Indian Motorcycles celebrated its 100th birthday in 2001. The Century Ride Home is an event dedicated to the memory of these wonderful machines AND to raising money and public awareness for Cystic Fibrosis. The Ride began in California and ended at Indian's birthplace, Springfield Massachusetts. The route for me started at my home in Cary, NC, meeting up with the CRH group in Harrisburg, PA. This was a special journey with many friendships made and plenty of Indian style camaraderie. The best thing about Indian Motorcycles are the riders. These pictures may give you a small idea of what this once in a lifetime adventure was about.
