On June 29,
Ritchie Bros. will sell the first
ever "Gentleman Jack" bike ever produced
VANCOUVER, BC, June 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - For the fifth
straight year, Indian Motorcycle and Jack
Daniel's have teamed up to create a limited edition Indian
Roadmaster Dark Horse. This year's design was modeled after
Jack Daniel's Gentleman Jack whiskey
and only 107 were produced. On June
29, Ritchie Bros. will sell
the very first Gentleman Jack produced, with all proceeds going to
the Armed Services YMCA's Operation Ride Home program.
"After the last year of quarantines and travel restrictions, the
ability to reunite with family has taken on even greater meaning
for our service members," said Bill
French, CEO of Armed Services YMCA. "We are profoundly
grateful to Jack Daniel's, Indian
Motorcycle, and Ritchie Bros. for
making this auction possible. Our military families need and
deserve a chance to go home and the funds raised from this event
will make that possible."
The Gentleman Jack will be sold unreserved in Ritchie Bros.' Southeast Regional online auction
on June 29. Its whiskey pearl paint
scheme and oakwood accents are inspired by Jack Daniel's crafting process. The bike also
includes Pathfinder Adaptive LED headlight with Pathfinder S LED
driving light; ClimaCommand Rogue heated and cooled seat; and a
one-of-a-kind Montana Silversmith
badge, engraved with the bike's number 001 of 107.
"We are so proud to help auction off this one-of-a-kind
Indian/Gentleman Jack Roadmaster for ASYMCA," said Kieran Holm, President, RB Services,
Ritchie Bros. "Since Jack Daniel's Operation Ride Home program began
in 2011, the partnership has generated a total of more than
$1.8 million in donations and sent a
total of 8,583 individual junior-enlisted service members and their
families home when it mattered most. Servicemen and women from the
Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard have been
assisted with travel to all 50 states."
