When the sun sets on the Twin Cities

Headed out last night to meet up with RL and knock out some ride plans. Ended up hanging indoors waiting for the sun to go down. Eventually it cooled down and we put on some miles, cruised along the mississippi, down grand, up university (almost lost it around 27th where I fishtailed through some loose gravel), and through northeast. RL has a kick ass camera and grabbed a bunch of shots while we held up a Holiday gas station.

What’s 3rd Thursdays?

Great question! It’s a little something the gang at Bluecat Motors recently came up with. It’s a monthly meet similar to first Thursdays where anyone and everyone came stop by the huge shop lot with your scoot, bobber, chopper, cafe racer, vintage, british or any other weird custom contraption you managed to put on the road this year! What a great idea – this winter wonderland could use more reasons to get that bike out for a night. Looks to be pretty cool so definitley come out and share the moto love. DID I MENTION THIRD THURSDAY IS TONIGHT! BlueCat Motors is located at 550 Vandalia Street just off of University in St Paul.

Bearded Lady Motorcycle Freak Show – July 24th 2010

THIS JUST IN! – The Bearded Lady Motorcycle Freak Show will be July 24th at the corner of University and 13th Ave – Minneapolis. This is the 4th year for the Lady. Last years party was one of the best twin cities motorcycle gatherings of the summer. I admit I had a few drinks but I swear I saw Prince ride in on a giant purple lawnmower!? I did see HEAVY there as well as the guys from Blue Cat Motors and even some dudes from out in Monticello (Jordan/Pugs/Daran). Seriously, it’s one of the most eclectic collections of motorcycle mayhem found anywhere in the nation, let alone the Midwest! Tons of great bikes, foxy ladies, music, and most importantly… motorcycles. I’m just gonna come out and say it. If you don’t attend this event… you suck *ss. There is absolutely no excuse for missing out. Speed Club expects to see you all there.
