Victories 1924 Veterans’ Sweeping Success over new Imported Indian’s New Zealand Victories in 1924, with the exception of Road Trials, have been registered on machines four and five years old. This proves that there is unequalled engineering and stamina in tljn Indian. D. C. Managh’s INDIAN, on which he won the AUSTRALIAN HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP, at Auckland in 12 mins. 57 secs., is five years old. It has annexed most of the Classic Events since it arrived in this country; outlasting all other racers. George Lambert’s four-year-old INDIAN has started on Brighton Beach, Christchurch, twentysix times from scratch; establishing 24 FASTEST TIMES. This year for the third time in succession it easily carried oft the 20 MILE 1,000 e.c., 20 MILE UNLIMITED and FLYING MILE Beach Championships. Lambert on the same INDIAN also established a new Australasian Mile Record. The distance was covered in 36 2/5 secs —almost 100 miles an hour. Let us review some of the other victories:— KAWERA-TE KTJITI TRIAL: INDIAN won all classes, making a clean sweep, and collecting all special prizes. This is credited with being, the most strenuous trial ever held in New Zealand. AXAROA SOLO TRIAL (Christchurch) : INDIAN* SCOUTS scored first and third. There were only three non-stop runs. Two were made by Indians. AKAROA SIDE-CAR TRIAL -(Christchurch): INDIAN BIG CHIEF, first equal. Sole Agents: Lightband & Wann LTD. New Plymouth, Stratford, Hawera.
