The Canadian landcsape is built for motorcycles...
In turn, Canadians have built motorcycles for the landscape. A total of 21 different brands have travelled with riders, carried competitora across finish lines, served alongside police officers and supported soldiers overseas.
The first motorcycles, like the Lightweight Motor Cycle built by the Canadian Cycle and Motor Company (CCM), drew inspiration from the freedom afforded by early automobiles. Among the few motorcycles CCM produced, the 1908 model featured on the stamp sported a Swiss-designed engine that could be installed on any conventional bike frame.
Four years later, the Indian, represented here by the 1914 model, met with widespread commercial success. Massachusetts-based Hendee Manufacturing Company – later known as the Indian Motorcycle Company – built the bikesat a factory on Toronto's Mercer Street. The Indian became the bike of choice for Canadian racer "Wild Joe" Baribeau, winning him Provincial and national racing championships. Inpressed by the abilities of the Indian, Canadian police departments began ordering the bike for their own motorcycle corps.
