Winter Sleds

A few on display at Red Wing's Holiday Stroll on Friday evening. Sure, bikes woulda been cool, but these thangs were bad ass.

Happy Tanksgiving

Handle the corners well my friends.

The turns made easy

Guard rail my ass.

Winter My Ass

Ok, ok, ok, just kidding. Ideas to store that beast this time of year:

Winter storage done right

One stich, two stich, black stich, grey stich

Only the best police officers in Seattle wear Roadcrafter riding suits. Known to keep crashes and criminals in control.

Goodbye, Stan

The king of Marvel Comics has passed. A great and honorable day to remember him; Mr. Lee served in the US Army during WWII.

Back When Men Wore Gaiters, WW I

Hard to believe that today recognizes the 100th anniversary of the end of the "Great War." In honor of that, enjoy a few military motorcycle images that cover decades of veterans who did their service time on two-wheels. Also, enjoy a few links to do some reading about military motorcycles; not a bad way to spend a chilly Sunday. Thanks US Veterans; all have served well.

From The Way Back Machine, Sherman

Depending on where your reality is, the "way back" is either from the fall of 2017 or 1965 in the bottom of a nuclear missile silo in North Dakota. A few newly discovered pictures from last year's North Dakota motorcycle trip to the fabulous town of Oakes. By the way, there is some pretty good riding out in that neck of the world, which by the way, wasn't all that far from the literal end-of-the world. I remember being told that North and South Dakota were considered as the "second" largest nuclear power. That scared the bejesus outta me in 8th-grade. (By 10th grade, I started drinking beer and no longer gave a shit.) Anyway, enjoy a few from last year's cruise.

Future suspension prototype for Honda GP bike?
 Not hardly.
Giant shock-absorber in the launch control area.
Stop things from going "kaboom."

Space Command?
 Buzz Lightyear at your service.

Don't crap in this zone. Not kidding.
 Hard to dump nuclear waste in a restroom the size of a '73 Ford Pinto's backseat.
And hardly as luxurious.

Who knew that it only took a house key to launch an ICBM?

The party zone of world-wide Armageddon. At least you get a comfortable seat.

Missile launch switches. BMW put something sorta like this on one of its bikes.

Where you go if you need nappy time at the end of the world.

Obviously the K-mart Martha Steward Collection was used to make the launch center "homey"

The Big Door: shut that bad boy and it's roaches check in but they don't check out.

They last crew of nuclear warriors still on the job 27 years after the missile site closed.

The above-ground support building. Would make a nice place for a B&B.

This Just In From Election HQ....

Bob, the moto-dog,  has won.

More Music Stuff, FYI

Caravan Du Nord on Nov. 18 at Sheldon Theater in Red Wing; it's a Sunday show but who cares. Got no motorsickle stuff today due to election, pending chaos, alien invasion, teens egging your house or whatever.

Blast From The Past

Doing a big basement clean-up/organizing project and found a pile of these old things from the early 1990s. Yep, motorsickles sure have changed somewhat. Someday soon hipsters will buy these things in droves, sorta like the CB500s they are snapping up now. Or not.

And standby for news from somewhere else.....

Goodbye KLR, helloooo Tenere adventure bike. Yamaha unveils Tenere 700.  Meet the new Boss. Better than the old Boss. Damn. Mommy, can I have one for Christmas? Maybe Xmas of 2020.

Motorcycle Daily news on T-700

Vote Tuesday

FU? Now that is funny.

Need Some Good Music Saturday Eve?

Hit up the Sheldon Theater in Red Wing to catch Lee Rocker of the Stray Cats perform. Like motorsickles? Like rockabilly? Both were made to go together. This will be a great show and is officially endorsed by the Red Wing Ironworks Motorbike Club.
