What A Weekend.............Spring Is Here!!

Sponsors

We would like to take a minute and thank all of the sponsors that have signed up and donated so much already.  The support of these local businesses and the motorcycle community is overwhelming.  Without them this show couldn’t happen. 

Please support our great sponsors (look to the right for their links/information).   

Sharer’s Cycle

On Saturday I'll be riding my black 1974 Moto Guzzi 850T up to Sharer’s Cycle Open House outside of Verona.  Sharer's is one of the oldest Triumph dealers in the country.  Lot’s of history and a great location to ride too.  It’s a great event, with a combination of old timers and “new” timers.  Lyall has done and seen a lot happen in the last four decades.

Slimey Crud Run

On Sunday (May 2^nd) the black 850T and I will once again be riding the Spring Slimey Crud Run.  This is a great event that brings several different types of motorcyclists together for a scenic ride through the beginning of the rolling hills of western Wisconsin.  The weather looks as though it’s going to cooperate so there will be a great turnout. 

I’ll be there handing out flyers to those that would like one for the show.  Don't worry, I'm not the guy who stuffs fliers on peoples bikes......that's too rude. 

If you would like to see a Vincent or maybe a 1927 JD Harley riding down the road as they were meant to, come out and check out the Slimey Crud Run this Sunday.

Don't forget when you're in Leland to get a summer sausage sandwich......it's just like what mom packed in your lunchbox as a kid.

Here’s more information on the Slimey Crud Run:    http://www.slimeycrudrun.com/
