October is a great time of year for Death Valley, not too hot and almost always dry. This years run, held October 4,5,6, 1999 was no exception. At one point on the tour I counted 27 bikes. There were 16 Indians, 7 Harley Davidsons, 3 Triumph twins, and a 1951 Panther side hack. The Indians were represented by a pair of 101 Scouts, a 1939 Four (ridden by Max Bubeck who hosted the event), and a plethora of Chiefs ranging from 1938 to 1953. The Harleys were there in force with a 1926 JD, a 1935 DL, a 1936 VLH, two 1939 WLDD and a 1965 Electra-Glide. On Monday , October 4th, riders began arriving at the Furnace Creek Ranch. Folks checked into their rooms, had dinner and used the swimming pool, which was a very comfortable 85 degrees. There was a rider's meeting held at Max's room around 8:30 pm. Tuesday morning about 9 am, we assembled at the Twenty Mule Team Wagon in front of the hotel to begin a day of touring. Our first stop was at the old Harmony Borax Works. From there we rode out to Scotty's Castle. This is a huge mansion, built as a vacation home in the late 1920's by the wealthy Chicago insurance magnate, Albert Johnson and his wife Bessie. There is a wonderful story as to why the house is called Scotty's Castle. Park Rangers in period clothing present tours of the Castle each day. There is supposed to be gasoline available at the Castle, but for some reason there was no fuel that day. The round trip was going to be 115 miles. It was apparent that some of the bikes were going to be in trouble on the way back to the hotel. Fortunately the run is accompanied by a poop-out truck. Also, Max returned to the hotel and got a pickup truck, about 20 gallons of gas and set about refueling riders on the side of the road. Our last stop of the day was at the Ubehebe Crater. This is a huge crater formed by volcanic heat coming in contact with underground water. Steam was formed, and the resulting explosion blew a hole in the ground you have to see to believe. After that it was back to the hotel for dinner, bench racing, lie swapping, and swimming. Wednesday morning we assembled and left for the Golden Canyon. This is a photo of tour leader Max Bubeck and your author Gary Smalz at the entrance to the canyon. A few more miles down the road and we were at the Devil's Golf Course. The Golf Course is an unusual formation of salt and mud. Next stop was Badwater, the lowest point in the continental United States. 282 feet below sea level to be exact. It was time for roadside repairs. This 1953 Chief had been acting up all day, so Harley dealer , Dale Walksler stepped in and repaired the carburetor. Dale also operates the Wheels Through Time Museum in Mt. Vernon, Illinois. Death Valley is a tourist destination for many Europeans. While at Badwater, this French tourist whipped out a buckskin fringe jacket and hopped on one of the bikes for an impromptu photo session. INDIAN FILE 41 SPRING / SUMMER 2000 6 13th Annual Death Valley Run 1999 cont. We left Badwater and circled through Artist's Drive on our return to the hotel for our lunch break. Along the way we stopped at Artist's Palette to look at the vivid shades of mineral pigments which colored these volcanic deposits. During the lunch break Micheal Breeding, a well known Indian parts reproducer, showed off his new Sterling Siren. Michael makes great parts and his catalogue is available on-line. He also brought a very rare souvenir Hatchet from the 1948 Indian Dealer's Convention held in Washington DC, which was autographed by Ralph Rogers and other Indian notables. At 1:30 pm we left for Zabriski Point We then rode through 20 Mule Team Canyon en route to Dante's View. The Canyon trip is on a single lane dirt road, and the scenery is fantastic. When back on the pavement we made the steep climb to Dante's View. From the vantage point at top you can see the a huge portion of Death Valley. The trip back to the hotel was via a "coasting contest" down the Dante's View grade. It was allot of fun. When we arrived at the hotel everyone got cleaned up to prepare for the Awards Banquet B-B-Q, which was held at the 19th Hole of the golf course. A recap for Wednesday had us riding a total of 95 miles round trip. We went from 282 feet below sea level at Badwater to 5475 feet above sea level at Dante's View. All in all, it was quite a day. Before the B-B-Q I snapped a few photos of some participants. After everyone finished eating a great B-B-Q, it was time for the awards. Every participant won a plaque for something. Max made the presentations and the run was officially over. Some folks left that night, others headed to the swimming pool, while others just headed for bed. When all was said and done, it was a great run which I would recommend. The trip was not over for me though. (See next page) In