RIDE FREE!

There’s no such thing as a free ride, unless you find yourself at a demo day in some forgotten parking lot on Milwaukee’s south side.

We were out shooting product photos for another project when one of the Indian motorcycles ended up in the frame. In a town built on Harley iron, seeing an Indian out in the wild felt like striking gold. Steel, muscle, and hard-earned craftsmanship all rolled into one brutal machine.

Here’s to the good friend we made that day, and to the killer shots that came with it.
