Riders of Bridgewater Becomes Official Indian Motorcycle UK Dealer
Riders of Bridgewater will officially unveil itself as an Indian Motorcycle dealer in the UK on 2 December
The family-owned business will become a premiere Indian Motorcycle dealership after serving as a provider of new Ducati and Harley-Davidson bikes.
Riders of Bridgewater, who also have a dealership in Bristol launched in 1976, will be renamed as Indian Motorcycle of Bridgewater with six models already in-store and ready for demo rides.
Each model will be different and doors will open on 2 December, for the business that has sold over 35,000 bikes since its inception.
Managing Director of Riders of Bridgwater, Phil Jessopp said: “Becoming an Indian Motorcycle dealership is truly a breath of fresh air after 48 incredible years in the business. It marks an exciting time and a bold, positive new chapter in Riders’ rich history.
“We are honoured and privileged to partner with such an iconic and legendary brand, one that perfectly aligns with our passion for motorcycling and commitment to excellence.
“This new journey with Indian Motorcycle fills us with anticipation for the future-an opportunity to bring even more innovation and adventure to our valued customers. We are excited to welcome both new customers and long-time Riders supporters into this next era.”
The Bridgwater showroom will allocate half its space to Indian Motorcycles, while retaining a Ducati presence. In doing so it will feature an array of different Indian Motorcycle models plus an extensive collection of genuine clothing and accessories on its mezzanine floor.
Jim Clarke, Regional Director, Central Europe for Indian Motorcycle added: “We are delighted to be starting this exciting partnership with Riders, a family-run business with an incredible legacy in the motorcycle industry.
“Their experience in managing successful dealerships and fostering vibrant riders’ communities is second to none. Expanding Indian Motorcycle’s presence into the Somerset region is a significant milestone, and we look forward to a bright future together, delivering exceptional motorcycles and building even stronger connections with riders in the area.”