this photo (left to right) is Panther sidehack rider Jeff Folin, Max Bubeck and Indian motor builder Doug Burnett behind his 1944 civilian Chief with Vard forks. INDIAN FILE 41 SPRING / SUMMER 2000 7 13th Annual Death Valley Run 1999 cont. Part 2 "The Road to Del Mar" When we left Death Valley Thursday morning, we headed Southeast towards Nevada. Death Valley is very close to the Nevada border and we ended up in the town of Pahrump, where we visited a few casinos and spent the night. Friday morning we got up and took off for Southern California. Our first stop was Riverside, home of Kiwi Indian. Steve was minding the store and was kind enough to show us around. The first item of interest was this unrestored Model B Eliason Motor Toboggan, which was manufactured in the 1940s with an Indian Scout engine. Another unusual item parked in a corner of the shop was this very nice Silver Arrow motor boat motor. Steve was very hospitable, and even gave me one of their in-tank oil filters for Chiefs and Scouts to try out. The filter seems like a real nice item. We left that shop and a short drive to Perris brought us to Starklite Indian Cycles. The first thing we came upon was Gary Stark giving a bath to the new Overhead Valve Conversion Indian Chief. He later let me take this machine for a test drive and all I can say is "WOW, that thing is fast". Bob Stark was there and was kind enough to take me on a guided tour if their museum. This building is crammed full of Indian machinery. Bob also showed us a custom 600cc Model 741, in a 1936 frame with a Warrior front end. There are two similar bikes in the museum, and visitors often borrow them to ride around the area. They are Indian two strokes from the 1970s. Also Floyd Clymer's one-of-a-kind prototype 1967 Indian Papoose Electric cycle is on display. You can see an Enfield Indian, a Three Wheel Indian Scout and eight identically race prepped Indian 149 Arrows that are bored out to 250cc. Tucked away in a corner of the museum is an Indian motorcycle merry-go-round ride and an Indian boat motor. Upstairs in the attic I came across motorcycle skis. I believe they were designed for the 149 Arrow and 249 Scout and Warrior cycles around 1950. The last bike we saw before leaving was this alcohol burning, overhead valve racer from the 1920s. There are more photos of this very interesting machine on the Starkite Home Page. We said our good byes and left as it was getting late and we had to get to San Diego that night. We stayed in San Diego Friday night and arose early for the short drive to Del Mar. This event is held at the famous race track. There was an indoor swap meet for parts, new motorcycle manufacturer booths, vendors galore, a bikes for sale area, and a fabulous Concours de Elegance. From the "bikes for sale" area a Crocker for about $70K. An Indian / Vellocette in the Concours. Also there was Wild Bill Gelbke's Road Dog. This machine is 17 feet long and weighs 3280 pounds. A fitting end for a great vacation. Gary Smalz www.sierratel.com/dishtv/cards.html Check out Gary’s website for lots more interesting information. (Thanks Gary.

After 6+ months of looking daily and researching chiefs for sale on the WWW, all in various stages of disrepute, I purchased this one via the Internet which was located in Medusa New York, in May 1999. John, the previous owner for 38 yrs called her 'Mother' and was naturally, very sentimental about giving her up, Before John, one other N.Y owner, and originally the New York Police Dept, (then PDNYC). While this is not officially confirmed I have based it on the following, many of the late chiefs were destined for the Police markets, it had white police hand grips, a max hand on the speedo, both rear fender cutout's for the heel actuated siren, front fender had the two holes for the precinct plates, the battery tray is larger to compensate for a larger generator & battery combo. The late '51 rear wheel corbin speedo read 28,491 mi on delivery. I received it Aug 1999 after missing the first boat by just 1 day and delaying by a further 6 weeks!. The call I had been waiting 6 months for came and I dropped everything to go down to the Port. I have to say, when I finally cracked open the well built container, I was very disappointed, actually somewhat shocked. It was very run down and rat looking, nothing like it looked in the 6 photos which, along with numerous emails was all I had to make a purchase decision. Try to remember photos almost always show the subject in much better light than it really is, if someday your in the same predicament, for instance chrome in the pictures can be just silver tape!. INDIAN FILE 41 SPRING / SUMMER 2000 15 Blackhawk Roadmaster Chief cont. Still it would take more than cosmetics to ruin the high of this day. Once