Speed Club Shirts

Get ’em while they last. We’re trying to raise money to pay for this years Born Free booth. Last year we sponsored the event in spirit. We donated some cash and attended in person but didnt go all-in with the booth and the set up. This year, we are trying to raise the money for both the vendor slot as well as the typical travel expense to get the bikes and booth to the party. Harpoon and Grant put on quite a show. This may be the last year so we are all in! Be the first on your block to have a Speed Club Track Tee. Every shirt comes with some free stickers. Every shirt pays our way just a little farther down the road. Support your local motorcycle blogs. Attend Born Free 4.

HESHER…

Just watched this flick last night. Been waiting for a while to see if it caught on but its still somewhat flying under the “cool” radar which means its still worth watching. Check it out. I think it’s “on demand” right now if you got cable. Otherwise, climb a cable box and stick a turkey carving fork into the comcast box and see if that works.

Let the Work Begin!

Man, it’s not even winter and it looks like lots of folks are already attacking the motor work with the intensity of a thousand suns. I started my shovel rebuild a couple days ago. The jugs are .060 over making my 74″ motor roughly an 80″ motor when complete. Flywheel assembly turned out to be a pile of sh*t but that was all sorted out with Gators help. The bottom end should be done in about a week (The heads are another story.)

Spencer’s Triumph is already under way. Damn – I’m rooting for that guy. He’s got some serious heart. All said and done, he’ll be the triumph man by the time he comes out the other side.

Everyone get ready for that long, hard winter. Swap meets here I come.

Can’t Stop the Swap

It’s was a sh*t day all Sunday but you can’t stop the swap. I did get rid of all my little junk parts but as usual, I spent more than I made. Who cares. I’m not in it to turn a buck – I’m just doin it till my adult film career takes off.

Scored a Super E with new filter and tear drop cover. I also got a cool H1 drag rear wheel. I mostly just wanted the 18″ rim but the drag slick will have a permanent place on my wall of cool. Maybe I’ll post a pic of it here shortly.

 

Minnesota Dragway – Classics

Been looking at getting back to my guilty pleasure. Looking into the Minnesota Dragways and found some old, random memorabilia. Its always kinda cool to look back and find cool pics. It always seems to drive home the history of these race tracks and racers. Enjoy –
