Last week, was Motorcycle First Thursday in Minneapolis. My WR250R is back in riding condition again thanks to new tires and battery, so I took it down to the event.
I expected it to be quite busy with the holiday weekend and beautifully warm weather. Most of the people I know had Friday, July 3rd off, so it was a nice night to be out.
I met some new friends and some old ones walking around looking at the motorcycles.
Quite a few people showed up, an as usual, there was a good mix of different kinds of motorcycles and people.
This was one of the few sidecars I saw this month. A Suzuki G850GS. I was in nice shape. I wanted to ride it. There was also a Ural that showed up later in the evening.
This Super Tenere looked a bit strange to me. Everything nice, new, and modern. Then it had an old leather case on the front.
A very colorful Suzuki rat bike. I like the upside down Suzuki name badge. There was also a preserved moth on the tachometer. The picture of the moth didn’t turn out.
A couple mopeds sporting American Flags.
A Benelli scooter
A Wards Riverside scooter
An Allstate Compact scooter.
A cool BSA gas tank
A dual engine Harley dragster.
A close up of the drive components. Looks complicated. There is a bottle of NOS just in the corner of the frame as well.
A V4 2-stroke Suzuki. I would have loved to hear this one fire up.
An interesting trike with an inline 4 engine.
A Ducati with knobby tires. That isn’t something you see every day.
A gas powered bicycle. I think the engine would come in handy going up some of the large hills around here.
It was a good time as usual seeing all the motorcycles and chatting with lots of different people about bikes.
Which is your favorite from the photos above?
