Campbellford (In Honour of Charles Indian Day)
“Iron Chief Charlie” Charles W. Mahoney’s “Charlie’s Indian Day” ride met at his shop (known as
the Indian Motorcycle Museum) at 204 Grand Road, Campbellford from 1984-2008 on the first
weekend, in July annually. Charlie, an expert bike mechanic, had a passion for Indian
Motorcycles. He bought his first, a six-year-old Indian inline four-cylinder, in 1935. It is said that,
from that moment on, he lived, breathed, worked, slept and dreamed Indian bikes- even
courting his late wife, Jeanne, from his Indian.
He loved motorcyclists and enjoyed mentoring younger Indian aficionados. The ultimate Indian
enthusiast, he was never too busy to talk about, ride or work on Indian bikes. Charlie presided
over the relaxed annual get-together along Grand Road until his death, at 85, in 2004.
