Gophers and Cheese

I have attended the Full Tilt Boogie Chopper Show all 3 years but for one reason or another I couldn't stay very long the first two years.  This year was different and I was able to hang out all day and see a lot more bikes and bands.  I rode my Sportster of course.  Had I ridden my Road King, I think I would have been forced to park on the street.  If you were looking for baggers, you were definitely at the wrong show. As usual, a handful of vendors were set up including Heavy Clothing .  To the best of my knowledge, they help organize the show each year. A notable addition to the vendor lineup was Show Class Magazine .  I'm a subscriber and have been a fan of the magazine since Issue #1 . I took a ton of photos because there were so many amazing bikes there so keep coming back as it will take a while for me to post them all.

Lucky #13 arrived today.

Pure joy in a square manilla envelope.  Show Class Volume 2, Issue 5 just arrived in my mailbox.

I just received the latest issue of Show Class Magazine yesterday (the Milwaukee issue).  The magazine is now larger and is a square format.  Inside, it looks fantastic.  The photos are huge and look great. If you're not a subscriber yet, what are you waiting for???

Show Class is a fantastic magazine and I was really excited when I learned Issue 9 (aka Vol 2 Issue 3) was going to be focused on St. Paul.  I'm bummed that I missed the issue release party back in November but the issue itself is awesome and showcases many of the great bikes you'll find right here in the Twin Cities. Since I've taken my own photos of so many of the bikes featured in the magazine, I thought it would be fun to write up a "companion guide" of sorts in case you want to check out additional photos of the bikes in the issue.  If you don't have Issue 9, it's still available in the Show Class store (at least as of today) so go buy it! Here are my blog posts containing additional photos of the bikes found in Show Class Issue 9: Pages 7-9: Purple Passion Full Tilt 2012 Part 2 Pages 13-15: Clean Machine Full Tilt 2012 Part 3 Hog Feed 2012 Part 2 Pages 19-22: Weed Wacker Full Tilt 2012 Part 2 Chopper Art Show 2012 Part...

Nothing seems to scream "Happy New Year" better than naked ladies and choppers.  Got my Show Class Magazine 2013 Calendar.  It's quite a bit bigger and better than last year's.  Definitely not for the kiddies.

I always look forward to new issues of DicE and Show Class arriving in the mail.

I mentioned in my last post that I had a few FREE GIFTS for some lucky readers... Check out my last post for how to enter to win a free ticket to the 2012 Progressive International Motorcycle Show in Minneapolis, MN (Feb 3-5, 2012). I also have TWO FREE COPIES of SHOW CLASS MAGAZINE: ISSUE #3 to give away. The U.S. Postal Service apparently screwed the good people at Show Class Magazine over.  I am a subscriber to Show Class Magazine and they mailed me an extra copy of Issue Three because the first one they sent got lost in the mail.  They did this for a bunch of people because the Post Office seemed to misplace an entire batch of issues.  When that copy also seemed to get lost in the mail, they sent me a third copy with no questions and no hassle, all at their expense.  Soon after they mailed me the third copy, all three copies FINALLY showed up.  The guys over at Show Class are awesome and, to keep the good karma flowing, I am passing my two ext...

Just arrived today.  Get yours here .

Show Class Magazine .  Nice work guys!!! Looking forward to issue two...
