If you are hardcore, you'll do this on New Year's Day

If not, you'll be in the comforts of home watching the Jiffy Pop/Weedeater/Lysol Bowl from the American Motors Stadium in Toledo, Ohio. (North Dakota Welding Institute of Minot Vs. The Wayward Girl's Home of Eastern Oklahoma; now that's a match-up!).

I-Cycle Derby

HQ is Roy's Repair in Mpls, a great place in and of itself, full of motorcycle lore. And it's a great old school repair shop. Monday's forecast is a balmy -1. Not for the meek. Enjoy a few shots from last year's ride.

Merry Xmas, everybody

Here is a sampling of the various Christmas cards we've received at the Ironworks Motorbike Club HQ high atop the Acme Incorp. Tower in beautiful downtown Red Wing. Thanks to all of our supporters and friends.

Film making icon Bruce Brown passes

Known for documentaries on surfing and motorcycling, Brown brought the sport of motorcycling to the American conscious with his film "On Any Sunday". Mr. Brown, sadly passed away on Sunday.

Bruce Brown remembered

No matter how many times we watch "On Any Sunday" it never fails to entertain. And at a time when "bikers" were a notorious lot, Brown captured the true enthusiasm of what riding is about. And don't you forget that, Johnny. A legend and icon, Mr. Brown will be remembered for a great contribution to motorcycling. Do yourself a favor and catch "On Any Sunday" now.

Scenes from the IMS show in Mpls.

Friday night is a swell time to attend: crowds are light; plenty of room to move around and company reps are at ease, and there are a lot of stickers. (Did we mention we are whores for motorsickle stickers? Yes, we are.) Good Gawd, did the new Honda Gold Wing attract a lot of old men. Too many octogenarians swarming around to get a good shot. Oh well.

Old Iron at the Mpls. Ton Up Club Exhibit

Norton. Fast. Dead sexy.

Pink bikes have their place, too.

Old Harleys, the way they outta be.

'65 Triumph. Damn, left the checkbook at home.

Retro modern: Royal Enfield had a nice turnout of bikes.

Tank selfie of two schmoes.

Croig has an exhibit with some cool Mn. inspired bikes

World Superbike ride of  2017 champ Johnny Rea.

Excited to be a part of it all. Brought to you by.... Spectro Oils.
 Yes, Spectro oils. The rep made me do this picture.

The flat tracker that Indian should build. It garnered a lot of attention. Build it and they will come. We implored the Indian rep to do so. But what do we know?

One of a kind for now....Hopefully, more will follow.

And yet another angle.

Some kinda BMW bike: RRXRRPGY 1200RRR, I think?
 Who cares, it caught my eye and it's bad assery at its finest.

GS tank profile. Anyone know what the white blob is? It ain't the Isle of Man....
