Indian Motorcycle Comes to Sioux Falls

They've been on the road for more than 100 years, but you've never been able to buy one in Sioux Falls.

Until now.

Vern Eide Motoplex, I-29 - Exit 83, is bringing Indian Motorcycle to South Dakota's largest city.

Indian was first manufactured in 1901 by a company in Springfield, Massachusetts, initially known as the Hendee Manufacturing Company, but which was renamed the Indian Motorcycle Manufacturing Company in 1928.

Gene Olson, from Vern Eide Motoplex, told me a little about the history of the bikes themselves:

The Demo Tour event is this weekend, Friday and Saturday, with demo rides from 9:00am to 4:00pm, plus, later that evening, free entertainment, food and drinks, and a chance to win some great prizes:

Call (605) 221-4000 to RSVP for a free demo ride.

I'll be at Vern Eide Motoplex broadcasting live, Saturday from 11:00am to 1:00pm.
