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…

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 –…

Full Tilt Minnesota

Full Tilt is one of Minnesota’s few purist chopper shows. Events like this, the David Mann show in Nordeast this year & Bearded Lady are as good as they come. We can thank Heavy for rounding it up along with support from other crews like Union Speed & HA 81, among others. Columbus&Co hooked me…

Tristan Henderson, from Further Performance, owns this awesome little GS400 lane-splitter. He was a pleasure to talk to and is a very knowledgeable…

Minneapolis Messaround

The Messaround is a fantastic period correct car show in Minneapolis at the Memory Lanes Bowling Alley. The cars are top-notch hot rods, the bikes were killer and the scene is solid greaser culture. I’m passionate about tattooed women and cars with more than 5 carburetors so it was very relative to my interests.  http://www.minneapolismessaround.com/…

MN State Fair

The MN State fair is a super content rich environment. It’s hard not to get excited when you approach the entrance and see 4 million people scrambling like a sweaty ant farm, but we had to remind ourselves that we didn’t go there to have fun. Show up early and case the layout to get…

Let the Labors of the Weird Begin

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, ‘Wow! What a Ride!’” – The good doctor

The Good

Clint is Still the One… speaking at the RNC tonight and forever an icon. Original content is still building momentum to jump start the page, but in the meantime these photos were too cool to not upload. British horse or American motorcycle you’ll still make his day.
