My mission is to take a long cross country trip across the Ole' US of A. I would like to go to the big shows. Daytona, Sturgis, Laconia and any other bikes shows worthy of an INDIAN. SO please fill me up and keep me going.
I want to go and see my big brothers of the world. I like posing with them. Please help me on this journey. Keep my tank full and my wheels a rolling.
I am a 1939 Indian Four. The original Indian motorycle company was founded in 1901 in Springfield Massachusetts USA, by bicycle racer George Hendee and Swedish immigrant Oscar Hedstrom.Some people wonder why it was called the Indian Motocycle Company instead of Indian Motorcycle Company. In Italy, all motorcycles have names beginning with "moto" e.g. Moto-Guzzi, Moto-Ducati, Moto-Laverda, so perhaps Hedstrom was familiar with that. The earliest models looked like mopeds (bicycles with small single cylinder engines) and only 3 were made in 1901. Interestingly, Triumph began production the next year (1902) and Harley-Davidson the year after (1903). So the order was Indian, Triumph, Harley. This "Big Three" are still around a century later, while many other brands which started later died off years ago.
