Attention all riders! Dick Scott’s Indian Motorcycle Detroit is going to establish a chapter of the Indian Riders Group. We will be holding an informational meeting at 7:30 on Monday, April 20th.
The first mention of an Indian Riders Group goes back to 1907, when a group of motorcyclists loosely banded together to go riding. The founding fathers of Indian Motorcycle recognized this loyalty, and wanted their dealers to help promote this feeling by urging them to help form local Riders Clubs. They felt that the association of likeminded individuals would increase the overall experience in riding the motorcycle, foster camaraderie among owners, and give hands-on feedback to the dealer on the good and bad points of the bike.
In the 1920’s the motorcycles had ceased being looked upon as pure transportation, but as a sport. Motorcycling was fun and riding a motorcycle was an experience that you could share with your family and friends. The brand of motorcycle one rode gave you bragging rights over your buddies that had the other one and good-natured (most of the time) competition could only make riding better.
A Riders Group reinforces the strong loyalty amongst its family of riders and can better plan and promote activities for all of its participants. Local and regional rallies can be planned and organized and as the organization grows more benefits can be offered to each member so that the Indian experience gets better and better.
We are looking for all riders; all brands are welcome. The only requirement is that you like to ride and have a good time. If you would like to attend and find out more, please RSVP to Jeff Scott at (734) 398-5454 or send an email to jeffscott@dickscott.com
