Lots more photos from Mama Tried 2018. If you're anywhere near Milwaukee, the 2019 show is this weekend!

Biltwell brought their dual-sportster:

So many awesome details on this bike:

Chvrch!

Rear fender done right. I love this:

Amy's bike (built by Kevin):

Forget Bondo... I'm pretty sure this bike was made of saltwater taffy:

Heavenly light:

Check out the sticker:

Nice use of satin paint:

I'll finish up Mama Tried 2018 coverage tomorrow with one giant post full of motorcycles and concert pics.

About

Gophers and Cheese is a motorcycle blog focused on riding and events in Minnesota and Wisconsin near the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St Paul. With very rare exception (such as event flyers), all of the photos and written content are completely unique and original to this site.

I bought my first motorcycle (my Sportster) in 2006 and have been hooked ever since. I started the blog in 2010 because (1) I found it really difficult to find out what events were going on locally and (2) I just really like to take photos.

The blog's name "Gophers and Cheese" simply refers to Minnesota (The Gopher State) and Wisconsin (America's Dairyland), which is where I do the vast majority of my riding. I admit that it's a strange name for a motorcycle blog, but it keeps me (and everyone else) from taking it too seriously.
