160,000+ Hits is another milestone, for the IIRA website, since the last review 10,000 ago the Americans 19% have overtaken India 16%, in viewing our website, the rest of the worlds countries (150) about take up the balance. Christmas is fast approaching, if you were alive 80 years ago you would probably be thinking of a ideal gift for the kids, the brochure above from the Indian Company might just be the answer to have sitting in the garage next to your Hedstrom or Powerplus by the way these Indian’s & the bicycle range are welcome in the IIRA if you are lucky enough to still have yours from when Santa dropped it down the chimney. The burning question of non-financial members, those who hav’nt paid their annual subs,are they are riding un-registered motorcycles? YES  if they are Red Plate Permit Machines with our Association! Please contact Peter Kime immediately  to renew or join another Club so you will then at least be legal.

Arnie is always a popular character on his 2003 Chief Vintage, similar to the model he rode on Terminator 3. Later this week I have some soft porn for you all a M.A.N Truck having anal sex with a WLA Harley-Ferguson, the owner looking quite helpless about it all, not very often you see a Tractor on these pages, so it will be worth a look

Phillip White has another article (Eastward Ho) in the wings for the forthcoming Smoke Signals Magazine, I have had a preview & it is a great read,the photo’s above are from the week-end’s International  Crazy Horse Rally 2012, with visitors from New Zealand attending. First picture is a fuel stop, second is of Wazza on the chook shed 741, & the last Chris Knoop preparing Rob Gosper’s 344 Chief for the Saturday Ride Robert is on crutches so Chris was his chauffeur for the week-end, needless to say the “Odd Couple” enjoyed the riding with Gosper yelling orders to Chris on how to ride a outfit. I found this amusing as Chris has just got back from riding the Invincible JAP outfit across the States on the Cannonball Run, I reckon he knows a little about this now, thanks Chris for donating 3rd prize in our raffle & of course Polaris -Indian for the Indian jacket as well

We are honoured to have had a letter of affiliation from the Indian motorcycle Cub of West Australia, this has always been a priority of the IIRA to foster relations with other existing Indian Clubs rather than trying to overrun them, it always  pays to have mates with similar or same interests, rather than change them, the Catholic Church tried this 500 years ago & it never worked! The Gypsie Tour 2012 cemented the relationship between our Clubs & hopefully will only lead to more events in the future, thanks again chaps.This week-end is the 3rd Crazy Horse Rally  those attending will have downloaded all the Maps & as there is a B.B,Q Saturday night which is B.Y.O everything don’t forget your meat unless you paid for the presentation  evening meal then it is free, breakfasts need to be ordered with Fiona when you book-in. I love the old Camelback above it was recently sold at a American auction
