MINNEAPOLIS, MN – Indian Motorcycle, America’s first motorcycle company, has officially announced the return of its “Ride With Us” Demo Days, a month-long nationwide initiative giving riders the chance to test the 2025 lineup while raising funds for Folds of Honor, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting families of fallen or disabled U.S. military service members and first responders.
Throughout September, participating Indian Motorcycle dealers across the United States will host demo rides, where each participant will receive an exclusive 2025 race-themed sticker pack and an automatic entry to win a new Chieftain PowerPlus. For every completed test ride, Indian Motorcycle pledges a $50 donation to Folds of Honor.
The campaign will culminate on Saturday, September 20, with the National Charity Ride, where riders from across the country will gather in solidarity to raise additional funds. Registrations and donations can be made directly through the Indian Motorcycle National Charity Ride webpage.
Supporting a Mission That Matters
“Our Ride With Us Demo Days are about more than just getting people on bikes,” said Aaron Jax, Vice President of Indian Motorcycle. “All month long, we’re uniting our community to support a cause that truly matters. Whether taking a demo ride or participating in the National Charity Ride, we’re proud to support Folds of Honor and help raise funds to benefit the brave families of fallen or disabled U.S. military service members and first responders.”
In 2024, the Indian Motorcycle community exceeded expectations by surpassing its $50,000 target, raising over $114,000 for Folds of Honor. For 2025, the brand has set an ambitious fundraising goal of $250,000. Thanks to the dedication of riders nationwide, more than $60,000 has already been raised toward this year’s target.
Enduring Partnership with Folds of Honor
“Indian Motorcycle continues to be an incredible ally in our mission to provide educational scholarships to the families of fallen and disabled service members and first responders,” said Lt. Col. Dan Rooney, Founder and CEO of Folds of Honor. “The support generated through Ride With Us Demo Days and the National Charity Ride not only raises critical funds but also unites the riding community in a powerful show of patriotism and purpose.”
Since its founding in 2007, Folds of Honor has awarded nearly 62,000 educational scholarships valued at approximately $290 million, making a significant impact on military and first responder families nationwide. The scholarships cover a wide range of educational opportunities, from K–12 tuition and college degrees to trade programs and postgraduate studies.