rolling on terrafirma again, I just parked it up and walked around it for 1/2 hr, watched with "WHAT!, you paid that for this.." looks from three of my mates. O.K off with the leather (later it would take a gallon of Neatsfoot oil to soften), and on with the engine degreaser which I let sit for another 1/2 hr. While waiting minutes for the degreaser to penetrate decades, I started looking a little closer, mentally armed with many-a-fact I had memorized while waiting for delivery ...spouting aloud... that's the wrong front crashbar - its a scout one, hey it's the wrong year carb and that's not an Autolite coil, damn that's a 46 speedo, a Jawa horn, a Bosch Generator... Still it would take more than a few incorrect parts to ruin the high of this day. Out with the water blaster and I blasted the last 30 yrs of grime from the bike, it didn't look much the better for it but I sure felt better, sort of like I had blasted John, the prev owner from the bike as well and it really was mine now!. I dried it with the air compressor and heat gun and generously sprayed it with CRC. ( I don't use WD40, this absorbs moisture and will go milky with time). After routine maintenance like renewing oil's and fuel's, checking timing, new spark plugs and cleaning points I got it running. "It's alive...its alive", I cried, now I had completely forgotten about its faults!. Then after several other adjustments she was ridden 150mi or so. After making the decision early, after viewing many true baskets, to buy a mostly complete, mostly original ride, I had initially hoped to just maintain her and keep that character of a riders bike. After spending a week detailing and cleaning it, much of which involved rubbing aluminum foil into the rampant rust covered chrome (this works a charm, try it!) , it wasn't to be, I found myself artificially aging, matting back painted bits, stuff I had worked on, just to blend with the bike. It was beginning to look like a half-assed restoration, still I persevered until one afternoon I accidentally spilled acetone on the tanks which immediately went opaque white, this the final straw, the nail, and it spurred on this full nuts and bolts, ground up restoration which was started in Oct 1999 and was just recently completed Feb 2000. This represents a four month labor of love restoration, but very intense, i.e. fulltime, most days, nights, and weekends. The objective of the rebuild was to preserve originality (remember this bike was complete and mostly original already) while incorporating any improvements that would go largely unnoticed by casual observation. Fortunately the IORNZ Rally Feb 18-20 provided a deadline which gave me much motivation during the late hours out in the workshop. Doing the tedious preparation work, like leaning into the wire wheel on several hundred fasteners and the likes, while I glanced at the space where my mount once was, my heart sank, I felt as it had been stolen from me!. I also wanted and tried, though somewhat without success, to do the restoration entirely myself, or at least have complete control of it. I mostly sought advice and options before proceeding but any tasks I had to farm out, was on the condition that I could be there and wanted be fully informed as to what was happening and why. In most cases I was allowed to help with the work. I remember the day passing quickly in the paint shop after paint stripping as I dremmeled (this is the best tool I had for this restoration - simply a must have) away the frame casting marks, bronze speltering splashes etc before blasting and priming it all on there shop site before the painters laid down the final coat(s). Over restoration?, maybe, but this is my mount and I pride myself on attention to detail and am satisfied with nothing less than perfection, I believe this is the single biggest reason for the result. I am not in the trade or even the industry so I hope this provides motivation for other d.i.y's who are tentative about doing the restoration yourself, believe in yourself, use this medium to ask questions, use the experience of the multitude of regular contributors and resources out here and you CAN do it yourself. INDIAN FILE 41 SPRING / SUMMER 2000 16 Blackhawk Roadmaster Chief cont. What's been done?, well actually a full ground up nuts and bolts restoration with everything taken apart as far as it can go and all back to bare metal, all sheet metal including tanks (usual probs) were immersion dipped then metal finished (outwork), i.e. no body filler, plastic or otherwise used. Upon stripping down the running gear and inspecting , I found the cam gear to be in excellent condition with only reprofiling and linishing of surfaces necessary and replacement of two roller rivets. I measured the cams and found them to be bonneville