These are the folks we met who cruised all the way down to southern Cali from Vancover Canada! You should have seen it. Old Toyota right-side steering 4 cylinder diesel utility truck pulling a little 10ft air streamer that had apparently been struck with a baseball bat one or twice. These people were about the nicest folk we’d met in the entire trip. They’ve even got a little dirt moto scene going on which revolves around XT500’s. They won best unit Triumph with the mind melter pictured in the rear. Dig those freaked out bars.
I hope to see them again some time. Hopefully we can get them to stop out for the Bearded Lady or Full Tilt party!
CHOPOUT 2010 – presented by SpeedClubINC.com
We’re getting the hell out of town for one last ride for the season on September 18 and 19th. This is a Saturday and Sunday, 300 mile round trip and you’re invited. We’re leaving after breakfast and heading east into WI. Camp out. Next day cruise back west into MN and then south to the Twin Cities. This is a bring-your-own-shit, ride and camp out thing. Contact Speed Club INC for all the ride details including map, camp destination and specifics on the route.
Dont forget your:
phone
sunglasses
jacket
sleeping bag
cash
smokes
gum
extra socks
break down back-up plan
How Much: $10-20/per person, per night for camp site. You get a spot on the grassy knoll next to the second gunman. There’s a lake and toilets and the lodge with grub, beer and AC/Heat depending on the weather. Well worth the minimal cash so don’t be a tight ass.
What to do: Absolutely nothing. There are a couple bars and gas stations for food and drink and there’s always good old Phipps. Make some friends, rest up, share some laughs, shit it in the woods.
Things you should know: The ride is open to anyone with the right attitude. No chase trucks, no banners, no products, no nothing. Just one last little adventure for the season. Food is on you. Yes, there are definitely bears and yes, they will come out looking for that cheese burger wrapper you left in the dirt next to your bike. SO… be smart and try not to get killed. It’s not a race. Have a fun time and enjoy the ride.
Managed to weasel my camera out of my pocket on some of those empty highways to snag some pics. Here are a couple including my ride companion (RL) on his rusty rocket and a couple great point and shoot moment over my bars.
Talk about a fine Triumph. This is the Baron Scrambler. Looks like a nice little dirt tracker. All the right pieces are there and all the junk has been scraped away. He’s running the enduro tires, heavy sprung seat, wide bars, custom tank, and drag pipes all tied together on that hardtail frame with the pre-unit trump motor. I really really like this thing. It reminds me of a T100R I used to have out in Boston. Triumph’s have got that “great lines” factor that you just dont see in a lot of bikes or custom builds these days. A tip of the hat to those chrome fork covers. …very nice.
I got turned on to this band a couple years back all thanks to Chuck Sevast (a.k.a Big Titties Chuck). This is the good shit. These dirt bags make me remember the good old days. Being underage, sneaking into bars with my older friends, sitting with my back to the bar tender so nobody’s the wiser. Getting totally fucked, hitting on someone’s girlfriend, spitting in her boyfriends face, drag-out, knock-down, black out, and waking up in your own piss, kinda fun. I like the Coachwhips and I think you’re gonna like ’em too. Peed Club approved!
