Indian Motorcycles (Paperback, Revised edition)

What began as a motorized bicycle dreamed up between young machinist George Hedstrom and racer George Hendee became one of the most popular motorcycles in the world - The Indian. Out of production for over half a century, this individual machine still invokes admiration and loyalty in the motorcycle world. This book recounts the history of the marque's story, from the earliest "motorcycles" of 1901 to 1953 when the company closed it's Wigwam site, examining trademark disputes, models, uses. More than 125 specially commissioned photographs capture the seductive power and grace of the Scout, Chief, Four, and Iron Range models, with accompanying text - all recreating the thrill the Indian generates to this day!
