Turning southeast, Wyman rode through Goshen, Indiana at about 5:30 that afternoon. In 1903, Goshen was a farming community with a population of about 7,810. It was settled by "Yankee" immigrants in the 1830s. They named it after the "Land of Goshen" owing to their Puritan and Amish heritage. With ample daylight remaining and the motorcycle running well, he continued all the way to Ligonier, where he stopped for the night. Wyman had ridden 130 miles, one of his best days.
Today, Goshen is the home of Janus American Motorcycles. "Founded on the belief that the spirit of motorcycling is best understood on a small, lightweight machine, and that honoring timeless styling cues from motorcycling history isn't antithetical to modern engineering and performance. Janus Motorcycles provide riders with a more powerful sensation of speed and a more direct connection with both the road and the passing landscape than is possible with many of today's motorcycle designs."
"The design and manufacturing process developed by Janus in northern Indiana is focused on the highest level of design, quality, and performance. This approach mandates a motorcycle different from any others made today and guarantees a fundamental simplicity of operation and maintenance, making possible a closer relationship between owner and machine. All fabricated parts of our motorcycles are made within about 20 miles of our facility, with specialty cast parts such as the engine & brakes sourced from the best suppliers we could find for our purposes."

We are excited to have Janus as a supporter of the Project. They bring an undeniable passion for the sport of motorcycling and a special synergy to our efforts...
