Stayed an extra day on the way back in Kansas to visit with the Germans family. Sure enough, they gave us a shotgun and we rode out to the back 40. Everyone was having a blast. Jordan was a real killing machine. He hates those damn morning doves!
I was a little chopped the hell out when we left Cali but 4 days in a van has a way of making you crazy to want to get out a blast off all over again. I have tons of totally amazing pics to share so stay tuned to the chopper blog.

Woke up Sunday with a sore throat and a head cold. Ruined almost all my weekend plans. I noticed a sh*t load of hot rods whipping past the house on the way to the fairgrounds. Turns out the St Paul fairgrounds hosted another car extravaganza on Sunday. I grabbed some coffee for the throat, tossed the boy in the wagon and we walked over (I should mention we live near by the fairgrounds).
What a great score. I found another one of those hard-to-find Harley Sprint tanks which look amazing on almost any chopper or bobber. I also picked up a great red metal flake lid. It was pretty trashed inside but fits like a glove. Tossed everything into the wagon and headed home. Those car swaps are great for bike shopping. Since everyone is looking for car parts, you get the pick of the litter over any and all bike stuff. Dig it.

Here are just a few of the hundred+ photos I managed to snag while at the Donnie Smith Bike Show and Swap yesterday morning. I’ll post more soon so be sure to check back. For those of you headed to the show, keep your eye out for the Knucklehead Dragster pictured below. This thing is one amazing machine! 
Here’s an ass-load of springers lined up at the swap meet.
