That’s right folks. Swung by Blue Cat Motors yesterday to drop off a scooter for consignment. While I was there, I grabbed tons of hand bills for lots of great new events coming up this summer here in the Twin Cities. Todays post presents the Minneapolis/St Paul Mods vs Rockers ride which is hosted yearly by Blue Cat Motors. This years “MvR” will be on June 5th, 2010. Bikes meet up at Grumpy’s Northeast. Scoots meet at Psycho Suzie’s North East. Be there by 12:20-1:30 and then g for a short ride ending at the Blue Cat shop. Last year was a bit of a wash out but none-the-less, there was quite a turn out. Be There or Be Square.

Was out riding through Minneapolis the other night. Managed to snap a pic or two of my world flashing by. Sun was down and the street lights were guiding me home. Nothing like blasting down the highway with no one crowding you. I’m getting pumped for our ride into Canada coming up this month.

Yeah – for all my love for bikes, I’ve always had a soft spot for the occasional Vespa. I bought my first maybe 8 years ago from a naval yard. It was a 1971 Sprint 160 if I remember correctly. It was a pretty slick little scooter. Other than some bad points, that thing would rip up and down the club house parking lot. I found this one a couple years back when I was still in Boston. Everything was there but the body needed some serious work. I’ve probably spent the better half of this winter bang out all the dents and preping for paint. Here’s a shot of all the body work almost ready for paint.

I used to work at a motorcycle junkyard on the east coast. The yard was nce an old hatchery. Anyone who has any idea what working on a hatchery farm will tell you that chicken sh*t is one of the most foul smells imaginable. Every summer, the sun would beat own on the tin-roof coops and warm that familiar smell. I was in one of the old office building going through boxes of parts. I found this picture at the bottom of a box marked “Senior.” I remember looking at the picture and thinking, “that’s a keeper.” It’s now in a little frame in the shop just above one of my antique presses.
