Gophers and Cheese

If you've been following me over on Instagram you know I recently picked up two more late-70s Honda Z50s to add to my Evil Monkey (aka Snow Monkey in the winter).  One clearly caught fire so I call it the Toasted Monkey.  I'm rebuilding that one for my kids (and they're helping!).  The other was pretty much just a frame so it's a blank canvas for me that I'm calling the Monkey Chop.

Here are some choppers featured at the 2018 Progressive International Motorcycle Show .  First up is Zack's panhead. Bob's Evo and Panhead: Mike's shovelhead: Not sure who built these but these two bikes were cool. I'll wrap it up with Eric's shovel.

Would you believe that this is a Royal Enfield? To provide a little contrast, here's their new Himalayan adventure bike: Here are some photos of the stunt show on Sunday. After the stunt show, I took my kids to hear Lisa Brouwer talk about her cross-country motorcycle trip, following the trail of the Avis & Effie Hotchkiss, mother and daughter, who did it on a Harley Silent Gray Fellow (with sidecar) about 100 years earlier.  My daughter thought Lisa's talk was the best part of the whole show. Photos wrap up tomorrow.  Choppers ahead!
