Bearded Lady Stamp of Approval

So it’s officially official. Just checked out the bearded lady motorcycle show site on Tuesday. The Speed Club logo is now posted and linked as a sponsor. Special thanks to CT and the Bearded folk. We’re dragging out a few goodies from the garage and will see everyone there! Speed Club – over and out!

Memorial Day in the Speed Club Garage

Spent a ew hours out in the garage yesterday. Got some sun and painted up the vespa for finishing. I’ve posted a few pics from this scooter before. I’ve had the thing for years and am now FINALLY getting back to it. Truth be told, once I started down a motorcycle path, vintage vespa’s and lambretta just didn’t pack the same punch as they used to. Never the less…

Here it is – the Yellow Submarine in all its sunshiny glory. Visit our spot at the bearded lady motorcycle freak show to check it out in person. Might switch it over to the racing cowls just for the event. See you there. – SC

Speed Club Garage Pics

Sorry for the late post today. Had to visit the dentist. Call me 5 years old if you want to… but I HATE the dentist. Rusty at work. Threading rod for the forward control linkage on Eric’s xs650 chopper project. Things are really coming along. His shift and brake linkage is complete. We just need to space his back wheel, hook up the hydro brake line and check his charging system and he’s squared away for the rest of the summer. We’ll post more stuff to the chopper blog  along the way. Check back.

Two Things That I Love

Two things I love… Bikes and Cars! There’s a guy down my street with a 1950 Chevy coupe. It’s one of those un-restored gem kinda cars. Granted, it sits outside all winter while the tires slowly deflate but come summer, the kid always manages to fire the beast back up for the typical Friday night cruise past Porky’s on University Ave. Anyways, this pic kinda reminds me of the neighbors whip.

I  wouldn’t kick it out of the garage or anything but chrome Triumph’s are a clean freaks nightmare!

Speed Club Garage – Eric’s XS in Minneapolis

Swung by Minneapolis yesterday to visit Eric and to take a look at his XS650 bar hopper. It’s definitely a build in progress and it looks like we’re going to be taking it in at the Speed Club Garage for the next few weeks. There are all sorts of odds and ends to button up but in the end we’ll be looking at one slick little bobber. He’s already set up his 100% CUSTOM FABRICATED hardtail frame including an FX front end w/ 21″ whitewalls and Harley 16″ spoke rear wheel w/ hydro banana caliper. I dont know the neck rake but the thing looks fast just sitting on the kick stand. Not many pics yet but we’ll definitely get some posted as the project progresses. Maybe we’ll snag a little video too? Check back often for more from the Speed Club Garage on the chopper blog.
