Full Vision Productions and Indian Motorcycle have created The Next Great Tradition: “Veterans Charity Ride to Sturgis.” The Ride and Campaign will raise awareness and support for wounded and severely injured veterans across the nation.
Indian Motorcycle is stepping up their commitment to Veterans and Active Service members by providing wounded veterans with Indian motorcycles to ride cross-country to the 75th anniversary of the Sturgis Bike Rally in South Dakota. Several of the Indian Chief models have been outfitted with sidecars specially built and provided by Champion Sidecars to accommodate severely injured veterans.
“I know I speak not only for myself, but for the entire Indian Motorcycle Company, that we are proud and honored to be part of The Next Great Tradition: Veterans Charity Ride to Sturgis this year,” said Robert Pandya, External Relations Manager for Indian Motorcycle.
More than a dozen veterans, on Indian Motorcycles, will start their week-long journey to Sturgis, South Dakota, from Los Angeles with a surprise celebrity guest on July 27. Their first stop is Las Vegas, Nevada, where the veterans will be special guests at the unveiling of Indian Motorcycle and Polaris’ new 2016 model year rollout and Dealer convention.
Leaving Las Vegas, the veterans will spend the next six days riding scenic backroads before arriving in Sturgis on Sunday, August 2.
Emmy award winning director Robert Manciero and his production company Full Vision Productions has partnered with Indian Motorcycle to create this adventure and film the entire journey.
“We are honored to be putting on this event and campaign with Indian Motorcycle and the veterans that have given so much for our country. We have a fantastic two week ride laid out for our veterans with surprise activities and excursions planned along the route in addition to chefs preparing special meals and visits with other veterans and organizations,” said Manciero.
