Flat Track – Dirt Track – Board Track Racers

Flat Track – Dirt Track & Board Track Racers are a topic of personal interest for me. Here are some photos I’ve collected over the past. I cant remember where most of them came from. Also, a reminder; flattrackmn.org has brought back racing to northern MN. All sorts of classes to run in so get your sh*t together and lets do some racin’.

Roadside – miles from nowhere

Roadside somewhere between Lake Superior and Finland to stretch our legs, snap photos and take a leak. Pictures just don’t seem to capture it. You’re miles from nowhere with days to go. Glancing over your shoulder at the old miner towns. The dance hall windows have all been broken and the only sign of life is the glowing neon “Schmidt’s” hanging from a lamp post. Another sleepy town swallowed up by time.

Another addition to the chopper blog.

Rusty Chop ~ 3 hours in.

So here’s the Rusty Chop about 3 hours into assembly. I was in charge of snapping photos and drinking his beers. I think I did a damn god job myself. The Rusty Chop looks good too. It’s a ’79 xs650 with a kansas customs hardtail, maxis whhitewalls, my custom chopper wiring, and a sporty tank. Unseen is a set of custom made shorty pipes and a prettt heavy duty rear fender. Those whitewalls add just the right touch of bling to this rusty rocket. Check back daily. More chopper blog to come.

Donnie Smith Bike Show Highlights! – 2010

Here are just a few of the hundred+ photos I managed to snag while at the Donnie Smith Bike Show and Swap yesterday morning. I’ll post more soon so be sure to check back. For those of you headed to the show, keep your eye out for the Knucklehead Dragster pictured below. This thing is one amazing machine!

Here’s an ass-load of springers lined up at the swap meet.

Twin Cities Swap Meet Aftermath!

So Speed Club Inc attended last weekends Gringo & Mickey’s Moto Psycho Swap Meet. From an enthusiasts standpoint, the event was a little short on vendors in comparison to the last years. I think it might have been because of Donnie Smith’s Bike show and Swap coming up in 2 weeks. In any event, we did pick up some really sweet junk for a couple projects and I managed to snap some photos for the chopper blog.

I found a great 45″ motor crammed into a milk crate. The guy wanted $1200 beans so I decided to pass. I also bumped into the Heavy-Clothing.com guys with a booth made out of Heavy t-shirts, twisted bars and shovelhead motors.
