Indian Motorcycle is well known in the Panama City area. With over two hundred branches extending across the United States, it is no secret that they are one of the top producers of motorcycles in the country.
The company began its legacy in 1897, and has expanded in ways the original founders could have never imagined. Those who run the various branches today are passionate, knowledgeable, and persistent in meeting all of their customer’s needs. Panama City’s Indian Motorcycle, owned and operated by Derek Kelley, is no exception to this phenomenal work ethic.
Derek grew up in Birmingham, Alabama, and as many Alabamians do, Derek spent a lot of time along the beautiful Emerald Coast during his free time. Derek said that he has always been drawn to this area, and it’s easy to see why! Surrounded by an atmosphere of such passion and persistence, there are few who would not find the Emerald Coast to be the perfect area to start a business.
Starting out, Derek was a part of Harley Davidson, but when offered the opportunity to become a part of Indian Motorcycle he couldn’t resist.
“I wanted to be in on the ground floor. PCB had 2 bike weeks per year, and presented a great market opportunity to grow and build,” Derek commented.
One of Derek’s hobbies over the course of his life has been riding and repairing motorcycles. This fascination is the primary thing that led him to begin his own branch of Indian Motorcycle. However, no business thrives on the effort of a single individual, and Indian Motorcycle is no different. Derek is surrounded by an amazing team of individuals, including his general manager, Randy, who has been with the company since 2007, and his marketing manager, Emily. Each person in the company has contributed to their success in an enormous way!
Indian Motorcycle specializes in a multitude of various motorcycles, including the Classic Scout, the Dark Horse, FTR Series, Challenger, and Roadmaster. They are full service, and carry a large amount of parts and other accessories. Their dedication to creating and servicing great motorcycles has earned them a reputation for quality, performance, and reliability.
Beyond their machinery genius, however, the thing that really causes Indian Motorcycle of PCB to stand out is their zeal to make sure their customers are always the top priority. “I think our customer service is impeccable. We have years of experience.” Randy mentioned.
Indian Motorcycle has the perfect small-town feeling, and when one walks into the shop it’s sure to feel like a friendly welcome home for both motorcycle enthusiasts as well as those just beginning their journey into the world of riding.
