Hiawatha Beemer Rally Action

Looking for that something to do this weekend? Well then, head down to Money Creek in scenic southeastern Minnesota where there are bluffs, curvy roads and the 43rd Hiawatha BMW rally. Don't have a Beemer? Neither do we, but heck, we're going anyway. Good crowd, good bikes, good fun. What else is there in life?

A Good Time Was Has By All

Of course, all being just me a my trusty KLX 250/351. Hit some Goodhue County gravel for a spell yesterday on such a fine spring day. Man, we need more days like this.

Random Motorcycle Picture of the Day

Things of Note

First, there is a motorcycle ride afoot for this Saturday. Yes, the sun shall shine, the birdies will sing and there is no foul weather in the forecast. Therefore, we shall ride. Be at the Caribou at 8 AM; kick stands up at 9. Southbound to Houston County and who knows where. Second, enjoy a few photos of Sir Robert's very nice Honda CBR1000RR. Rumor has it this was supposed to fall into Nicky's hands....

And Yet Another Day of Rain

This is how rides have been looking lately.....

Been Sorta Slow Around Here..

Random pictures because we got nothing better at the moment. Anyway, a few from the Ton-Up Club in Minneapolis, which hosts its Spring Social this Sunday. Be there. Aloha.

Spring Social

Random Picture?

A Not So Cruddy Time

This time of year, it's always a trip to the Pine Bluff -Leland, Wis. vortex to be a part of the Slimy Crud Run, established decades ago by a group of U of Wisconsin students who were riding enthusiasts for all kinds of cafe racers, road bikes and all-things "sporty". As usual, always fun and always no shortage of interesting things to see. And on that note, here are some lovely pics.

Nice pair of old Bonnevilles in Pine Bluff.

Norton, Pine Bluff. Not to be confused with Norton from the "Honeymooners".

Rolling into Pine Bluff. As usual, a nice crowd.

Never a shortage of stuff to look at. I love the Old War bikes.

How every front yard in America should look in May. No one yelled, "Get off my lawn..."

Sportbikes of all vintages? Yep.

Velocette: the English motorcycle with the French name
founded by a German dude. And, yes, you don't see many of these around.

Always a wide variety coming and going in Pine Bluff were the fun begins.

There is always a story, and it usually has Peter Egan's name on it.

One of the "forgotten" Italian brands. Bad-ass cool, nonetheless. And yes, I'd like to have one. Parked in Leland.

More proof that God loves motorsickless. Especially in Leland.

Were real Norwegians eat in Osseo, Wis.

This sign has sat for years on Hwy. 10 outside of a long closed
bar on the far outskirts of Neillsville, Wis.

Every child born in the 60s and 70s wants one of these.

There was some sorta story about this bike. Didn't have time to read it all. Dooooh.

Like old vintage British Iron? Crud Run is the place to see it all.
This fine Triumph was parked in Leland, where the sun always shines on English bikes.

Yep, I have shot this one before. Never fails to draw me in when I see it in Pine Bluff.

Batman rolled into Pine Bluff. But he was undercover, dressed like a regular rider.
