24 Days till CHOPOUT

Tell your mama. Midwest weather has finally started to break. We’re getting nights in the 50’s and days in the 80’s. Perfect Cycle/Camp weather. Here’s a little video clip put together from way early in the season when me and RL went out to scout a few possible routes. It was like late April/Early May or something. Temp never broke 55 degrees but it was a great time. CHOPOUT 2010 – SEPTEMBER 18TH. Be there. Bring a friend.

Dude looks like a lady.

Dude looks like a lady. Every time I see this pic. Whats with the weird samurai pony tail? I guess it takes all kinds?

Vern’s Triumph Speed Triple

My neighbor Vern’s got this really great Triumph Speed Triple. I’ve always been a sucker for those single sided swing arms and that straight out of the showroom street fighter look. Gotta admit, Triumph motorcycles have got style. Since year one, these bikes have definied cool in so many ways. Snapped this photo out at the bike shop a month back. Just found it in my phone and thought it would make a nice addition to the chopper blog. Dig it.

Track Leathers

Sweating it out on a hot summer day in the track leathers. It’s been real hot around here for the past week. Too hot to do much at all. In fact, I’ve been on the horn for a few days knocking out CHOPOUT plans. Everything’s finally coming together for our little inpromptu northern excursion. Check out the chopper blog over the next week as we post all the ride details.

Neon Lights – Midwest

Neon lights make for great chopper photos.
