This is going to be the best motorcycle event all summer. Why? Well, let me tell you. Tug of war battle! Lady headliners Lark vs Jenocide and lads Big Steve vs “Hay Little Guy!” Jonah go head to head for the trophy! After that, it’s a f**king free-for-all, anyone can try! Minibike racing tournament! You don’t have to be good, you just have to have fun! We’ve got the minibikes, you just have to have to get on and ride. 25 cent beers for those who participate in either racing or tug of war of the above events. Stuff to put in your mouth! The pig roast and food stuffs will keep your belly full so you can properly hooligan-about. Get down on the full bar and don’t worry about leaving your bike on the street if you take a cab home- there’s a fence and secure parking. Games! Play some pool, horseshoes, darts, or try your hand at our carnival games and competitions! Bring a strong throwing arm, that’s all I’ll say. Get down with the raffle! We’ve got amazing prizes coming from Icon Motosports, Zombie Performance, Wolf Designs, and me! This list is still growing, and if you have something you’d like to donate you can contact me.  Step right up! Come hang out and party SATURDAY, June 1st, 2013… at the Flying Fifteen Clubhouse (SE 72nd & Fir, PDX). RSVP to the facebook event and keep up on raffle prizes! Brought to you by Flying Fifteen MC, MotoLady, and Puddle Cutters Moped Army.

Writeup on Stormie’s Wrench Wednesdays

Not motorcycle related, but very motolady related… here’s to all the Moms out there who ride, taught us to ride, support our decision to ride, and raised us motorcyclists all over the world! I know I wouldn’t have grown up to be my headstrong self if it weren’t for my equally strong willed mother.  Happy Mother’s Day, Momma! PS. Yes, that is a young bratty me in the above photo. I also wish I could locate a photo of my mom riding the little Honda around the ranch, but alas I can’t.

Stormie’s Wrench Wednesdays

I posted a little intro to Stormie’s Wednesday wrench night a couple days ago, and wanted to follow up with a few pics.

Rust Bucket Project: The Bondo Bike

At the Deviants CC compound in Vancouver, WA… I spent a few hours going at the BSA frame with an angle grinder yesterday. My mission was to remove the bondo from the frame so I could see what is really going on with the structure of the hard tail, where I need to cut and start over again. 

The welds look pretty old judging by the wear and tear, and Wolf told me they were probably stick welds not something more fine tuned. Whoever built this bike must have fancied themselves a sculpter because they chose to use the bondo crap to shape it instead of metal. Seems silly to me.

Today was an eventful one!

Early start to go with Jada to buy her new motorcycle, home for some work, then off again to Two Wheel Tuesday at Tom Young’s motorcycle museum heaven! Rose City Motorcycle Museum is, as Tom calls it, “Portland’s best kept secret” where politics, religion, arguing and shitty attitudes are not allowed.

It was a good day in my lil world, and Jada’s too.

Building a bad ass motorcycle community in your region is not impossible! I get lots of messages from people saying they envy living on the West Coast, in Portland, etc because we have such an awesome group of motorcyclists and throw cool events, rides and such. Well, take it from Stormie Ray, you don’t need a huge shop or an epic ride planned. Stormie throws “Wrench Wednesdays” at her place where everyone can show up and work on their projects and put their heads together with other enthusiasts.  Try throwing your own wrench-fest, BBQ or potluck… start growing your community! And send me pictures. :)  [ more tagged Stormie Ray | event | goggles ]
