Here are bunch more photos from Mama Tried Show 2025.

This past weekend, I headed out to Milwaukee for  Mama Tried .  Like previous years, it's an incredible collection of custom motorcycles in a very cool venue that helps get us all through the end of Winter as we look forward to Spring.  Unlike previous years, I was there with my family, which is great because they were interested in seeing it, but it meant we were just there for the show itself and skipped Flat Out Friday and other events (this time).  On the bright side, it meant a lot fewer photos to sift through and edit so here we go...

The last bike night that I attended in 2024 was October 1st.  It was held at Forgotten Star Brewing and hosted by The Litas Twin Cities .  It was particularly fun because my son and I both brought bikes.  I had the Evil Monkey (my '76 Honda Z50) and he had his Razor MX350.  Obviously we didn't ride them there, but we did ride around the parking lot and it was a blast.  The Razor was originally my daughter's bike and when she outgrew it, my son rode it a bunch.  Over the past few months, I built him his own custom bike and I'll get to posting about that eventually.

Here's the last batch of photos from Pokey Tire Ice Racing 2025...

More photos from Pokey Tire Ice Racing 2025!!

Pokey Tire Ice Racing was held on Duck Lake in Madison Lake, MN on February 1, 2025.  It's been going on for a few years, but this was the first time I attended.  It was a cold, cloudy, and windy day out on the lake but it was a lot of fun!  The ice was solid, smooth, and very slippery as there was no snow cover.  I brought the Snowmonkey, which is the winter version of the Evil Monkey, my 1976 Honda Z50.  It has a studded tire in the back and banana ski up front.  It's been about 7 years since I've had it out on a frozen lake and it's as sketchy as it looks.  When I wasn't taking pictures, I did a bunch of laps and I even drag raced a newer 125cc Monkey... twice!!
