Kung Fu – Tacos – Dice Magazine – Des Moines Iowa

Kung Fu Tap & Taco in Des Moines, Iowa is hosting a little get-together at their place including a taco eating contest, Dice Magazine merchandise, and Heavy-Clothing (shirts/hats. stickers, etc).  I know there are some guys driving out from the Twin Cities so be there this Saturday, May 15. This event is definitely Speed Club approved.

Bearded Lady Motorcycle Freak Show – July 24th 2010

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.

Speed Club Announcement -the Race is ON!

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.

The Hoser Run

The Speed Club gang has been kicking around the idea of incorporating a yearly ride up north into Canada. Round trip from the Twin Cities is about 500 miles. It’s the perfect distance for those guys who, like us, are running maybe 2.5 to 3 gallon peanut tanks. A couple of us are scouting the ride in May to gauge the quality/duration or the route we have in mind. We’ll post more info soon.

First Thursday – Minneapolis Photo-Op!

Imagine nearly 700 people crowded onto the sidewalks of about 4 square blocks. Yup, and we got a “shload” (shit+load) of pics to prove it. There were so many people and bikes out that the cops were intentionally perched at all corners popping people left and right for damn near anything. I’m sure the fuzz made their monthly quota that night. Tons of near stock Harleys and more rice rockets than you could shake a stick at; I still found a few nuggets worth the photo op. Here are some pics.
