As America’s First Motorcycle Company, Indian Motorcycle is celebrating four industry “first movers” who have made their mark in motorcycling – each with their own special vignette.

To kick off the series, Indian Motorcycle is recognizing Randy “Detroit” Hayward. As a vintage motorcycle enthusiast, Veteran, and the founder of a traveling Black History Museum, Randy recently converted his 1929 Indian 4 with an electric powertrain. To Randy, building and customizing motorcycles is art, and not something he does for attention or recognition. Randy wrenches with passion.
