Description: Lyrics from X Ambassadors' "Renegades". I love the song, especially these lyrics. Excelsior (the motorcycle shown) was manufactured by the Excelsior Motor Manufacturing & Supply Company, in Chicago from 1907 to 1931. The parent company of Excelsior was Schwinn (the bicycle manufacturer, beginning in 1912. That same year, an Excelsior was the first motorcycle to be officially timed at a speed of 100 mph. By 1928, Excelsior was in third place in the U.S. motorcycle market behind Indian and Harley-Davidson. The Great Depression convinced Schwinn to order Excelsior's operations to cease in September 1931.
