Slimey Crud

New story in the MKE Paper.Headed to the Slimey Crud Run with bro-in-law Bill. Nice rally! A stupefying assortment of motorcycles. And the beautiful day brought out maybe 1,000 enthusiasts.

A great rally where people care more about go than show. Very low on cruisers, chrome and super fat rear tires. High on sport bikes, dual sports and nearly everything else. Never seen so many V-Stroms (my model), or BMWs, Ducatis, Nortons, Triumphs for that matter. If you can cobble together your rusty, leaking 1982 Yamaha and get it to Leland, you get way more cred than someone who tacks one more piece of chrome on their chopper. Sweet!

Cute. A matched set of early '80s Hondas.

Cherry 1968 Norton Commando fastback.
Blinged-out cafe racer.

Back roads there and back.
