Are you a fan of Indian Motorcycles? Think the Chieftain is a great motorcycle? Have you ever wanted to own a one-of-a-kind piece of motorcycle memorabilia? Well, 2014 may be your year.

Indian Motorcycles has teamed up with Twin Cities YMCA Youth Intervention Services to spend the month of January auctioning off an Indian Chieftain fuel tank that was “signed by all Research, Development and Design Engineers and Technicians at Polaris Industries involved in creating the 2014 Chieftain as well as CEO, Scott Wine.” The collectable tank is mounted in a protective plexiglass case suitable for display in your personal motorcycle museum. Or your living room, if you prefer.

Twin Cities YMCA Youth Intervention Services plans to use all proceeds from this auction “to help engage at-risk youth in pro-social activities [by] introducing them to power sports.” We all know that motorcycles are a force of good in the world. Help the Twin Cities YMCA lead the next generation of riders into the sport.

If that doesn’t sway you, think about how cool the display from the first bagger in Indian history would look in your man cave!

Sign up for the auction before it ends on January 31, 2014.

Like most of the best happenings in his life, Evans stumbled into his motojournalism career. While on his way to a planned life in academia, he applied for a job at a motorcycle magazine, thinking he’d get the opportunity to write some freelance articles. Instead, he was offered a full-time job in which he discovered he could actually get paid to ride other people’s motorcycles – and he’s never looked back. Over the 25 years he’s been in the motorcycle industry, Evans has written two books, 101 Sportbike Performance Projects and How to Modify Your Metric Cruiser, and has ridden just about every production motorcycle manufactured. Evans has a deep love of motorcycles and believes they are a force for good in the world.
