XV62 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I really wonder what's so wrong with this forum and the member's forum and the way that IRIP has been going on for at least the first ten years. I wasn't able to be there last year, so I don't know how it was. The six I attended of the previous ten went off pretty well from my point of view, even with the CH bunch splintering off. This latest split I never saw coming and seems as if I ain't the only one missed it. Been over looking at the IOA forum. Makes me wonder what got into HF. I cain't believe HF is going to restrict the IIRA sales to three hours at the swap meet. WTF is up with that. They got all of 61 members over there and all of them ain't gonna show up for IRIP. What a bust it would be if the IIRA boycotted it all together. Who knows? Maybe that's the way they want it. Just don't understand all I know about this development. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think he will be over at the store. KCcheef, Rockarosa, and Darkrider seem to be a big threesome. I haven't decided whether to go or cancel. Staying across the street also. Not going to register either mainly cuz I ain't paying for the meth themed shirts. Everyone oughta read the story about how that came about. Not quite sure what to think about that. Fanaticism at it's worst. I guess we can walk or ride across to the pavilion and join in. All they can do is tell ya to leave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XV62 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 What is IOA? New association with a forum started by Hunters Friend, Rockarosa and maybe a coupla others as far as I have determined............... Near as I can tell from bits and pieces I keep finding, (I was pretty busy last year and missed a lot of things on here), this new deal grew out of the rift between Dr. Mark, and a few others in one group, and Last Resort and the IIRA in the other. ] Someone correct me if that is incorrect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissIndian Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 .... it is always like this when something is falling apart .... lot of people are confused, some changing teams, others are staying and others are here and there and some are sitting on the fence ...... recipe for friction between riders. Serenity now ....... will save us 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I remember IRIP 2.... Mike was delivered a motorcycle and received an IIRA back patch... It was very heavily an IIRA event.... Sorry to see it go south.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much fun will it be when Ed comes across the street and tells me to leave..... And why would Ed even want to show his face at IRIP.. If I knew I wasn't welcome somewhere, that would be fine with me and I would stay away... Whatever happened to CH's own Indian Rally.. but again, I don't even know if CH is even still around... If the CH group evaporated, I guess those that are lost are looking for somewhere to hang.. if so, so sad! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickkciR Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) CH is down the tubes isn't it? When JW sold it, and quit throwing $ and bikes at Ed, he sort of went by the wayside himself ( not sure if he's still employed by JW with his day business). .. .. that forum over there is a ghost town .. JW sold his bikes about ... 12-18mos ago... that's about the time Ed's sails lost all their steam. My assumption is the '100s are still being built and worked on .. but... the new proprieters? And now no reality show to send them to .. so .. who knows... Edited April 15, 2015 by RickkciR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONMYI Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Ooh man, am I way behind in this; that's what I get for not going to those other foreign forum sites.. Don't like indifferences N dividing lines such as this.. I'll still be there, on vacation, with my wife & Indians.. We'll see how deepshit things get, we ain't gotta stay and, can check out at anytime N if we do, probably won't be back again.. Actually sorry to hear of this, Dave 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenB Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I've made plans, have reservations, so I'm going to IRIP this year. I'll only be there for a couple of days though. Personally I don't want to get involved with political shit. If HF doesn't do a good job and if they don't support the IIRA then I won't be back. There's talk on the IIRA forum of a rotating event - hopefully that will take off and work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the CH group evaporated, I guess those that are lost are looking for somewhere to hang.. if so, so sad! ....think Legacy Riders Group...he allegedly called ATF (Hunters Friend says he got a visit) on IRIP because of the lawlessness that surrounds the rally.....LOL. Special Ed shows up every other year and posts up across from IRIP HQ.....hangs around until he is asked to leave... I heard they had a canoe trip Indian Motorcycle aka rally..... somewhere in Iowa once, I think Brock went... ..ask him Edited April 15, 2015 by harleynot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badndn Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) The Barn will always be open to all Indian riders that can act with respect and not act like juvenile delinquents. If you come and try to stir shit, you will leave. I don't care which cyber motorcycle club you belong to. I value my friends and I do not choose them based upon whether they belong to this or that. Obviously others do. All of this was inevitable. Edited April 15, 2015 by badndn 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
