Well, 2016’s was a blast!
Up next… The Second in a Row in the Durango Location. The Iron Horse Inn (for the Durango Iron Indian Reunion) has the gazebo up and a fire pit and they will be running electricity out there. More rooms may have also opened up, so if you want one, CALL and get your name in. Rooms pop up intermittently, so get your name on the list! Want to join the IIRA? Email us ASAP and lets get it done! Ironindianridersmembership@gmail.com
Join us March 31st- April 2nd in Fredericksburg TX, the gateway to the iconic Texas Hill Country. Enjoy scenic rides, tasty foods, live music and the camaraderie that only a sidecar rig can bring.
All models and brands of motorcycles and sidecars are welcome, especially if you like cruisin’ backroads with friends. This is an event dedicated to sidecars- but if you’ve already registered your hack, you’re welcome to bring along another motorcycle if you need it.
4th Annual Indians in the Hill Country Rally. This year looks to have an outstanding turnout with riders from as far away as Fredericksburg, Virginia and SoCal sending RSVP’s. All rooms have been booked at the Econolodge already, but more are available in the area. Indian of Fort Hood is sponsoring the Rally as in years past, and Brad Van Horn the owner is having his Annual Bike Show (more info below).
Main group is at the Econolodge , but the motel is sold out. There are several motels/hotels nearby. There are over a dozen throughout the cit. Additionally, RV campgrounds are available nearby.

KSU @ 8:45am There is a hand built Motorcycle Show in Austin April 21-23 with the American Motor Drome Company / Wall of Death Show preforming. From the website the 1st show is Friday @ 11am
The ride would be about 1.5 hours (85 miles) and mostly freeway riding. Plans would be to get there by 11 and leave by 2:30pm or so to beat the Friday Austin traffic. Need to know who would be interested in this, as it’s a departure from riding the Hill Country. Rumor has it, we might be able to see some of the Indian Motorcycle Super Hooligan’s (only rumor so far)

Since 2009, Indian’s distressed leather on the bikes has been ….. less than desirable when it comes to keeping it’s original look. A lot of folks have gone to great length, trials and tribulations, felt a lot of pain along the way , to find solutions.
We’ve compiled these into a dynamic document that we’re included here. If you have any thoughts/questions/addictions, please comment and let us know

It’s that time of the year folks! Several more weeks to go! One of the biggest 4 dayers in the Nation! One of the biggest, in the great state of Texas! Weather has been great for the last 1/2 dozen years, temps are always mild <>warm, music every night on the Strand , and bikes from the Seawall to the Harbor side! See you there!
Been a hot one lately folks! Rainy .. muggy .. hot. We love our Texas Summers, but can’t help but look forward to some coolers temps to ride in. Next up on the Calendar for many is …. The Hot Springs Rally! Three days of fun, music and great riding ! If you opt for a wrist band , $50 will get you an entire weekend to include two nights of concerts; not a bad deal!
Check out the links and we hope to see you all there!
Yes…. it was Epic . Ready for 2017?
Well, we’re in somewhat of a lull folks.. it’s HOT out there and not a lot going on! Republic of Texas Bike Rally , one of the largest , craziest in the country just came and went. Many folks from Texas two weeks ago headed up to Durango for either the IIRA’s Reunion or the IMRG’s rendezvous. Both were the same weekend and close to each other. We heard the Friday night banquet help by the IMRG was a success. The IIRA had upwards of a hundred members and at least 52 Indian motorcycles, in attendance. Both events, are already scheduled for next year , so get them on your calendar!
Well folks , next month, less than thirty days out, we have a major event in the west for the Indian Motorcycle Community!
The Iron Indian Riders Association which has been around for almost 14 years, is having their reunion in Durango Colorado. , 10 -13 June.
As luck would have it the Indian Motorcycle Riders Group is having a multi state mini-rally simultaneously, ALSO in Durango at the Sky Ute Casino, 9-12 June
There are no official numbers, but a solid guess is upwards of 350 for the IMRG from 5+ States and 100 IIRA from around the country. That should correlate into 200-300 Indian Motorcycles running down the Million Dollar Highway!
With some incredible riding ….. you’ve got to be asking yourself …. . “Why am I not going?” Good question.. so, come join us!
