Ice Racing or Swap Meet?

What to do when you’re double booked? Damn, I thought the Minnesota winter was supposed to be relatively dead in the winter but here we are trying to decide if we should drag out the Banshee and Hex for a little ATV ice racing or do we drag a bunch of Speed Club gear and parts out to the Swap Meet?  Decisions ~ Decisions.

Dreaming of Summer

I was in rare form that afternoon/evening out at Canterbury Park. It was Grand Nationals and everyone I was supposed to cruise up with totally flaked out on me. In the end I made the trip alone and bumped in to all sorts of folks from HEAVY crew to the Bluecat gang. Had a great time, got a bunch of bury pics, bruised my ribs by taking a photo while walking straight into a steel fence post. Also took a leak near the horse stalls n the way out to mark my territory.

Midwest Shops & Garages

Midwest Shops & Garages Series. A new little feature we’re rolling out this winter. The idea is real simple. If you’re from the Midwest (or anywhere cold for that matter) you know that when the snow falls, the cycles, projects, shops, garages and hide outs are the place to be. We’re gonna visit some friends, check out their digs, and see what projects are in the mix.

No where to go and nothing to do but tear it down and put it back together. The first garage in the series will be coming up soon so be sure to check back.

Bumped into Lucas (Choppahead) at ZuZu.

Poured out of the cab onto Mass ave. We’re here to see John Funkie. Before my eyes was one pretty sweet little trump. I drunk-photoed it and made my way up to the bar at Zu. My buddy Matt was already sharing a pint Lucas. Lucas is the Choppahead dude in their volume 3 video who’s drinking beer of a garage floor. Apparently Lucas and Matt go back a ways. Cool dude. Sweet bike. Lots of beer and some of the best jams in town. Dig it. ~ Speed Club Chopper Blog.

Calm ya Liva! ~ Speed Club is Going to Boston!

That’s right. We got some business and pints to tend to out in Bean town. Packin our bags and hoppin’ a plane to spread the midwest moto love. If there’s one thing I can say for sure after living the for so many years it’s this; Boston is such a great place to visit but I wouldnt want to live there. Truth be told, Boz-stone is the home of the biggest bunch of cop pricks I’ve ever encountered. I got stories of being followed, spit on, and stepped on. I got ticketed more times in one year than I’ve ever received in my entire life!

All that said – Take it from a big stinkin’ Irish f*ck like myself. Boston IS the greatest place on earth to get bombed. Any of you Boston readers want to sell me some parts, shoot me an email and we’ll try to connect.

Pics will be posted to the chopper blog.
