Almost 300 miles today. The sun hid behind the clouds keeping the temperature low. Never broke 55 degrees. On the outskirts of civilization, the Tower Cafe serves me the chili and coffee while the waitress tells us stories of her motorcycle and moose experiences. We blast off. Still headed north. 20 miles from the Canadian border without passports gives us good reason to come again. Headed south through the twists and turns along route 1. Plenty of miles left with no reason to stop in sight. More to come – the chopper blog.

I used to work at a motorcycle junkyard on the east coast. The yard was nce an old hatchery. Anyone who has any idea what working on a hatchery farm will tell you that chicken sh*t is one of the most foul smells imaginable. Every summer, the sun would beat own on the tin-roof coops and warm that familiar smell. I was in one of the old office building going through boxes of parts. I found this picture at the bottom of a box marked “Senior.” I remember looking at the picture and thinking, “that’s a keeper.” It’s now in a little frame in the shop just above one of my antique presses.

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.

We’ve received word on a few motorcycle events coming up this summer here in the twin cities. Speed Club is excited to announce that we are working on being a sponsor at a few of them! We’re also hard at work trying to get products in and onto the site as well as having some cheap T-Shirts made up. Check back often for updates on all Minneapolis and St Paul summer time motorcycle madness. We’ll be posting updates to the chopper blog regularly and as soon as we get some products in we’ll kick on the shopping cart. Don’t forget – we’ve got some free stickers left. Email us your mailing address and we’ll toss some into the mailbox for you.
– over and out.

As with all swap meets, one mans trash is another mans treasure. More pics from the 2010 Donnie Smith Motorcycle show. Lots of great parts for that bobber project or chopper project you cant seem to finish. Found a great Harley Servi-Car frame pictured below along with a twisted little snap shot of the sea of parts claiming most of the floor space. Dig it. More to come from the chopper blog.
