Woke up to a little corn beef and eggs with a side of black coffee and toast. Cruised over to Back to the 50’s car show for some swap meet action. Kind of a dead scene considering it was Sunday. I did see this gem of a Gasser parked somewhere just off the beaten path. I couldnt pass up getting a quick picture.
From there I went home and got out the bike. Took a ride over to the Blind Lizard cycle rally in Minneapolis to catch up with CT. Reinhart came limping in on his Triumph. Points were well beyond useless. Pretty Rick and the Monk happened to be in the crowd and decided to do the Minnesota thing and come over and get his points readjusted. After a little file action and a few swift kicks, the salty dog was up and running on two cylinders again. New points are being installed as I type.
Came home, napped for a hour, ate a sub, went back to bed. All in all – a good fathers day.
All kinds of crazy super flashy stuff at the international bike show. Not really my scene personally but there are always some really great classics at these shows. Here are a couple images that came back from a buddy. A sweet Scout – “Wall-o-Death” style along with a slick little flat tracker and a very cool board track racer.
I was flipping through the channels last night and ran across “The Hard Ride” circa 1971. I remember the last time I saw this movie must have been like 10 years ago. There’s a really funny scene where the dude ties a dirt bike to his sissy bar and straight tows the thing off. It’s your typical strange and almost plot-less biker flick. Feel free to right click the image for the big version. That way you can save it to your computer for a desktop background or something.
Speed Club is in the process of moving to slightly larger digs. Finally, a little winter storage action for the gang. Much thanks to all Speed Club visitors. You purchases are site traffic are helping support the midwest moto scene and we greatly appreciate it. See you all very soon – First Thursday ~ Tonight!
Born Free 2010 – Great video put together featuring some highlights of this years show. To quote Max Schaff of 4Q Conditioning, “Not a lot of chaps, not a lot of baggers, not a lot of doo-rags. Just a good scene; Good people.” enjoy – SC
