Big order came in today from Lowbrow Customs for Reinhart. We sat down for some viet-grub and a dick-load of Trump parts! Brand spankin’ new Amal carbs, shirts, velocity stacks, wiring, and looks like the Lowbrow boys threw in a sweet LB scarf for us frozen midwest folk. We still have a Bird loop hard tail coming in in the next couple weeks. We’ll definitely get some pics of that thing to share. Born Free – look out.
NOTE: Reinhart does not always look this way… he just got a haircut.
I met CT a couple years back at the Bearded Lady Motorcycle Show. To put it to you straight… CT is North East. He’s involved in a little bit of everything. CT was part of the the once mighty Track Stars. He’s a regular fixture at Blue Cat. He runs every year at the Salt Flats and CT is one of the guiding forces behind the Bearded Lady. He runs a lot of bikes and is real big into his vintage Italian and Japanese stuff. Especially his Suzuki 2-stroke triples.
CT spends his winters keeping busy in his garage. A couple cans of Hamms, crank the heater, a few touches here and there on the ratrod and the snow keeps falling. Eventually Bearded Lady plans start up as the snow and ice start to melt.
I asked a little more about how that (cycle show) whole thing got started. CT is always quick to pass off the success to his other partners in crime who lend a very large helping hand. In fact, he’s one of the most humble dudes I’ve ever met. “Truth is” he says, “the whole thing was sorta started out of spite.” Apparently, CT and some friends attended a few vintage Japanese bike show years back and unfortunately, the judges never quite knew how to judge their whips. It started to get pretty obvious that there were a lot of custom classics in the Twin Cities in need of an event where they could get a little appreciation. “Fuck it, I’m gonna start my own show for the kind of bikes that deserve it.”
Years later and here we are. The streets have to be shut down. Vendors and sponsors line up in advance and the permits need to be legit. The Lady has really taken on a life of its own. Everybody… and I mean EVERYBODY attends. See you there this July 23rd. Speed Club will be out with booth overhead and beer in hand as usual. Dig it. Thanks CT.
Saw this pic on Heavy-clothing.com a few weeks back. Shit reminds me of that Butthole Srufers video… “who was in my room last night”. Compare for yourself.
You know you like it. Blue Cheer. A somewhat obscure legend of the 60’s; these dudes took that fuzz face shit to another level. Check ’em out. Rip some of their shit off the internet. It’s well worth it.
Finally got my shovel! Cant believe the day finally came. Once I get done ripping that spike and skull crap off, I think she’ll do just fine. It was covered in garage dust the first time I saw it. Didnt realize until now but she’s got a Hi-4, chrome trans case, S&S Shorty E, and a hand full of other chrome extras that will likely get re-purposed for the build. I gotta say, I’m loving it. Did I mention the plate number is 666? Yeah – for real. I thought I was reading it wrong or some shit. Crazy!
Here’s a pic. I threw a spare wassell tank and solo seat on it. I also swapped over to a different bar for mock up purpose. I got plans to make this thing my Born Free Funky Stick! – Dig it.
