Motorcycles and winter: the perfect combo

Why not? Don't give a damn about college football? Cabin fever? Need to escape the screaming brats who've been cooped up over the holidays and are bored with their Xmas booty already? Well, Bub, have we got a deal for you and here it is; the 2017 I-Cycle Derby in Minneapolis on on New Year's Day. This rally, only for the strong of heart, has been going on for 60 some-odd years. It's going to be a balmy 30-degrees and the sun is supposed to shine.

Merry Christmas, peeps.

Sorry, all the sappy images of fat Santa riding a Harley with a bag of toys and a Christmas tree riding bitch were all emptied out from the Department of Cliches for this holiday season.

Don't panic

It will be 32 degrees by Tuesday. Tonight's 20-below is just a minor blip in the riding season.

Official Walt Ride 2017 announcement

Paul, Jr. is designing this year's ride. No camping; el rancho cheap-o motel is the way we're going. We're so excited, it's only six months away.

Exalted High Committee. Yes, they are twins. Really.

Not to ruminate ad nauseum about the weather

But today's snow brought an end to - what we've labeled all along - extended summer. But on the bright side the Winter Solstice is ten days away,  marking the shortest day of the year.  Seasonal affective disorder aside, there is an up to all of this. On Dec. 22 the days get longer. That's the start of spring in our book, Bub, and the beginning of the new riding season. See, winter ain't so bleak after all (lol).

And if yer still bummed out by the weather, you can attend this Saturday's Ton Up Club Winter Blot in Minneapolis. Go here for details:

In celebration of the seven inches of snow in the forecast today. Good thing it's motorcycle movie night.

Our hat is off to honor John Glenn

A true pioneer in every sense of the word.

What better way to celebrate the holidays?

Motorcycle Movie Night this Saturday at Christian's. Starts at 7 p.m., and don't forget to bring that white elephant gift. What better way to get rid of crap piled up in your basement.

Hey everyone, the Ditmeyers are coming, too.

Snow Schmoe

What's a few inches? Badabing, badaboom, ain't nothing.

Out in the boonies today.
