My good friend Brad and I kicked it down on the bikes for what may be the final ride of the year. MN Weather is reporting a slippery slope starting this week so it’ll be open cases instead of open roads. Without Brad neither of my bikes would have ever made it to the asphalt….

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.
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…
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…

Road Trips & New Kicks

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…
