At last the Trading post is going so anything you have for sale, bikes, sidecars, parts or regalia send photo’s and prices to me and its all free to members. So conditions B.E.A ( British,European American ) and of course Indian motorcycle stuff are welcome, anybody else thats not in the IIRA are free to buy but not advertise
Last nights agenda was a monumental change in our Association two changes to our constitution happened and voted in un-apposed firstly no segregation of membership so associate members are now full members with full voting privileges this means now all members can hold committee positions not only Indian Owners as in the past. The other change was acceptance of B.E.A (British, European, American) till 1975 was voted on and it was unanimous that this will also ensure growth in our Association into the future, with the good roll-up of attendee’s at the meeting unlike late last year it seems that going to quarterly rides and meetings have given us a successful boost. That said the 2 major rallies a year instead of 4 will yet to see if that works as our next Crazy Horse Rally at Coroyong in October will be yet to be proven.
The next years Gypsy Tour of Tassie 2024 in March next year 7 people have already made the commitment and paid the $100 entry to come and we will be limiting it to 20 financial members on club eligible machinery (all Indians and BEA British,European & American till 1976) , the thing is you must book the ferry NOW as if you leave it go for another few months the ferry will be FULL. Recent reports are the ferry is full so you may have to book the day before to get on!
Lastly Membership Sec Andrew tells me 30 people need to renew now so unless you are a brand new member thats joined in the last 3 months start to put this down as a priority now. the end of next month un-financial members are riding un-permitted red plate machines the fine is 3 points off your licence and $800 + fine.

Been a few years since we have had a Gypsy Tour but now Covid-19 is behind us we have organised another in March 2024 dates are listed on the calendar there will be a back-up vehicle provided to carry some luggage a small sports (sausage) bag per person the rest will be carried on your own machine.
