Indian Motorcycle Riders Group launches in EMEA. The number of Indian Motorcycle owners outside of the USA has now grown to the point where they can now become part of the existing Indian Motorcycle Riders Group (IMRG).

These dealerships will then become the hub of activity for owners in each of the countries throughout the EMEA region.

    The MoCo was offered the oportunity to partisapate in the 50th celebration of the July 4th 1947 incident in 1997 and they declined then and every year there after. So, it’s no wonder that Polaris jumped on the oportunity with their Indian brand.
