CBM Cycles to close in Osceola, reopen as Elkhart Indian

ELKHART, Ind. – The folks at CBM Cycles in Osceola are going to be very busy for the next few weeks, with a move to a larger site and a name change under the Indian banner on the schedule by Sept. 11.That’s the day the shop will reopen as Elkhart Indian Motorcycle, the result of an eight-month process to get approved as an Indian dealer. The next closest Indian dealership is 70 miles away in Merrillville.“Our customer base has grown really nicely and we needed a new location to accommodate all the work we’re doing,” general manager Ann Schelle told the Elkhart Truth. “We learned that expanding at the same time might be a good idea, so we reached out to Indian.”The face of the new store will be Indian, but near the service center in the back will be used Harley-Davidson sales.“There’s been a rumor going around that because we’re an Indian dealership we’re not going to touch Harleys,” Schelle said. “That is absolutely false. Nothing about our service is going to change.”CBM’s Osceola location will close in September. A grand opening celebration planned for Sept. 25 at the new site will include live music and a beer garden.  http://www.dealernews.com/dealernews/article/cbm-cycles-close-osceola-reopen-elkhart-indian #yashta
