I don’t know about you all, but this weather.. for no better word…. sucks!   Have to admit , it’s nice have some cooler temps, but with many lakes now overflowing and rides getting canceled, it’s getting a lil’ old?   Lets all cross our fingers and hope we have sunshine and blue skies back soon!

Eight Days until IRIP!

This is NOT a rehash of the existing Forums that can be found out there!   This is a bare-bones, basic forum, to share info on upcoming rides, rally’s , and pertinent info!   To be honest, there already TOO MANY full blown forums out there?

Our hope is this creates a simple, global , ‘meeting place’ outside Facebook and the in depth forums out there, for quick answers and a simple way for you to find info that helps you enjoy your Indian Motorcycle!

New Galleries are up and running!

If you’d like us to post a pic, email it to chief@texasindianbikers.com , with your Name and where you live, and we’ll add it to our Gallery for the world to see!  If you belong to a specific Riding group ( ex. IIRA, IMRG, etc ) let us know as well!

The region’s biggest Indian Motorcycle event of May/June time frame is right around the corner!  What is IRIP?   IRIP was started many moons ago.  The “bike gathering in Missouri ” ( how it was originally referred to ) initially started as an event attended mainly by the IIRA. In fact, it’s been stated its “always been a sanctioned IIRA event. ” Its not hosted by the IIRA, but none of would have happened without the IIRA.   There is some ‘deep’ history to the specifics of exactly how everything transpired, but know that if you go, you’ll be rolling into a small gathering ( if you consider 200-300 small ) of folks, that love their Indian Motorcycles and looking to spend a week together riding and having a great time on-site there.  All this being said,  time brings changes;  relationships and organization memberships change.   Though the IIRA is not at the ‘base’ of it this year ( though there in numbers), the IRIP is celebrating it’s 12^th Annual event, and it should be another great one. Hundreds of people attend, predominantly on Indian Motorcycles (though all bikes are welcomed). It’ll be attended mainly by folks belonging to the IIRA, IMRG and IOA.   And of course, open to folks that don’t belong to any group/association or MC. It’s been called a ‘family home coming‘ by many. This year, will be the same for many attending.  Hope to see you there!

The Predominant Primary Forum has historically been the Indian Motorcycle Community Forum. This forum arose during the frustrating Gilroy days when Indian Motorcycle was having some QA problems, and not addressing owner’s concerns.   This is circa ’99-’03 .  A core group of owners have been on this forum from day one.  They’ve seen Indian through the Kings Mountain years and now the Spirit Lake years.  There is a huge treasure trove of info within the forum’s archives.  This is where I would look first.  Please note: This forum consists of folks that have been on it for years.  They are more than willingly to help.  Just do yourself a favor and do a quick search for the answer, before asking.  And pace yourself and get to ‘know’ the folks versus ruffle feathers.  Trust me 🙂

With the introduction of the new Spirit Lake Indians in Aug 2013, another large forum has come on the scene and is a huge wealth of info as well, primarily for the new ’14-’16 Models.  This is the Chief Indian Motorcycle Forum.

There are a few other sites where info can be had, but if you’re Indian is in the ’99-’16 Range, your answers most likely can be found here between these two!

Day one of the new site! This has been planned for years! Finally coming to fruition ….
