Headed down to Dulono’s last Thursday to check out the bikes and meet up with friends. Tagged along behind Zac Doom (Heavy-Clothing.com), Hans, and the other fellas all the way down Lake Street. Finally officially met Zac in person which was very cool. A good time was had by all. Here’s a few photo highlights. I’ll post a few more later.

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.

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’ve been looking at those new Royal Enfield bikes recently. They are really cut right out of the past in a lot of ways. I dug this shot out of my lions raceway archive and it reminded me that they just don’t make em like they used to. There’s another shot of this bike and rider/mechanic in our header. Some serious hours and engineering in this beast. Note the Bonneville National sticker on the tank corner. I’d love to know what kind of speeds this guy has squeezed out of this thing. Welcome to the chopper blog.
