Dave Roper, the first American ever to win an Isle of Man TT, will be riding a restored 580cc Indian TT model v-twin in the 2011 TT. Roper has a lifetime of achievement in vintage racing, including more than 20 AHRMA national championships as well as his win of the 1984 Senior Historic TT on a G50 Matchless. Support the first motorcycle to ever win the Senior TT on the Mountain Course, the only American marque to win at the event and the only American racer to ever win the Senior Historic TT!

Sunday, 5 June, 2011 John Cooper and I removed the gearbox from the Indian once again to remove the two mainshaft gears and the sliding dogs that engage them to try to get them undercut tomorrow to prevent it from jumping out of gear. We also removed the oil tank to determine where it was leaking and re-solder it. Richard turned up some new carb needles to see if we can get it running more consistently. Peter Gagan and Bill Burke arrived today and we had the Team Meeting at dinner to make a plan and assign orders. Ken Richardson, team photographer arrives tomorrow.
