Long Beach Only: Unveiling the ‘Jack Daniel’s Operation Ride Home’ Custom Bike to Benefit the U.S. Military

On Friday, December 6 Indian Motorcycle will reveal a one-of-a-kind custom bike it has created to benefit U.S. Armed Forces personnel and their families. In support of Jack Daniel’s ‘Operation Ride Home’ program, the company pulled the ‘No. 7’ serial number Indian Chief Vintage out of the first 1901 numbered motorcycles from its assembly line and partnered with the talented artists at Klock Werks in Mitchell, SD to create a special motorcycle. The bike will be on-hand throughout the Long Beach and New York City shows before it heads to the Scottsdale, AZ Barrett-Jackson auction in January in support of Operation Ride Home and U.S. military families. The low ‘No. 7’ serial number will be a desirable collector’s motorcycle, which Indian expects will benefit the Operation Ride Home project with a strong donation. At the Long Beach and New York IMS shows, attendees who wish to contribute to Operation Ride Home may donate in a special Jack Daniel’s whiskey barrel inside the Indian Motorcycle display.
