We got some hillclimbing to do this weekend

Red Wing's very own Indianhead Motorcycle Club will host the 2017 AMA Hillclimb Grand Chanpionship this freaking weekend in Red Wing. This is a big deal, Roy, and don't let nobody say otherwise. Runs Saturday and Sunday in conjunction with River City Days. Drop your wife off at some girlie shop downtown, let her buy stupid stuff for the kitchen and get your ass out to the hillclimb grounds. Unless, of course, wifey-wife likes dirt clods being flung at her head, then bring her along. A swell time to be had by all, for sure. Linky gives up the details and the Indianhead Club website.

Bring Out Your Dead

Going to Duluth this weekend? Bring Out Your Dead vintage rally. Starts AM Saturday, goes to ? Sir Benedict's Tavern, 805 East Superior St. (218) 728-1192. Sorry, not a lot of details on this one at the Sir Benedict's website except a listing on the calendar. Old bikes? You betcha!

Like Eye-talian stuff with wheels?

If so, better hustle yer way to downtown St. Paul on Thursday night; cars, motorsickles, bikes and anything else that is Italian-made with wheels. Sponsored by the Wheels of Italy Club. The details:

Official social commentary

Reports are circulating that motorcycle sales are soft in the U.S. We have a remedy: America, go buy more motorsickles. Do your duty. That is all.
