Stompin’ around out in the Midwest, you cant NOT stumble onto Zac Doom (or as I like to call Heavy Himself) and Heavy-clothing.com. This guy really represents for the Midwest Moto Culture. In fact, he recently made it to cover of Iron Horse Magazine. I’m definitely not the first guy to report on this but I had one of those 1 degree of separation moments this morning when Eric dropped off his bike to get some work done. Eric mentioned knowing Zac to some degree and I realized damn… this dude gets around. With that, I thought fitting to show him a little extra love via the Speed Club Chopper Blog.
Zac,
Congrats on the cover. Much love, respect and appreciation for keeping the midwest Heavy. Hope to see you around this year.
THIS JUST IN! – The Bearded Lady Motorcycle Freak Show will be July 24th at the corner of University and 13th Ave – Minneapolis. This is the 4th year for the Lady. Last years party was one of the best twin cities motorcycle gatherings of the summer. I admit I had a few drinks but I swear I saw Prince ride in on a giant purple lawnmower!? I did see HEAVY there as well as the guys from Blue Cat Motors and even some dudes from out in Monticello (Jordan/Pugs/Daran). Seriously, it’s one of the most eclectic collections of motorcycle mayhem found anywhere in the nation, let alone the Midwest! Tons of great bikes, foxy ladies, music, and most importantly… motorcycles. I’m just gonna come out and say it. If you don’t attend this event… you suck *ss. There is absolutely no excuse for missing out. Speed Club expects to see you all there.
The king of cool, Steve McQueen. Seriously, this dude could make needle point look cool. I was just goofing around Youtube yesterday looking at videos of midwest trails and managed to stumble across this sweet video. I think that’s a Manx kit he’s got on the VW but I’m no Dune Buggy aficionado. Anyways – watch the video, pop some amphetamines and drive fast.
Caught Heavy himself (Zac Doom) at the Bike show last weekend shooting pics for his blog, Heavy-Clothing.com (previously lifeisfuct.com). This guy and is definitely one of the Twin Cities proud few who exudes Midwest chop culture on an hourly basis. If you’re into weapons of the road, LSD, skateboards, choppers, tattoos, or generally anything HEAVY, you’re gonna love his blog. Check it out and give him your money.
Welcome to the chopper blog. I should point out that my personal preference is speed over looks. Not sure where I found these but where ever they came from, I love looking to them for design inspiration. It’s not Midwest but it will certainly do.
