Bands for VIOLATION TOUR

Trying to raise a little more money for the bands BLACK ACTRESS and LORD (Chicago) who are playing the Friday night of Violation Tour in Savannah, IL. If anyone wants to make a donation send it to cokrocker@hotmail.com. Any help is appreciated. 

We also might be doing another press of VT shirts. Let us know if you still need one and if we have enough interest we will print them. Get your bike out on those last shake down runs and get ready for another year of Violation Tour.

Mark your calendars. June 7-9th

VIOLATION TOUR starts in the river town of Savanna, IL on Friday night (June 7th) where we meet, drink and camp for free. BLACK ACTRESS and LORD will be playing next door to the Iron Horse in downtown Savannah on Friday night. We leave in the morning and head north into Wisconsin all on scenic back roads for around 230 miles. We follow the Mississippi for a little while and then ride east through some state parks and we end up camping on private land in Mauston, WI. Please be self sufficient as we WILL NOT have a chase truck. If you brake down we will try to help out. For all you guys with small tanks we will stop every 60 miles for gas. All makes and models welcome just leave the egos at home. Open to anyone.

Breaking News!!!!

Violation Tour Research and Development team of Chris and Chris took one for the team this past weekend and got probed my Officer Unfriendly. Although, I think he was just jealous that he wasnt cruising around in a sweet machine.

In all seriousness, we headed west to Savanna to smooth things over with Jerry and to finalize the details for Friday nights VT party. Jerry is one gracious host and is helping out with putting the bands up with a place to stay and some good eats. After a much needed brewski and a ticket from the po po we ran up north to pick up a super secret motorcycle for Slims new chopper project. All in all it was a productive day and the El Camino ran good despite the horrible gas mileage.

We proudly present Chicago's very own Black Actress to headline the show on Friday night at a new bar in Savanna IL called the Man Cave.

Lockdown Bar, 6 over, Revenge Run, Dark Horse & Violation Tour

Big thanks to everyone who came out last night and supported what we are doing. It was nice meeting some new peeps. Unfortunately, I dont remember much after Lockdown. I didnt snap really any photos since I was busy gettin my swerve on..

Thanks to my partner in crime Slim Chris...without this dude, this event would have never happened. Sorry for the puke again :(

Thanks everyone who sent us stuff to raffle off.

Anyways, hope to see you all on the run in June!!

New Paint

My good friend Darryl Rotten from www.lostcauseengineering.blogspot up in Madison, WI did a really amazing paintjob on my chopper tank. I gave him some photos on one that I already kinda liked and the colors I wanted and he did a really badass job on it. If you need something painted get ahold of Darryl through the blog. Thanks again dude, it means alot to have ya paint this.

TONIGHT Chicago

 

VIOLATION TOUR and DARK HORSE present a viewing of 2 motorcycle documentaries.

First up.

6OVER The Movie.
Trailer at http://vimeo.com/28742074
A film about 6 people who love and build motorcycles. Not much else to say really except that it has taken a lot of heart and soul from Michael Schmidt, Davey Cooperwasser, Matt & Dean at DiCE and everyone that is in this film...Jeremiah Armenta (Love Cycles), Kim Boyle (BCM), Eddie Cleveland (Chun), Caleb Owens (Cro Customs), Max Schaaf (4Q), and Jason Webber (ATR).

then

REVENGE RUN III
Death Science and Malvista Productions Presents the Revenge Run, from start to finish. This run was born from an idea that friends on the East Coast and specifically the Southeast should have a run to call their own. Starting in Rocky Mount, NC and winding through the NC lowlands, the run is the kind of life event most people desire, but few experience. Crashes, engine mishaps, surprises, shakedown runs, pabst blue ribbon, cookouts, bonfires, island hopping on a motorcycle, roadside fixes, it's all here. If you've never experienced blazing down a narrow island 90 miles from land, ocean on either side of you and riding in a pack of 100 or so choppers, then I truly feel sorry for you. As far as feelings go, it's a pretty good one.

Thursday, February 28th
FILMS START AT 9PM.
Lockdown 1024 N. Western, Chicago

We will also be raffling off stuff from BILTWELL, LOWBROW CUSTOMS, SHOW CLASS, LOW SIDE, SATANIC MECHANIC, GARAGE CUSTOMS, DICE magazine and CHAOS RIDER.

Getting the itch to build something again. I think I can find a first gen Virago for under 1k easy. Total budget build. Maybe try to do something for under 3k. Anyways, been coming across some pretty cool Viragos on the interweb. Thought I would share
