This "original" motorcycle was at Dubuque last weekend. 
It was pretty darn correct, except for spelling . . .

Torquefest 2017

Hangin' with Peedro & Pete all weekend was a total blast.  Fun times with Michael, Nate, Jace, Mason, Zac and Will . . . nice to see Lil' Chris (too bad his bike broke, sucks!) The Seeley's, Dave and Berger helped with my dirt-learning-curve . . . thanks again fellas Tripped the ship with Mothership again . . . See ya'll soon. -Noot



















Zac says . . . "Did you see that shit ! ? ! "
Suspicious people . . . jammin' late into the nite . . .
Will and his totally sweet panhead !
 
I took my new flat track track bike, and it worked great all day.  They said I did about 70-80 laps and the final session went a full feature of 30+ laps back and forth with Chappy Seeley . . . until my leg was ready to fall off and he was gettin' arm pump.  Better quit while we're still running !  One of the most funs days of my whole life - totally awesome.  A huge thanks to John Wells for the perfect track, and the opportunity to ride.  Respectfully, -Noot




 This car came rollin' in and just looked so cool . . .


John Tibben from Iowa

John Tibben #60 with his unorthodox style (sitting kinda cock-eyed) in the saddle . . . but it sure worked for him A fast and highly successful racer, Tibben got his start from Mike Wilson, and later moved to Chicago, where he worked at Chicago H-D - honing his skills at Santa Fe Speedway.  Tibben is rumored to have ran over 1000 races in his career, and ran the Daytona 200 - 9 times !  He still lives down near Victor, Iowa I heard . . .

K is tops !

I know a guy who has one, just like this ! 
That would be the ultimate for me.
Back roads wearing vintage gear at 50mph all day long.

Old School Shovelhead

These old shovelhead motors are just badass.  Their popularity is coming on strong.  Unfortunately, this one had a history of "many different mechanic hands."  Now it's much better . . .
I polished the nasty rocker boxes -  to a factory finish. 
Red rocker nuts from my (Red Rocker Nut Collection)
Hell yes, I'd run it !
PS: I'm doing it's matching -65 transmission too
