The Gathering 2017
Last year, North East of us residing in Texas, up in the beautiful Ozarks, the IIRA had their 1st Annual “The Gathering” put on by the Gateway Chapter of the Iron Indians. This year, the 2nd annual looks to be even bigger and better with the Flatlanders Chapter co-sponsoring the event! The combination (impromptu) last year worked well, and they are planning on taking it to the next level this year!
Join the Iron Indian Riders Association out in Osage Beach, Missouri this year over the last week of August! Few folks from Texas will be rolling in ; Join Us!
Note: To order shirts, check out the pics and reach out to the registration folks!

March 31-April 2, 2017
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.

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)

Distrressed Leather Solutions
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
