Description

Indian Motorcycle is one of those rare machines where history doesn’t sit still—it revs. Founded in 1901 in Springfield, Massachusetts by George Hendee and Oscar Hedstrom, it became America’s first major motorcycle company and, for a time, the largest in the world.

Early Indians were fast, innovative, and a little wild-eyed in spirit, winning races like the 1911 Isle of Man TT and setting speed records that made headlines across the motorcycle world.

Their iconic models—the Scout and Chief—became rolling symbols of American engineering, known for their V-twin engines and flowing, art-deco styling. By the 1940s, Indian motorcycles were as much cultural objects as machines, tied to wartime service and post-war road freedom. But financial troubles caught up, and production collapsed in 1953, leaving the brand as a kind of mechanical ghost story for decades.

What followed was a long, uneven afterlife of revivals and reboots, until Polaris Industries resurrected Indian in 2011 with modern engineering wrapped in vintage-inspired design. Since then, models like the Scout, Chieftain, and Roadmaster have blended heritage aesthetics with contemporary performance, creating bikes that feel like they’ve been time-travelled forward.

Today, Indian Motorcycle stands as both tribute and reinvention: a century-old name still chasing the horizon, engine rumbling like a memory that refuses to fade.

John (JC) Reardon: The Universal Curator

John Reardon (writing as JC Reardon) is a prolific Australian author and a foundational pioneer of the nation's technology sector. Often described as a "modern polymath," Reardon has transitioned from building the infrastructure of the digital age to documenting the vast breadth of human knowledge through an expansive bibliography that exceeds 200 titles.

A Legacy of Innovation

Before becoming a mainstay in Australian publishing, Reardon was a trailblazer in the tech industry. He founded one of Australia's first Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and operated the country's first domain name provider. This deep-rooted expertise in complex systems—ranging from satellite technology to the inner workings of the internet—serves as the backbone for his contemporary writing on science and the future of AI.

The "Wikipedia with a Voice"

Reardon's literary approach is defined by his role as a knowledge aggregator. Rather than pursuing narrow academic specialization, he adopts the role of a "Universal Curator," mapping the continuous story of human civilization across several key pillars:

Military History: Detailed chronicles of the ANZACs, the Spitfire, and the Battle of Trafalgar.

Big Human Systems: Insightful explorations of global faiths and secret societies, including Buddhism, Islam, the Catholic Church, and the Freemasons.

Technology & Science: Accessible guides on Voyager, the evolution of the internet, and the trajectory of AI.

Myth & Folklore: Investigations into the Loch Ness Monster and the Illuminati.

Writing Philosophy

Utilizing an "overview + narrative" structure, Reardon focuses on accessibility, repackaging dense technical and historical data into digestible, story-driven guides for a general audience. His high-volume publishing model treats each book as a "compact portal," inviting the curious to explore a diverse array of subjects through the lens of a man who helped build the digital world they inhabit today.
