With December about to close its doors for the year I had to get it in gear and find something more than a front end to call my chopper build and ride to Born Free 5 in the spring. Justin reached out to the St. Paul crowd through Zac Doom from Heavy Clothing and got…

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…
Coupes and New Friends
Dirk Peterson and his wife, pictured above, had the best costumes at the Frankensteiners’ Ball. They went as the strong hand of the Lord and passed our poison apples and koolaid. Dirk works with Tim’s Custom Exhaust and also owns Rocket Man Enterprises, specializing in repairs, rebuilds and resto work. He has a great family…
1922 Harley Davidson JD @ Frankensteiners’ Ball
This 1922 Harley Davidson JD stole the show for me at the Frankensteiners’ Ball last Sunday. There weren’t many bikes there, but the ones that showed face were all unique with this being the icing. I had the opportunity to meet John, the owner, and get some stories on its life. John bought it completely…
Frankensteiners’ 7th Ball in Anoka, MN
The 7th annual Frankensteiners Ball was the best show I’ve been to this year. They do a great job at throwing together an event that you can bring a kid or dawg to, but still get gnarly. The cars were great with over 1000 in attendance and burnouts were plentiful. We met a lot of…
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…
Vescio’s Customizing & Resto
Justin worked at Bo Vescio’s Customizing & Restorations some years back and they still maintain their friendship. We were in the area the other day and took a pass through the shop. Although it was a beehive with all the customers, employees and cars in constant motion we got a chance to shoot the shit…
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.
Suicide Front Axles
I have mixed feelings on the rat rod thing… an old and original build that’s put together haphazardly and aged aggressively has some organic beauty, but gluing rubber rats and barbed wire to your car with a flat paint job can get kind of hokey. This guy with the Case tractor grill and suicide front…
Tom the Tailor
Tom the Tailor works out of his home-shop in Minneapolis, MN and offers a broad range of leather and cloth working services. He’s a passionate motorhead too so we paid him a visit the other day to talk shop on current and future projects. Here’s the yield: One of the challenges that buyers of custom…
Blue Cat Motors Gathering
Blue Cat Motors specializes in your import & cafe scene out of St. Paul, MN. A tailor/upholsterer we work with recommended checking out their 3rd Thursday of the month gathering so we made a swing through last week. The weather was dismal, but the bikes were cool. I met Casey, who owns this XS650 above,…
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…
