Hi, My name is David Stephenson and Thanks for visiting IndianDirtBike.com. This is my second web site. My first one was the Indian Mini Mini Registry, which is now incorporated into this new site. Ive had a 1970s Indian since 1976 when I got a used rear kick MM5A. As a matter of fact I still have this minibike and another one just like it that I acquired a year or so ago. Around three or four years ago I decided to restore my mini that had sat in the garage since the early 1980s needing electrical parts. I tried all the local motorcycle shops like most of you probably have and got the crazy looks and "I dont have a clue where you can get parts for those Indians" If they remembered Indians at all. So I started running an ad in the local trader paper looking for Indians and parts. After about six months I finally got a call and a day or so later I was the owner of a run down front kick MM5A. I was planning on using it for parts but the more I looked at it, I decided I would fix it up to. I started doing the Ebay thing around then and acquired some more parts and motorcycles and joined the 1970 Indian Motorcycle Group on Yahoo, which is a good source for information on the different models. Also around this time I built my Indian web site The Indian Mini Mini Registry to help decipher the serial number codes from those bikes. I started buying and selling and trading parts through that web site. After about a year of that I met a man that had a bunch of parts for the 1970s Indians left over from when he bought an Indian distributor out in the late 70s. After talking to him for a week or so I bought all of his parts for the 50cc bikes. This was in July of 2001. I added them to my web site and started selling some of the duplicates off that I didnt need for my Indians. Ive got seven or eight right now, along with a couple of other makes. I kept getting emails from people that wanted parts for the bigger dirt bikes so I decided if I ever got a chance I would try to acquire some parts for them to broaden my inventory so to speak. Well in February of 2003 I did that. I bought the Indian parts inventory of the Kat City Italian Motorworks of Houston Texas. I decided with these new parts I needed a new web site that would be easier to find on the Internet than my previous one. So IndianDirtBike.com was created. Thanks for visiting.
