In February one of those trips we generally just dream about came true. Uncle Charlie and his brother Eric Senior drove 7 bikes from Minneapolis to San Francisco where Chris, Charlie, John, Eric and myself flew out to meet them. There were breakdowns, crashes, fights and some open-mouth kissing…. overall, the best trip I’ve been…

Minneapolis Messaround 2013
MPLS Messaround this year was A-Okay. A good turnout of cars complimented by a bounty of rockabilly and greaser kids. Some women looked like pinup centerfolds and other women looked like men. Jordan from Union Speed and Style built an incredible Panhead for Born Free 5 this year and despite the fact that it didn’t…
Classic Chop on an Evo Sportster
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…
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.
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 –…
70/83 Ironhead: First Build
Herk and I picked up this 1970 Ironhead in the winter of ’07 in original, but very shitty condition and went right after the frame. I hooked up a weld-on hardtail with some other simplicities and had her on the road the following year with the help of my friend, Braduary. 5 miles into my…
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…
Holding Out for the iPhone 7, or Whatever…
Seems to be going fairly well….
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…
