RENTALS-
GOTTA LOVE A GOOD BEATING OF A RENTAL CAR. IT'S FUN TO DRIVE DOWN RAMPS WITH A CAMERA IN ONE HAND AND THE STEERING WHEEL IN THE OTHER. TREAT'EM RIGHT, BEAT ON'EM BEFORE YOU EVER GET TO AN ACTUAL ROAD-
Sluggo's Ironhead
This is the best pic I could find of my brothers Ironhead chopper. He's had to have owned this thing for close to 15 years now. Rigid, sprung seat, trailer fender, mid controls, coffin tank, long ass springer front end, crazy trail, drag bars, no front brake, amf - swapped brake/shifter setup...hardcore and cool.

The Run.....
This years Violation Tour run will consist of a slab of road that we cruised on last year. For you new guys you will have to search the blog when it first began to see the pics. We will leave Savanna IL early Saturday morning and head north on the backroads of Illinois to New Diggins WI. We will not be stopping in New Diggins for any other reason except for gas. From our gas stop we will head southwest to Anamosa Iowa to the Motorcycle Museum. I have been there once and it was really fuckin cool and I think everyone will enjoy it. We will be leaving Anamosa heading south to a bar thats right by the sutliffe bridge in Lisbon Iowa to get some lunch. After a late lunch we will ride directly East and North along the mighty Mississippi River back to Savanna where it will be a free for all. Approximate mileage should be around 200-250 miles. I will plan the gas stops for dudes like me who have small tanks. Should be a good solid run. I will be heading out to the Savannah area in May to scout out the roads and do a dry run. Cant wait. Also, I know some of you guys have the old directions from last year.... if you have the time to email me those that would be a big help. Thanks!
Score!!
I went to the Chicago Swap meet at McCormick yesterday and scored some early Horse mags. Issues 1-27 are mine!!!! Back before the rag jumped the shark. Dont be jealous I plan on gettin a scanner so I can start scanning some pics and articles from some of the early issues.
MOVIES, ONE OF THE FEW THINGS GOOD TO COME OUT OF THE '80's
TODAY I WAS WATCHING AN OLD MOVIE WITH MY SPECIAL LADY FRIEND. IT WAS AN OLD ONE I'VE SEEN MANY, MANY TIMES, "LOOK WHO'S TALKING". AND WE GET TO THE SECENE WHEN JONH TRAVOLTA LOOKS AT KIRSTIE ALLEY AND SAYS "YOU MAKE MY MOUTH WATER" WITH A THICK NEW YORK ACCENT AND GIVES HER A KISS AND IMMEDIATELY SHOVES HER FACE AWAY. NOW I'VE DONE THAT EXACT MOVE MORE THAN A FEW TIMES TO MY SPECIAL LADY FRIEND, AND AS SOON AS WE GET THROUGH THAT SCENE, I GET A PUNCH IN THE ARM, AND I'M LAUGHING BECAUSE I ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT'S FOR.
I'M REALIZING HOW MUCH OF AN INFLUENCE '80's MOVIES, AND EARLY '90's MOVIES FOR THAT MATTER, HAD ON ME GROWING UP. RANDOM QUOTES ARE SAID, AND EVEN MY ACTIONS. NOW I KNOW MY PARENTS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR RAISING ME AS A KID, BUT THEY HAD LOTS OF HELP FROM AN EXTRA HAND KNOWN ONLY AS HBO-
HERE IS MY TOP TWENTY LIST FOR THE BEST '80's MOVIES.
1st PLACE IS A THREE-WAY TIE BETWEEN
2 GHOSTBUSTERS-
