Slimy Crud Run, Spring '18 in pitchers (that's pictures for those who can enunciate)

Two days and 600-plus miles for the Slimy Crud Run, Pine Bluff to LeLand, Wis. A good time was had by all. The event, captured by us, in pictures. Here you go.

Someone rolled up on a nice Commando.

A 1991 Super T from Canada, no less. Who knew?

At the Monarch in Fountain City, Wis. We like the Manx flag.
Neal wants one.

A beautiful CB 750.

Peter Egan (right) we all know who he is, talks bikes at Pine Bluff.

Our Man-in-the-Field furiously edits tons o' pictures under extreme deadline pressure for a major metropolitan newspaper. The guy on the right is homeless.

The one and only Bultaco making the scene.

Good crowd and a bad ass ol' Gootzy in Pine Bluff.

Crusty but rideable. That's the ticket.

A very lovely BSA Gold Star.

A very lovely John Player Norton

God loves BMW.

Sunbeam, the happy motorcycle.

Out and about in the hinterland

More back roads; more break-in miles. The Bill Blue 351 big bore kit is breaking in mighty fine. Needs about 100 miles at no more than half-throttle. Got about 20 more to go before I can actually crack the throttle.

Random Motorcycle Picture of the Day

From Crud Runs of the past; The Spring 2018 event is this Sunday. Better get that ride in this weekend. Why? Because the following Sunday is going to be totally destroyed by yer mother.

Random Pictures from a random day of riding

Shoulda coulda woulda is no excuse for not getting out today for some riding.

First stop: the porta-john at the Frankfort, Wis. Town Hall. It wouldn't be a ride
without stopping here to pee.

Big bore kit day two: forty-seven nice and easy break in miles. Another fifty-three to go.

Leave my monkey alone. Post-ride crocky-tail.
