Indian Motorcycle attended Wheels & Waves for the first time last year, and this year it is going back as an official partner for the show.
Wheels & Waves is held at various locations near Biarritz and brings together “art, action, surfing and motorcycling over five action-packed days” from Wednesday 14th June to Sunday 18th June.
“There is a flat track race, a ride to an art exhibition, a street race called “Punks Peak”” and a weekend ride through the Basque country – add in the amazing weather, and you have the perfect reason to take a holiday there.
“For us, Wheels & Waves brings together all the elements that are important to Indian Motorcycle and our owners," says Grant Bester, Managing Director for the brand in Europe. "Those elements being the flat track racing, the art, the customization, but most of all the sharing of experiences with like-minded owners and riders. We can't wait to be there and go ride."The show is organized by Jérôme Allé, Julien Azé and Vincent Prat. Vincent says: “This sixth edition of Wheels & Waves is almost here. We spend all year thinking about this event and rework it to always give surprises to the attendees. For this year, we are proud to host Indian Motorcycle as the main sponsor. Indian will race in the El Rollo flat track race and “Punks Peak”. We hope to offer an amazing show over the five days.”