and followers standard, but wait, the lifters should have been bonne also and must have been swapped out at some stage (unscrupulous dealer maybe!?). Hoping this was a sign of the state of the rest of the motor, I continued pulling it down...Alas it wasn't to be... Below, the crank pin and drive pin needed replacing, more from deep pitting from dry rollers during it's long periods of sitting, rather than wear, a crank thrust washer was split in two, (incidentally the new crankpin required .001" machining off its taper). Installed .003" over big end races and new undersized rollers and new bearing cages etc (drive and pinion cages are same as 741 which I had plenty NOS). Conrods were deburred, polished, magnafluxed, straightened and sent away to be shot-peened.. Crank balanced to 65% +/- 1%. I believe I was the first to crack these cases open since it rolled out of Springfield. I measured .008 or so cylinder wear in the jugs thrust surfaces and managed to have bored out to just .010 over, incidentally the reconditioner (I use this term lightly) broke the top fin off the rear jug while pushing out the old guides, but first tried to tell me it came off in his hands, no kahuna's, so consequently they did not receive any payment.; It's well repaired and impossible to detect now painted...but still!.. Previous to this mishap I removed the Chevy 305 (or 327) inlet valves and the' Made in England' heavily domed exhaust valves of unknown make. It also had solid skirt Robbins pistons of std 3.246" dia which had broken lands between ring grooves, I don't know if these pistons are OEM?, I think they were used in fours?, but the bore has never been sleeved, so why are they there, what happened to the originals?. Fitted new .010" over pistons, rings & pins, (JCC T-slot), valve guides, valves (Eaton SS), and new dual bonne springs, again much attention to porting and polishing given (with poss some drawbacks, more on that below). The excellent hi temp silicon impregnated stainless steel core James Gaskets have been used exclusively during re-assembly, I won't use anything but now. Further protection is provided by magnetic drain plugs all round, large magnet in the bottom of the oil tank and the use of internal oil filter inside on the return line. I removed the notorious feed check ball from the pump, reseated the return ball in its seat and have no wet sumping probs and big piece of mind. The gears in the pump were near perfect. After replacing the distributor sleeve in the pump, I started on the distributor and carb rebuilds with the usual throttle shaft and dissy shaft bushes being replaced. INDIAN FILE 41 SPRING / SUMMER 2000 17 Blackhawk Roadmaster Chief cont. The left crank case, inner primary cover and alum oil pump required minor welding repairs for hairline fractures, then everything was media blasted with a mica/alum dust mix then hand polished with 3M ScotchBrite pads and CRC, actually I have never seen a better finish. The cylinders were phosphate treated (POR Metal- Ready) and painted with POR Engine Enamel and baked for several hours. POR-15 tank sealant was also used in the now sound tanks with so far great results. As I tackled the gearbox, starting with two new semi-sealed bearings I also separated the primary and added '52-'53 seals to the hubs and sealed the connecting galleries. After having a countershaft bushing made to replace the one that had been spinning in the case and correcting the cluster gear end float with thrust washers, I found a near mint slider gear I had in stock and replaced the old one which showed signs of the case hardening almost gone. The primary chain was so stretched and at the end of it's adjustment, it was starting to gouge away at the cases, I don't believe it was the original or correct chain as it had connecting links, off which the clips had long since vanished!. All fiber clutch discs were then slotted and drilled, an extra 1/16 disc added to the stack and the gearbox is using 80W/90 and the clutch, ATF. Result is a very much improved drive and gear train, no more 1st gear grating, slipping or chattering on this baby!. I replaced the chain with a heavy duty (630) O-ring chain and re-routed the cam breather away in an effort to keep the whitewalls, well, White!. Wheels and hubs, front forks and steering head all rebuilt with new bushes, and improved seals, sealed bearings, new rollers and felts etc.UNF & UNC drum studs had been interchanged between front and back drums resulting in the galling of threads and not so tight drum/hub fits that had already sheared off two studs on the rear. These I corrected with keen-serts (like heli-coils with tangs you drive down). Hubs and drums then blasted and prepared for powder coating after softer modern linings were bonded to the shoes