Defrost Your Nuts Run 2009
It’s the un-official first ride of the year: the Defrost Your Nuts Run. The turnout this year was big, especially considering the April 11th tempatures. We were maxing out at fifty-ish, but I guess that’s warm enough for eager riders. It’s at least warm enough to keep frost off your nutz? Right?
2008 Fall Flood Run Pictures
The Fall Flood Run is an obvious reminder that the midwest biker season will soon be coming to a wintery end. But even China’s Closing Olymic Ceremonies don’t hold a candle to the thunderous march of the Flood Run. The day goes quick and with 90 degree weather, the stops seem too close [...]
2008 Fall Flood Run Preview
The 43rd Annual Fall Flood Run Is Saturday September 20th 2008! Let’s get the word out and make it one of the biggest and best yet. Here’s a few of the details…

Harley Davidson Ride Planner
Harley Davidson recently launched a new ride planning website. The idea is that you can input locations and waypoints and it will chart a course for you. There are also extended features that allow you to find good roads, Harley dealerships, hotels, events, and fuel stops.
Quick Routes along the Mississippi
If you’re like a Driftless Rider, you’re likely headed out of the Twin Cities metro area as soon as you start your engine. The map in this post shows some of the routes and stops that we frequent… and they’re all reachable within a hour or so.
Spring Flood Run 2008
I love the Flood Run. Here’s the quick 101: There’s two Flood Run’s. One in the spring and one in the fall. It starts at the Beach Club Bar right outside Afton, MN. From there it meanders down the river road, on the Wisconsin side between Prescott and Nelson, then on the Minnesota side from Wabasha down to Minnieska. It’s one of the largest local motorcycle rallies. Its thousands of bikers. Its kick-ass. This is our Spring 2008 review.
Tail of the Dragon
The Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap, with 318 curves in 11 miles, is America’s number one motorcycle and sports car road. The nearby Cherohala Skyway is quickly becoming number two with its remote 60 miles of scenic mountain highway. The area also has other roads less traveled, but just as exciting.
Tribute to Buffalo County
All the county roads are pretty “right-on” as you wind your way up and down through the valleys that are held down by generation old dairy farms and very small towns (Note: These people are working hard for a living, so these aren’t speed routes, take it easy and keep your eyes open for farm implements and trucks on the roads).
