Yesterday Friday evening, at the Hilton Daytona Beach Resort, motorcycle industry VIP’s and celebrities gathered for a Daytona Bike week kickoff party and to witness the unveiling of 6 custom builds based on the Indian Chieftain. 3 from Carey Hart, Paul Yaffe, and Brian Klock, and 3 others built by Indian dealers. Because it was very difficult to photograph all these bikes in full at night, I will release new complete photos in the coming days.
Before introducing each builder and their creations, President Of Indian Motorcycles Steve Menneto confirmed intensive plans to release many new models during the next 2 years. Because 2017 is the 50th anniversary of Burt Munro setting in Bonneville the Indian record of 183.59 mph or 305.89 km/h in the under 1000 cc class, be ready for very special Indian events, celebrations and models during the second half of the year. Can’t tell you more right now…(photos @ H. Roesler, M. Graf, R. Spring)
Famous people there. All looking good.
Want to see much more about these customs.
Always a girl near Cyril…
I want to be invited to the next one.
Long time we didn’t hear from Jesse Rooke. What’s up?
Cyril, who’s the lady that you are trying to put a hand on? Very Cute.
Would like to be in these insiders parties to hear what is said…
Sorry I just cannot get enthused about Menneto and his Indians. Cleveland Indians yes, Polaris Indians naw!
