I picked up some new lenses for an older Nikon film camera that I really like and brought that along on the Wild Ride instead of my DSLR – I put up some info on the trip on the previous post. It was fun to shoot but challenging to manually focus while riding. Camera photos,…

The Wild Ride 2013 – Chopper Run to Hayward, WI
My friend, Brian from Speed Club, puts on a little annual chopper run called The Wild Ride through Wisconsin, which started last year. 2012’s was a pretty big turnout with a PBR sponsorship, a chase van, raffles and the like, but it sounded like it outgrew its vision by the end of that day. I…
The Chopper on it’s Own 2 Legs
Brad’s in Milwaukee at Harley’s 110th, others are in Davenport rummaging through piles of priceless springers for Wassell tanks and I’m at the desk basking under the fluorescent lights – so it seemed like a fitting time to resurrect the internet personality. Last entry was deraking this gnarly ’52 wishbone frame and something like 4…
Plans for a Harley Motor Stand
If you have more time and tools than cash make yourself a stand for your V-Twin before it comes out of the frame, if you don’t already own one. They also make great stocking-stuffers. The plans were put together by an e-human called Starbound on the Club Chopper forum… I don’t hang there and found…

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.…

In 2009 I had the chance to jump the pond and kick it down in New Zealand for a month during December and see a little Oceania kulture. I was visiting my girlfriend at the time and through family friends she linked up with a key player in the Burt Munro Challenge Rally. For those…

Discovery Channel Biker Build-Off Photos 2012 – OCC & Paul Jr.
I was having a difficult time finding the photos of all the bikes in one place so here are a few I pooled together out of interest. The better bikes are on my previous post. I don’t have any photo credits and apologize so if you know who they belong to chime in and I’ll…
Discovery Channel Biker Build-Off 2012
Discovery wrapped up another reality TV biker build-off to appease the couch-potato outlaws and kick-start their arteries. They grabbed 4 players from the group and allowed/sent them each in a direction of their own. The junior Teutel was building a car-themed bike built for the show-lot, which is geared toward the fans that prefer their…

Jesse Ventura as a Mountain Lion from the Eyeless Beholder
Humans do some weird shit and the immortalization of this cat is a prime example. On the bright side though, he looks like an iconic celebrity. If you’re an appreciator of poorly interpreted, stuffed animals then the Haints blog is a place for you… link on right.
