The Very Boring Rally in pictures

No bee stings to the head, I made my first VBR in Duluth. Looking forward to going again in five years.

Fisticuffs are the norm in the VBR campsite as far as it goes for members of the Ironworks Motorbike Club

Rob did not hear banjo music; he created the banjo music

Very nice HRD Vincent Black Shadow. Rare. Don't touch. Tim did and got arrested.

VBR rally grounds. More tents on the other side of lodge. And in the trees. And elsewhere.

Paul going for the last drops in discarded beer bottles. Hey, nice Norton, tho.

Though we'd like to be at Indy, partying in the Hyatt's pilot lounge....

we are not this year. Sad as it may sound, scheduling difficulties prevented any members of the Red Wing Ironworks Motorbike Club from traveling to Indy for the 2013 Moto GP, happening this very weekend. Fortunately, we will catch all the GP actions from the comfort of Sir. Robert's super-ass huge couch in front of his super-duper large-ass TV.   But in case you are wondering, this is what a lap at Indy looks like from the cockpit of a GP bike.

Not that I want to be thinking about this now, but......

The days are getting shorter, the nights a little cooler and before long.... Never mind. The thought of the riding season drawing to a close is depressing enough. But hey, it is time to get the annual Red Wing Ironworks Motorbike Club Octoberfest on the books.

The details:
When: Saturday, Oct. 5
Time: 5 p.m.
Where: Bill's backyard
I will get a keg of Rush River. Bring something to pass around, and be prepared to learn new swear words.

Next up: The Very Boring Rally

The Aerostich once-every-five-year Very Boring Rally is on the calendar for Aug. 23-25 at Spirit Mountain in Duluth. So far on the Ironworks roster for attendance is: Little Timmy, Christian, Bill and Sir Robert. If you miss it, you will be sad, like this guy below, and you will be forced to listen to his music all weekend long.
