Dave Hinshaw, alias "Indian Dave"
serves as Secretary for Graybeards
Productions, Inc.
Dave 2007 Monark Pass, CO.
At the first Fox Valley Motorcycle Show
in 2006, he served as Head Judge and
is still in charge of the judging team. Each
of our judges has expertise in different
areas, so we have found that by judging
as a team, we are able to judge each
entry to the hightest point level
standing of that motorcycle.
A few photos of some of Dave's bikes.

Dave's judging experience began in 1991
with the Antique Motorcycle Club of America
where he worked with other judges on
Indian Motorcycles. His knowledge of
correct parts for models and years has
helped him determine the authenticity of
restored Indian Motorcycles. Since then
he has also learned to judge other makes
of motorcyles. Dave is still a Field Judge
on Indians from the forties for the club.

Dave's passion for motorcycles started at
a very young age. At 14 he got his first Cushman
motor scooter, and the last couple of years he
has displayed a 1958 Cushman Highlander
at the shows just like the one he had in 1960.
Not only does he enjoy riding almost any kind
of motorcycle, he also has many hours of work
on some of his own restorations. After 48 years
of riding and 38 motorcycles and scooters later
he still enjoys his hobby as he did in the beginning.

As a member of the Masons and the Shriners
Dave and the late Bob Daugherty, who many of
you may remember, formed The Beja Shrine
Temple "Escort Patrol", a unit that performs
in parades on Harley Davidson Ultra Glides.
Dave is very happy that the Fox Valley
Motorcycle Show Board members have
chosen the Shrine Hospitals as their charity.
If any of you would like to know more about the
Shriners, or know a child that could use the care
of the Shrine Hospitals, please contact Dave at