and radiused to the newly machined drums. Wow, now I actually have brakes!. One rim was re-plated, one replaced because of depth of rusting, and spokes and nipples replaced with all SS sets. I laced the wheels myself but had the hub offsets and truing done professionally. Paint and Plating, hard to easily re-plate parts like pushrod covers, head bolts, front engine mounts etc were cad plated and then heat treated against hydrogen embrittlement, but almost all small parts and fasteners were Zinc plated (silver chromate). Some de-plating was done on parts that were chrome plated when they should have been painted and all parts that should be chrome, re-plated with triple pass process. This being, soft nickel, hard nickel, then chrome, (no copper). The plater's did not treasure these 50yr parts as much as I did and several needed re-done as some come back with dents in them even, and others were over polished and distorted. INDIAN FILE 41 SPRING / SUMMER 2000 18 Blackhawk Roadmaster Chief cont. My worst experience was with the electroplaters, in fact the fork dust covers have been put out of round by heavy handed buffers to the extent they are removing paint on the fork tubes better than a paint scraper. I think beveling the edge off the covers will relieve. Initially I was going to powder coat the frame and larger castings, but due to the amount of oil in the frame this was ruled out (seems the oil tank breather was routed into the down tubes in the Blackhawks?). We tried to bake it out for a day but it just kept on flowing out. It was finally painted (jet black) 2k 2-pac and baked. The finish is all you could hope for, deep, glossy and very black, and this could never be matched by powder coating. All the other major sheet metal was also 2k 2-pac & baked (this time midnight black but with clear coat). Unintentionally we got a very subtle white pearl in the finish, still don't know where it came from but its barely noticeably amongst the dust that new black paint prides itself it in attracting and showing up so well. The finish is also near perfect but only achieved by weeks and weeks of fastidious preparation.... Pity that the frame mounted horn has already made a mess of it on the front fender on the rare occasions it has bottomed out!. Mind you this one's a rider anyway but I'll touch it up this Winter. To-date (since completion 17 Feb) it has done 460mi with no pipe discoloration or so much as an oil leak so far, however it does have a big flat spot under acceleration (3050mi) which I have put down to having the inlet manifold and passages too damn smooth and thereby loosing some turbulence effect for fuel/air mix. I hope to remedy by putting the old nozzle and venturi back in it (I had prev kitted it out for bonne specs), and/or Mig welding some tit's or humps or something inside the inlet manifold 'vee'. Either way I'll let you know what happens, but in the meantime it's tolerable and even has the effect of acting as kind of a governor!. Update 23 Feb 2000 Tonight I have just returned from a road test after changing the bonne nozzle and venturi back to std set and the difference was immediate, no more latency or flat spots, no more hesitation and back firing under throttle load, and the needles now find the window between to rich and too lean, previously it was hard too know where the too rich setting was. So now I’m very happy, the bike runs as good as it looks! - Moral of the story, bigger is not better, though interestingly enough that bone combination worked well prior to the rebuild and porting. Some 700mi completed now. “I don't know what was more stressful or heartbreaking, it being completely apart, or partially complete” G.C 02/2000 By Greg Coney Indian Owners Register of New Zealand (IORNZ) INDIAN FILE 41 SPRING / SUMMER 2000 19 Indian Owners Register of New Zealand (IORNZ) 9th Annual Redskin Rally - Feb 18-20 2000 Tahunanui, Nelson, South Island, New Zealand By Greg Cooney I left the capital at 1pm on Fri 18th on my just, and I mean 'just' restored '51 Chief . The day was gray, overcast and basically bleak, very windy and just starting to rain. As I had only 40mi on the motor and had just sorted the heat range of plugs after trying 3 sets the same morning I was feeling a little apprehensive. The 3 hour crossing between the islands on the Interislander Ferry, the 'Aratira', was very rough and many a green hued face was looking into the supplied plastic bags. I was 'green' also but more from worry about the 20 or so 'other' bikes that might 'domino' into mine if the owners didn't take the same amount of care in tying their rides down. Off the drunk and disorderly Ferry at last, and about to start the hour and a half journey to Nelson, which because I was just running in, I thought would take over 2 