The Sisters' Centennial Motorcycle Ride departs today, leaving from Brooklyn and heading briefly north to Springfield, Massachusetts, the ancestral home of Indian. From there, the journey traces the Lincoln Highway—America's first interstate roadway—and hits such notable points as the AMA Hall of Fame in Columbus, Ohio, the Rocky Mountain Motorcycle Museum in Colorado, and Pikes Peak. Proceeds from the event will go to Final Salute, a charity that helps homeless female veterans, and the Women's Coalition of Motorcyclists.
