Drip, drip, drip....

What's that? A leak? Well, someone leaked photos of the new Kawi H2 monster bike, sans body work, though.

Take a peek here:

This just in from Central Command, part 2....

Another guy in our riding band of merry brothers hit a milestone: Mark just clocked 70,000 on his BMW. For all you conspiracy theory types, here is your proof: a photo.

This post Big Foot approved.

This just in from Central Command in Toledo, Ohio.....

Tim's bike just rolled 55,555 miles. Of course he hasn't spotted the oil leak underneath yet.

The keg has been ordered.....

and is on reserve for the 27th annual Red Wing Ironworks Motorbike Club's Octoberfest/Big Burn, set for Oct. 11. As an FYI, I will pick up the keg around 1 p.m. on the 11th, which coincidentally is the day of the brewery's monthly tour and beer tasting. Imagine that.

Ding-dong, the wicked witch, the wicked witch, the wicked witch is dead.

DMG finally gives up it's ruinous reign of sanctioning motorcycling road racing in the United States. Will someone turn the lights back on? Will we see a return to racing prominence stateside? Will we see talent being developed? Will we see Superbike racing being relevant again? Bet yer ass, because Wayne Rainey is involved in the new sanctioning body taking over. For details, go here:

Cycle World visits Red Wing.

The October 2014 issues of Cycle World features an article (page 18) on the new Indian Roadmaster  motorcycle. Big deal, you say; we're sport touring types around here.  Scoff all ye want, but the article makes mention of riding the bike through Red Wing and includes a picture of the bike in front of our historic clubhouse (ark ark ark ark...), the Ironworks building along the water front. Look closely and you'll see Red Wing's famous flower baskets and the St. James in the background. There is also a nice picture of the bike at one of the rest stop/overlooks down river. Though the author of the story, Mark Hoyer (also Editor In Chief of the magazine), contacted none of us for insight to local roads and scenic routes, good beer and or coffee, we'll catch him next time around.


Here is a link to the article as it appears on the Cycle World website, and with more photos: How cool is that?
