From the nickname, “Home of the Hog,” to the annual Hog Daze Motorcycle Rally, to even “The Cornfield Classic” from way back in 1919 and 1920…Marion has been a Mecca for all things motorcycle for over 100 years! And now, Downtown Marion proudly recognizes local entrepreneur Pat Mitchell and his business, Ride & Leather, for moving the storefront to 314 S. Washington St. Marion, IN 46952, making a direct nod to the history of our community.
Mitchell and his team have been creating custom motorcycle seats and other handmade leather accessories since 2003, and were formerly located in Jonesboro. However, it came time to make a move, and Downtown Marion was the natural choice. Visit their website, www.astechseat.com, or stop in and check out everything they have to offer. Mitchell also started the Jonesboro River Rally in 2005, which has now become the largest motorcycle rally in the state of Indiana.
