I spent the night at Morlock’s up nort’ the other weekend and it was a good excuse to load everything up on the Shovel for an outdoor camping experience. Herk’s trying it on for size in the photo. I’m especially keen on the backrest that I get out of the pack when it’s on and…
More Weekend Whips
Here are some more photos from Saturday’s car shows. Justin and I did St. Bonaventure with Columbus & Co during the midday and then Anoka, MN in the eveing. Justin helped build the Deuce Coupe project (Medusa at top) at Vescio’s when he was working there some years back. It’s a true show-stopper and it’s…
Anoka Car Show & Wide Angle Lenses
Morlock hooked me up with a loaner lens because I’m looking into a wide angle. This is the Canon 17-40 and it was a riot to use. Any wider than 17mm and I’d see the back of my head.
Where Georgia O’keefe Sat Her Flower.
Herk did a romp around in Santa Fe and came across this rad WL that belonged to the one and only, Geogria O’Keefe. He found it in the archives and emailed it to me yesterday for the blog and we got a hearty laugh out of it. I have mixed emotions on Georgia from having…
Handmade Norwegian Knife & a Lunch w/ Sigmund
This hand whip is Herk’s traditional Norwegian blade that he made in Northern Minnesota at the North House Folk School in Grand Marais. There you can learn to make a knife, build a canoe and hide a body among many other skills and crafts. He rode his bike up and slept next to the transmission…

LIFE Photos from 60’s Outlaw Scene
I’ve collected a lot of photos that I’ve come across over the years and there’s a folder full of the late 60’s Outlaw scene, specifically the HA’s on the West Coast. From what I understand, a lot of these pics were from the Baraboo chapter. Most of the photos came from an XL Sportster thread…
Classic National Geographic
I was rummaging around a flea market the other day and came across some classic Nat Geo mags. Here’s 1938’s ads… Sign me up for Route 4 please, on the lower photo’s tour.
Pour Another Cup of Coffee & Enjoy This…
I swiped this from The Horse BC’s Balktalk. Women on bikes are foxy and a little home maintenance goes a long way. It’s Micky Lynn’s Harley Davidson Ironhead chop and I think it’s a really cool, dirty little machine. Good functionality though with disc brakes front and back and a riding stance that looks to…
Bikes from Messaround
This is a really well done Triumph unit chop. Simple, but plenty of attention to detail. Copper lines, velocity stacks, chain tensioner and a whole lot of chrome. That tank is fantastic. Tristan Henderson, from Further Performance, owns this awesome little GS400 lane-splitter. He was a pleasure to talk to and is a very knowledgeable…
On Full-Frame Photography…
If you’re into photography you’ll find a camera with a full-frame sensor a worthy improvement from a crop sensor, even if the crop is a SLR. A full-frame’s sensor is essentially the same size as a 35mm film exposure. Larger sensors can accommodate larger pixels which in turn collect more light for cleaner images. This…
