The latest copy is out on line to some members who wish it that way, the hard copy version will hit the mailbox hopefully later in the week Aust Post is always pressed this time of year. The picture above is of “OXO’S” 2001 Chief taken at the recent successful Crazy Horse Rally last month, I like this picture as it is a typical High Country Shack of the old days, looks straight out of the “Man from Snowy River” movie some years ago. I am starting to assemble a 1944 Chief at the moment should be on the road probably February or March as there is’nt a rush on it like the Vincati & it is easier to do as the engine is finished already. I believe Daryl Colt posted a online video of member James Lambert’s (Breed Flathead) in the sprint, click on the FaceBook Logo above to view this it certainly does sound great & is very,very quick

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have been loading a few new YouTube links on our site recently one of Mark at Iron Horse Coral’s 1948 Chief Outfit, man what a gem of a chair it has all the bells & whistles, the other is the World’s Fastest Indian as it is today, Burt would’nt recognize it as it is in concours condition far & away from the way it was when it was at Bonneville. The picture above is of Oscar Hedstrom, as a Boardtrack racer he liked the product so much he raced it,George Hendee is a more conservative gentleman on one of his first creations a 1904 Camelback, both of these blokes were the founders of the largest motorcycle firm in the world till 1923 and laid the foundations of all Indian’s up till today. The Milwaukee Tractor Company may have more famous Founders, but I like the Indian name better than a Hendee-Hedstrom

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
