Gophers and Cheese

Continuing coverage from the Bearded Lady Motorcycle Freakshow (BLMFS) 2014, only 11 years late!

Remember the Bearded Lady in Northeast Minneapolis?  That show was so good!  Back in the early 2010s, Ma Rad's Rumble on the Deck, Full Tilt Boogie, and the Bearded Lady Motorcycle Freakshow would occur within the span of 2 weeks.  I always took a ton of photos at each of them and then got overwhelmed trying to edit and post them to the blog while still trying to enjoy summer.  The photos I took in 2014 and 2015 have just been sitting on my hard drive, not seeing the light of day... until now.

More photos from the 2014 Konawerks Bike Show ! There was live music outside: There was pinball inside: There were even bacon flights next door (yes, bacon flights).  I paired mine with a locally brewed porter. Back to the bikes! Mine again: Eric's: Todd's: Vacuum cleaner bike [insert your own "it sucks" joke here]: More bikes! ...and one more of Charlie's: This year's show is the 6th Annual and will take place on September 17, 2016 but there's a whole lot of spring and summer between now and then so don't get too excited quite yet.

Continuing on my quest to clear out my backlog of photos, here are some from the 4th Annual Konawerks Bikes Show that took place at Grumpy's Bar & Grill on September 6, 2014.  I rode my XL1200C and stopped by the Stone Arch Bridge to take a few photos on the way to the show. The show was busy: The Palace was well represented: My bike was parked next to Eric's shovel: Todd's Yamaha: I hadn't seen this bike in a while (blogpost here ) with the spring seat and giant exhaust.  Some bikes you just don't forget.  By the way, this is what a Screamin' Eagle exhaust should look like... the beak of a giant screaming eagle: Nice shovel: Subtle black lace: Jason's Dyna: More bikes! And here's Charlie's shovelhead one more time for good measure: More pics tomorrow!
