This year we have quite a few changes in the way our rallies are being run, firstly shared rallies & some rides these are being introduced to quell the complacency of some members in our Association to book a rally in the last week (or days) and expect the food and accomodation will all be organised as if they are royalty those days are passed folks. The new way is a Expression of Interest form will be posted (electronically) or texted at least 6 weeks before the event hastily followed by a rally entry in the following 2 weeks. All entries will close a month before the event and must be paid for before the rally and if you want to enter later, fine organise your own accomodation and meals. We are running this years Crazy Horse at Dunkeld Vic and its a very small town so we have booked one place out completely to ensure we will not be left with rooms we have decided to combine with VRV (Vincent Riders Victoria) they are a very keen new group and are eager to participate in our well planned rally. So whats it mean to you, well no problems all accomodation is booked through Peter Kime and Iron Indian members have first option, VRV are second so make a commitment pay early and fill in your entry form early to ensure your in. The rally link is above and in the calendar area

Some time ago I started doing just that, admiring my Indian and the good thing is others doing the same sometimes just pedestrians and not even motorcyclists, what is it about them old or new? Well I admire their reliability and their sheer ruggedness, all most crude but damn near unbreakability, sure plenty of modern other brands are reliable but they all look the same except a Enfield or a Bonnie the latter commanding as much respect as a Indian, the jury’s still out on the new 650 Enfield. The good thing about the new Indian’s is they are starting to get affordable as the older Springfields are expensive now the days of buying a 741 for under $10,000 are well gone and the same for a Chief usually starting at $30,000, but later Polaris Indian’s second hand start at $14,000 up to $22,000 in various condition quite affordable and they attract hopefully new individuals loyal to the brand.
