Remembering Ozzy Osbourne and the Black Sabbath custom Indian Sport Chief
It was less than a month ago that Indian announced a Sports Chief custom paying homage to Ozzy Osbourne and his band Black Sabbath.
Earlier this month, Indian Motorcycle confirmed that Krazy Horse would be in charge of transforming a one-off special custom Sport Chief RT model to pay homage to Ozzy Osbourne and his band Black Sabbath.
The bike was then donated for a charity auction and signed by a star-studded line-up of singers, as part of the ‘Back to the Beginning’ Show early this month. Seen through some CG photos, we now know what the bike will look like, and the results are pretty trippy to say the least, with the faces of each Black Sabbath member depicted across the fuel tank.
The donation for the Sport Chief RT coincided with what would become Ozzy's last performance, following the news of his passing on July 22. That performance was the band's first in over 20 years by the original Black Sabbath lineup, featuring Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward.
The event took place on Saturday, 5 July, at Villa Park, in Black Sabbath’s hometown. As part of its bid to support the occasion, and the event’s charities, Indian’s Sport Chief RT was fully customised by the Krazy Horse Indian Motorcycle dealer. Paying homage to the legendary career of Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath.
John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne passed away on July 22, aged 76, following a lengthy battle with Parkinson's disease.
RIP to "The Prince of Darkness".
