Heavy Thursday, June 2026

Posted
Image
Heavy Thursday returned to Litt Pinball Bar in uptown Minneapolis in June 2026.  It started off very wet, but the sun came out and the bands went on as planned. Zac rode up in the rain. The rain meant bike night was off to a slow start but it didn't keep everyone away. I see a rainbow! There's the sun! American Muscle's van: American Muscle They played using (and licking, sorry no pics) some of Psychic Vampire's equipment. Psychic Vampire : There's no Heavy Thursday in July, just Full Tilt Boogie .  Don't miss it!!!

Heavy Thursday kicked off its series of 2026 bike nights at 331 Club in Northeast Minneapolis.  This bike night moves around so you need to follow Heavy and pay attention to where it will be each month.  I rode my 2004 Sportster.  Later this year, this bike and I will be celebrating 20 years together, which is crazy.  Time flies!

Forgotten Star Motorcycle Night, May 2026

The first bike night of the year was on Cinco de Mayo at Forgotten Star , hosted by The Litas Twin Cities .  Sadly, there were no tacos to be found but it was the big release of their beer, Margalitas, and there was live music and lots of bikes so I suppose I'll forgive them.  I brought my Harley-DavidSchwinn chopper bicycle and parked it right up front.

Here are the rest of the photos I took Saturday at Vintage Torque Fest 2026.  I managed to get a few shots of my 1978 Harley-DavidSchwinn chopper bicycle on the dirt track while Torque Fest was in between racing events.  I did ride it around the track a bit, but didn't do the full oval as half was still muddy and tore up from the demolition derby.

Nope, this post has nothing to do with college basketball... the blog turns SIXTEEN years old today.  The blog is old enough to drive by itself now.  It could have gotten its learner's permit last year.  Crazy.  It's grown up so fast.
