Gophers and Cheese

The 3rd Annual Spare Arts Bike Show was held on August 27th, 2016 down in Austin, MN.  It was organized by Andrew of Hold Fast Motors.  Austin is a cool little town but is probably best known as the home of Spam and the Spam Museum .  If you haven't been, you should definitely go.  The show took place 2 months after Moto Mania 2: The Big Deuce so it was a bit of a reunion of sorts for many who were there.  I drove down to the show with my son and brought the Evil Monkey (my Honda Z50).  After the show we stopped at Elko Speedway for Eve of Destruction featuring (besides regular racing) drifting, figure 8 school bus races, a jet car melting another car, and a transforming robot dinosaur that ate another car.  Needless to say, it was a great day.

In just over 2 weeks, the Build Art Bike Show will be held down in Austin, MN from 2-8pm.  It is hosted by Hold Fast Motors and is sponsored by Relic Kustoms and Icon 1000 . The last time I was in Austin was July 2008.  It was only two months after I bought my Road King and my wife and I took a short road trip south to check out the Spam Museum .  It's hard to believe it was over 5 years ago.
