| The
VI Events page is the place for your club to post info on your upcoming
events (really?). I think we need a page where every Indian enthusiast
anywhere in the world know they can find info on every upcoming Indian
event in their own country and abroad; what better way to spice up
a vacation or business trip than to include an Indian club meet or show?
The European Indian cubs already cooperate on informing each other of the
events of each club, and this page could be seen as an extension of that.

VI Indian Events |
| There's a lot of talk about Land Speed
Racing on the VI Mailing List at the moment (will there be a VI
LSR Team in 2001??) as well as an article on it in this issue, as you
have probably noticed. The place to go for rules, existing records and
contacting the relevant organisations is the Southern California Timing
Association website.

| The Indian Motorcycle Club of Great
Britain has got a new website. As it is brand new, there's not a whole
lot of stuff on it yet, but it looks promising! Apart from contact details
for the club, events notices, picture archive and such, there's also ads
and a "chat room". One small gripe; some of the captions in the picture
archives are wrong; Fasst Jim's Scout isn't a "wall of death bike", and
the blue "1938 Sport Scout" is a Pony or Jr. Scout, but that's nitpicking...

| Matt Blake has been making high quality
Indian fenders for some years now, and will be offering Indian tanks soon
too. Matt has a brand new website, and it is pretty neat! The information
is easy to find (you click on the year you're interested in; which is a
relevant way to go about it, as anyone interested in buying fenders will
need them for a specific bike), and there's full illustrations, prices
and descriptions of all products. Much extra info on the site as well:
You can download fitting instructions for the fenders, which is bound to
save some grief. Look for a VI Dealer Page for the Iron Horse Corral
soon.

| Gearhead site of the month is Jeff
Diamond's Victory Library in NY. Apart from a modest selection of Indian
parts and a handful of very useful Indian tech booklets for sale, Jeff
also has a number of Tech Papers well worth studying for anyone into the
tech side of Indians. Jeff's focus is mainly HD (and Mopar), but much of
it is very relevant to Indians as well. There's tech papers on rod/stroke
ratios, Mikuni carb tuning and more - and the latest is flywheel balancing
and stroker flywheels! There's also a number of very useful data charts.
My dream is to one day get time to ask Jeff to write an article on how
to apply all of this to a hot and reliable Indian engine... (How about
it Jeff? Sorry I didn't get around to writing you direct about it).
