Last Tuesdays Sportbike Night July 2012

Last night was the last Tuesday in July which meant Last Tuesdays Sportbike Night! Facebook was a buzz with postings for the event and with the weather cooperating, it was set to be a fun night. In all, I think about 200 bikes showed up. Nearly all of them sportbikes; there were a few cruisers and some vintage bikes as well. Authority Stunts put on a great show with two of their riders! A fun time indeed.

The event was hosted by ZeroGravity and The Dog House Bar & Grill.

Custom surfboard mount on a vintage Honda. This is Ryan, he welded it himself with a clever mounting system using that can be removed in just a few minutes. He said he also hauls his mountain bike with it. Where to surf in MN? Lake Superior of course.

  2. It does look well attended. I might be able to carry my tanpoura on a mount like that guy has for his surf board...or, at least my long board :)

    Nice photos.

  3. Chris:

    Our bike nights seem more intimate, not so many bikes but it is always nice to meet others from our BCsportbikes.com forum and get their real names. We also had BCstunters.com give stunting demos but not since last year as our current location is not large enough for them.

    It's nice to see the vintage bikes

    1. Surprising there aren't more sport bikers near you with all the nice scenery to ride in.