hours.... But as fate would have it, it would turn out to take some 3 hours to complete. The 351 was running pretty well, the scenery was beautiful and the roads well maintained and remarkably free from traffic - a definite benefit of South Island touring That was, until the bottom of Rai Valley, where it started running very roughly and firing on one or the other cylinder, smelling very rich etc due to a very weak spark. My first thought ''damn wish it was magneto'! From the onset I knew it wasn't charging the battery but I was confident I could make it on a full charge, and normally would have, however I didn't count on the brake light switch getting stuck on and draining it continually!. It wouldn't kick start but I crashed it down the hill and managed another 10-15km (uphill) before dark (and guilt, only 100mi for break in before this abuse) set in and I had to get towed 7 km from the outskirts of Nelson. (I have since converted to 12 volts) I was exhausted from the nights activities and just retired to my unit to change the oil and re-charge both myself and my ailing battery. The next morning, I awoke to the sound of that venerable v-twin note, the unmistakable Indian din, the popping, crackling, and gunning of Indians all around me. I quickly rubbed it down (the bike that is!) and hit the road to join up with other owners and friends who had covered epic distances to converge in Nelson for the annual meet. Some 60 machines turned out this rally (next year, the anniversary, we hope to have 100+), and the weather held up for a fine day. After a brief for the day's upcoming memorial ride and activities we mounted up and headed convoy style through Brightwater, Waimea, Redwood Valley, Motueka and into Mapua for lunch and let the tail end charlie's and older bikes catch up. At Mapua we had a BBQ lunch washed down with a few ale's from the local tavern, and then posed for a club photo outside the fire house. One casualty on the way, a 741 with the throttle sticking open, fortunately both went down on lawn and neither suffered much. INDIAN FILE 41 SPRING / SUMMER 2000 20 Indian Owners Register of New Zealand (IORNZ) 9th Annual Redskin Rally - Feb 18-20 2000 cont. A few more ale's and then an axe throwing competition (great mix huh!) in which I came 2nd, having to split grass against the eventual winner by throw-off, IORNZ editor, Barry Franklin. We mounted up and left to visit Mr Duncan Rutherford's private classic vehicle collection at an apple packing factory half an hour or so away. This consists of some 300 vehicles crammed nose-to-tail in sheds throughout the district. Of the sheds we had access to, they were mostly original, rare and well maintained down to logs such as when the battery was last charged and motor run etc. All cared for by Duncan who is in his mid eighties, never married, with no siblings. His collection was diverse but being a Ford enthusiast I did notice a distinct lack of this marquee, I think I found only one. Here, hidden conspicuously in iron sheds and covered in dust, were Cabriolet Studebaker's, Hudson's, Borgward's, supercharged Graham's, Buick's, Massaratti's, Rolls Royce's, Vanguard's, you name it. It was a few hours very well spent, but alas, despite much looking, no Indians were discovered hiding in any of them! We eventually stopped drooling, gave up on the idea he was going to give us one each, and dragged ourselves away to make our way back to camp. A clean up and rest up for the evenings festivities was in order. The evening consisted of many drinks, an AGM, the prize giving and lots of good company and lighthearted bullshit. ( thanks to all who voted for me, resulting in the coveted Riders/Peoples choice award as well as best Chief) The rest of the evening was spent in heapum pow-wow with the tribe while consuming muchum tonic ( some of which was bootlegged on a reservation and smuggled in for our enjoyment!). It was still in full swing when I left, and some forty minutes later I found my unit which should have taken 2 minutes if I had left in the right direction!. Sunday after breakfast, for those who could stomach it, everyone slowly departed. I stayed an extra day to visit a sister nearby, and had a good trip back both on the road and on the seas, Monday. Most of the bikes were 741's, mostly, civilianized with fewer military and some rats. Together with a sprinkling of Chiefs '28-'51, a '19-'20 Powerplus or two, a Sport Scout, the single, two choppers, a couple of 101's, several std scouts and a military 841, it was a sight to behold. Earliest ridden machine 1910 Hendee Single, a little sweetheart, and the Latest ridden machine, my '51 Blackhawk. A big thanks to David and Debbie, the organizers who made it all happen, I for one, and I'm sure everyone else, had a great weekend.
