BCM Chris put this on last year and we had a blast. I'm not going to be able to make it this year, but if you can, do it! It's just a good excuse to ride your machine and have some fun. Chris also has a Triumph project he's selling off cheap, so check that out too.

Well, after a great weekend out on the Gypsy Run, it feels like summer is officially over for me. That's it. No more traveling for this cat. Time to buckle down and get some stuff done. I picked up a bike from our good friend Joel months ago and tore into it at first. The idea was to just freshen up the cosmetics a little and move it out the door. One thing led to another and I'm just now starting to make some progress again. I ended up going way further than I originally planned, but whatever. Today I picked up a ton of parts from the polisher, dropped some more off for chrome, tins are at the painter and the freshly powdered frame is ready to go. Hopefully it'll be rolling (not running) by the end of the weekend. BFJosh stopped by tonight and we made up tailight mount version 2.0 for his sporty. I haven't ridden this machine yet, and kind of don't want to. I don't need one more bike to lust after, so I think I'll avoid it. He's got a few things to button up but it's rideable as is and looking good.

Now this is a Vantastic unit. Would be super fun to recreate today. Thanks to Adam R. for the photo.

Sad to hear of the legendary "Scoop" passing earlier in the month.

JD sums up his whole Sturgis experience in nine minutes. It's real good to see Gilby back on his bike! We're riding out there next year, no more excuses.

More East Coast Mayhem this weekend...
