Dirk Peterson and his wife, pictured above, had the best costumes at the Frankensteiners’ Ball. They went as the strong hand of the Lord and passed our poison apples and koolaid. Dirk works with Tim’s Custom Exhaust and also owns Rocket Man Enterprises, specializing in repairs, rebuilds and resto work. He has a great family…
1922 Harley Davidson JD @ Frankensteiners’ Ball
This 1922 Harley Davidson JD stole the show for me at the Frankensteiners’ Ball last Sunday. There weren’t many bikes there, but the ones that showed face were all unique with this being the icing. I had the opportunity to meet John, the owner, and get some stories on its life. John bought it completely…
Just a Bunch of BFFs with Correlative Interests
Now this is what a bromance should look like. Justin sent me this epic photo…. 10,000 man hugs and a perfect chopper.
Classic Motorcycle Photos on a Good Blog
I came across this fella’s photos and site and really enjoyed it.
Frankensteiners’ 7th Ball in Anoka, MN
The 7th annual Frankensteiners Ball was the best show I’ve been to this year. They do a great job at throwing together an event that you can bring a kid or dawg to, but still get gnarly. The cars were great with over 1000 in attendance and burnouts were plentiful. We met a lot of…
Roach Custom Pinstriping & iPhone Flair
Monte Roach owns and operates Roach Custom Pinstriping out of Cambridge, MN and we got to kick it down with him a little today at the Frankensteiners Ball, which was a killer show, but more on that later. Monte had his booth setup with some of his wares, but the coolest part is that he’ll…
For Those About to Bob…
I saw this some time back on the Haints blog and got a kick out of it. This had to be a blueprint on how to major in badassness back in ’54. With these simple modifications you could build a period correct bobber when the only period you had was correct, assuming that was your…
Vescio’s Customizing & Resto
Justin worked at Bo Vescio’s Customizing & Restorations some years back and they still maintain their friendship. We were in the area the other day and took a pass through the shop. Although it was a beehive with all the customers, employees and cars in constant motion we got a chance to shoot the shit…
Wishbone Wednesday is always Thursday
I don’t know who owns this incredible bike, but I’ve stashed these two photos throughout the year. I can’t remember where the top one came from, but the lower photo is from a Born Free 4 thread on Chop Cult. The bike is incredible, to restate my point. The narrowed fatbob tanks are spaced and…
A Few Black & Whites from Summer
The Crown Vic was at St. Bonaventure’s Fall Show in Bloomington, the Deuce is Steve Anderson’s Medeusa which has been here before and the Panhead is cool…. it was chilling on the street at Messaround. Summer’s coming to a close and I’m a little bitter about it here in Minnesota.
Best Properties on the Market
The Week Magazine is pretty much my exclusive news source. It presents both sides and maintains relevant content while appealing to our useless curiosities. They have “Best Properties on the Market” every issue and this week’s theme was rad pads with epic garages. This is for those of you home shopping in Sonoma or wanting…
Wishbone Wednesday was Yesterday…
Wishbone frames can be an excellent compliment to a bike’s design when left exposed on a narrow build. I snagged this bike above from a writeup on Chop Cult and it belongs to Herb from Holden, MA. It’s a ’51 Pan/Shovel with a cool, simplistic design. The lower bike I found on the Jockey Journal…
