Yamaha – Sold

Dude came by last night with cash. We loaded up the XS and it’s off to it’s new home in Iowa. Hopefully I’ll see that thing again sometime. Been a damn good bike to me but when it’s time to go, it’s time to go. On to bigger and better builds.

Does the Pope wear a Funny Hat?

Been holding out for a warmer day so I could sneak out to the garage and knock out my popes hat sissy bar. Finally decided not to let the Minnesota weather get between me and my welding. Put the kid down for a nap and got to it. Just needs a little touch up with the grinder and the Yammy is out of here. If you’re looking for an XS650 chopper that runs like a rapped date – hit me up. Everything was gone over this winter and it will officially be for sale sometime in the next week or so. Check craigslist, xs650chopper.com, egay, etc, etc.

dig it.

Speed Club in Hayward

Speed Club in Hayward. Sounds like you twin cities folk got a little rain? Sorry we missed it. We were up north in Hayward WI with the SC gang for a little trail time on the banshee. That thing never fails to push my limits. RL brought out his new EX for its official “breaking in.” Talk about one dependable machine. Never a moment of problem and hardly 2 gallons of gas in 6 hours!  It was a good weekend. We even rolled in a little time at the casino AND a made the ritualistic pilgrimage to the Hayward Ballet.

Speed Club Garage Welcomes ~ “Blue”

Went out last night with Druncle and picked up this monster; a 2000 Yamaha Banshee. For all my 2 wheeled interest, I’m an ATV man when it comes to spring/summer powersports. In case you’ve been living under a rock, these Banshee’s are KILLERS! With a 350cc twin, water cooled 2-stroke motor, aftermarket aluminum head and FMF pipe, this thing cranks out about 45HP making it the fastest-accelerating two-stroke engine ever produced. Not bad for weighing in at only 386lbs. It’s no chopper or bobber but it is crazy fast, good old-fashioned Minnesota fun !

Helmets – We Better Get the Helmets.

Helmets – We Better Get the Helmets ~ Man or Astroman?

Here’s a quick shot of an ever growing helmet collection. Helmets are a lot like skateboard decks or something. Each one is its own piece of art. We’ve got a little of everything here. There’s a metallic green BiltwellINC bomber along with the ever popular Canadian flag helmet labeled “Ellen Bourdan.” There’s a british rollerderby lid, an old black Yamaha open face Team racing and the good old Yamaha Blue MX helmet for poundin the midwest trails. Dig it.
