I settled into my desk today and happened upon a little gem that someone left for me. It was an Evo Sportster plastic model with functioning rear suspension and rubber tires. I rocked out a few wheelies and drove it over my computer a handful of times before loosing interest. Later in the day, while…

Chopper & Kustom Art – Cay Broendum & Adam Turman
I happened upon Cay Broendum‘s work over the weekend while checking out general chopper art. This guy is based out of Copenhagen and he’s incredibly talented; making all sorts of wares from paintings to furniture to bikes. His Pinterest is the first thing I stumbled upon and it’s loaded with his work and content. There’s…
Movie Monday – Werewolves on Wheels, 1971
I saw a picture of a guy’s chopper-haven basement and above the Panhead motor on the coffee table and 45 Springer rolling chassis were three classic biker movie posters. The fact that this dude was adorning his household domain with biker gold led me to believe he was no puss when it came to taste…
More on Frankensteiners’ Ball
I posted a few back on the Frankensteiners’ car club Ball in Anoka, MN and here are a few more photos and stories. Justin & Tahn’s pup Holley came to enforce integrity and schedule. She is a dog of action.We had the privilege of meeting Robert Beck, who is pictured above. He was a Huey…
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.
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…
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.
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…
Happy Monday
Justin sent me these 3 from the vault. That first Shovelhead at the top with the contemporary K/Q seat and John Harman front end is the best 70’s chopper I have ever seen. I wish I could find more photos of it. The other two are excellent samples of proper bikes. I’m usually not too…
A Culture for your Kulture… if you insist.
; Picture Justin and me rollin’ in the ‘Lac. So, we were cruising through a parking garage the other day talking about how the connotation of cool things can be ruined at times by their pseudo-guarded and over-saturated cultures. For example, Justin mentioned how in reality fixie bikes are cool (one fixed-gear and brakeless –…
Sporty Sunday
Check out this slick sporty chopper with the babe kickin’ it down. That John Harman front end makes the bike, in my opinion. For those of you who don’t know, John’s unique design brought the forks up into the handlebars, and above all else, utilized an internally sprung design. So, there is a front suspension…
