2000+ miles over the course of a week.
Another 600 miles over the last 2 days.
I’ve earned one gratuitous selfie so here it is.

Scramblin’ Rose

Congrats to Taylor! We finished her bike up last week and she took it home on Saturday morning. This little scrambler went from dead on arrival to a 1-kick zinger. I do love my Harleys but ripping one of these little Hondas through city traffic is a lot of fun. If you’re in the Twin Cities and need a hand with your Japanese or Harley motorcycle, give a ring.

WILD RIDE 3

This year was the best yet. We’re pretty lucky in MN to have a solid group of guys who are down to ride blindly across the midwest. There’s no golden ticket at the end of the rainbow here. No free Knuckleheads will ever be given away. No “sponsors” will be setting up booths. There are no tickets sold out. There is NO chance at instagram infamy at any time.

Winter Storage

Yeah – it’s a little early (even by Minnesota standards) but believe it or not, spaces are already being napped up. Space is limited so if you’re in the Twin Cities and want you bike stored get at me sooner rather than later. Here are the details: $35 a month gets you one spot in the lock up located in St Paul just off University Ave. Storage is climate controlled and secure. Pay up front or pay/month.

Any questions or to book your spot, jut email me at info@speedclubinc.com.

93″ of LOVE – PART 1

There are a lot of ways to build up a good shovel. I’ve had 74s and 80s but Im now working on a fresh 93″. The wheels, cylinders, cam, and pistons will kill you if you don’t try and shop smart. Retail, Sidewinder kits are gonna beat you over the head at anything from $1500-$2000. Lots of good things can be said for S&S products but that’s not really the point of this series. The point is to look at some math and figure out how to go the distance without going broke.

Here’s a pic of my pile of parts to build up my 93″ motor. Stock cases and heads will work just fine with a little trim and shim work. A set of used T&O wheels are at the heart and soul of this thing. If you haven’t looked into it here’s the deal with T&O. T&O stuff is killer and they’ve been around since the beginning. They’re experience and knowledge are in their products and the prices are very reasonable.

That said, these wheels were used and I paid used price. They need to be checked carefully and rebalanced but overall, they are in great condition. After a chat with some guys at T&O, I decided I’d go with new Vtwin Cylinders to save some cash over the name brand stuff. The money I saved on the cylinders I turned around and dumped on some really nice forged S&S pistons.

All the stroker parts are present and accounted for. The other parts like the cone, rockers, lifters, oil pump, etc are all on a shelf as well but those are stock parts that anyone can find in abundance. I’ll post more pics as the motor comes together.
