The Classic Indian Motorcycle: A History of the Marque 1901 to 1953

Description

Alongside Harley-Davidson, the Indian marque is the most famous name in American motorcycling and has now achieved legendary status. Superbly illustrated with 120 full-color photographs, this book tells the complete story of the men and the machines that created the legend. One of the most famous in the history of motorcyling, the Indian motorcycle company forged a reputation for high quality, innovative engineering, and race-winning success. This decade-by-decade chronicle traces the entire story of the marque from the launch of the company in Springfield, Mass. by Oscar Hedstrom and George Hendee. See and read about the bikes on which the legend was built, from the first V-twin in 1907 to the glories of the Indian Four, the 101 Scout and the definitive Indian Chief, perhaps the most recognizable bike of all time.(Super photography details the bikes up close.) From the pioneers of the early and golden days of the Indian motorcycle to the bike clubs that keep the interest alive and well, this is a thoroughly informative and entertaining tribute to the quintessential motorcyle of America. 9 1/2" x 10 3/4". Review: indian motorcycle review - This book was a present for my Brother in law who is very hard to buy for, but casually mentioned before his birthday he was looking for a book on Indian motorcycles in the book shops but couldn't find one. Looked on desertcart and hey presto, secondhand but in really good condition and a fifth of the price new. The book arrived from USA after his birthday but a week before the scheduled date from the Seller, so very happy with service and product, thanks desertcart Smig57 Review: Indian Motorcycle - Great book.
