Hi Philadelphia friends or folks in the area! If you have not heard already, the American Swedish Museum has a special exhibition on Indian Motorcycles. The American Swedish Museum is the oldest Swedish Museum in the United States and it is right here in South Philadelphia! The exhibition, "Indian Nation: Indian Motorcycles and America," features 12 rare bikes, parts, and history about the company's roots and key innovations.
Oscar Hedstrom, a Swedish immigrant, was the mastermind behind the first American motorcycle, the Indian, and co-founded the Indian Motocycle Manufacturing Company in 1901 with partner George Hendee.
If you are in the area I suggest you check out the exhibition. It runs through the summer.
I met someone from Philadelphia the other day, who works for Cool Material, so I'll have to pass this one.
