The Salt Ghost

I was paging through one of my favorite Motorcycle Sport Quarterlys, ill go over that reason why in a future blog.  (Von Dutch+ XLR+ Street Tracker+ Classy)

 

There was an article on transporting your cycle via 4 wheels.

And what do I see, the now Four Aces "Salt Ghost" crammed into the back of a cadillac.

 

Now this bike is more famous then ever.  It even has its own movie!

Couldn't find my salt ghost pictures from Bonnie, so I thought I would throw in some Four Aces bikes from 2007.  The first year I caught the Bonneville bug, and my first land speed record on the Whizzer.

I love that mag on the Cub

Salt Ghost article - I got a soft spot for Hodakas

Cycle Gang

 

One of my favorite cars, may just be because of the "Double Dragster" model kit that you could build one up from.

It was a good time had by all.

Crunch

nice new aluminum windshield

At The Land up north,

Thought I was doing the safe thing not going down the steep muddy hill.

Right before going over the bridge I thought to myself how long it had been since I crossed the bridge.

And crunch.

The bridge was just a pallet from the shipping of a CNC machine.

Tip: Use treated lumber when building a bridge.

Bike is fine, no worries.  Showed the pictures to the previous owner, he mentioned there was a good reason her name was "Helga the Rugged Slut"

I love construction

My rear tire is wearing down quick, hope to get 1k out of them.

I gotta use my knobby time wisely.

Found some nice road construction behind one of the 2 different health clinics being built on the corner of 19 and 51

The KLRs older 4 wheeled brother

I have been fiending for dirt, I gotta get back out there.

Hittin' the slopes

Found my way to the trails at Devils Head

Family Get-Together Yall'

Time for the 2nd Annual Zeigle & Zenz family reunion up at Devils Head

*Kayaking
*Rigid single speed 29er & Off-road Tandem bike riding
*Attempts of surfboard as stand-up paddle board

And maybe a little off-road exploring of Devils Head on the KLR

da bass

Some people have this misconception that bass strings don't break. False.
Wish I had a spare $200+ to keep an extra set of bass strings around.
