Ok folks Strange Days is around the bend in good ol northern NJ, its been a busy couple weeks
getting ready but its finally here and its goin to be a blast!!! So were still goin to be kicking off the morning of July 23 and the forecast is high 80s and mostly sunny!! 20 dollar admission per person but if you show up wit your lady on the back of the moon machine well wave her charge.

Their will be a food truck on site selling hot dogs, burgers, etc for a good price. We do have a limited supply of PBRs so we recommend BYOB and dont worry their is liquor stores, bars, auto parts, hardware stores and food with in a couple minutes of our location and they are all listed on our site maps thanks to Cal.

Remember we are partying and camping in a feild and their is a tree line for shade so be ready for anything and lets get in touch with nature.Also we are renting this land from a a local farmer and he made it a strong point not to tear up his property so we do have to be respectful. Thanks to our sponsors we have tons of goodies that will be handed out from a custom painted gas tank from 313 paint, stainless sissy bar from the retro fit crew, biltwell helmet, death science taillight and tons of other free goodies!!!

Their are 3 bands playing from mid afternoon to 11pm, the main act is Uncle Shoe Horn who is a Grateful Dead tribute band and they will be playing their tasty licks while the sun sets over the green rolling hills of NJ and as the bonfire lights for the night to get strange.

wicked sissy bar that one lucky person will get!!

The Raffle Tank

Here she is.  I thought the tank was going to be a surprise but what do I know!  Come win this thing!

It would definitely be wild to see a bike rockin' this tank in the future!  Thanks again for your generosity Chris!

Thanks!

Huge thanks to everyone that's been helping out so far, shit just keeps getting better;  and with only 2 weeks to go until Strange Days, we definitely need all the help we can get!  We'll keep you posted on the details so you know what to expect, so check back often.

Mike Clarke sent over this nice array of Show Class and Death Science stuff yesterday.  Thanks to Tim for hooking it up.

Bill's generous Chop Cult and Biltwell package deserves a repost. 

Chris Morris has been more than kind enough to paint up this axed tank to give away to a lucky person.  The paint will remain a surprise, but thanks to Mike at 47 Industries for the work he did, and Chris at 313 Paint for the spray talents!

Cal, Joe, and Benny from Retrofit are whipping up a stainless sissy bar to give away to a lucky winner as well.  Fuckin' good shit!

Steve Nilsen at Pabst hooked it up big time with banners, hats, cozies, matchbooks, pins, and most importantly:  beer!

Camp!

Gorgeous scenery everywhere you look.

Stick it to the man

Well the cops came to my place tonight; I guess they don't appreciate Neil Young and explosions.  I hope Strange Days doesn't attract the fuzz.

Welcome to the motorhome.

Celebrate

Good times this weekend on your freedom machines.

To Hell With Tomorrow, Our Bag Is Today

After hitting the local bike night, tonight should be fun with some polishing, chopper movies, and some devil in a bottle.  I was going to sell one of the Finch lights, keep one, and make some profit, but there's no way I can part with one and separate the pair.

Joe gave us a little history on this picture tonight, and man it doesn't get any fuckin cooler, let me tell ya! 

Cal's just carrying on family tradition like a pro, and man his Sportster rules!

Get weird.

Rigid Frank #3

Rigid Frank #2

Someone on the Jockeyjournal snagged this perfect picture of a perfect bike.

Born Free Universal Rigid

I saw this Born Free 3 pic on the Dice blog, http://dicemagazine.blogspot.com/.  See the fender on that gorgeous gray pan?  It's the universal rigid Crazy Frank flat fender!  Man, you never ever see these things, and to see one used on such a beautiful build, instead of on a shelf, made my day.  That seat really is perfect too.  Damn, fuckin cool shit.  I need some more pictures of this bike; if anyone has any info or pics, hit me up: dripshovel@gmail.com

Electric Kool-Aid Soft Parade Rickey Farm Liquid Light

Turn on.

Ride in.

Camp out.

Good Shit Going Down...

First off, things are coming together on the narrowed 41mm front end.  Just have to get the internals and figure out a headlight setup and what type of spacing will be required on the wheel.  Gotta love those '49-only top caps.  Ken's also got some 4" over 35mm tubes in the works for his shovel.

Out of nowhere, Cal's ironhead turned into a '70's dream this weekend!  It's actually really crazy that he had the tank, I had the fender, we realized it, and reunited these two the way they were meant to be!

Definitely will be more info on this topic here:  http://captcals.blogspot.com/

If anyone's feelin' strange and gets an urge, they can be super cool and print out this 8x10 flyer!

Not really sure why I think Rip Van Winkle is so cool.

Great weekend once again, and Strange Days is just over one month away!

Rhinebeck Swap #2

This old knuck had to be my favorite bike of the weekend; perfect in every way.

Sounded as good as it looks cruising by.

Evel stunts.

I did pretty well on the parts side of things, but the pair of old Finch pawn lights were my main score.

Overall this weekend was a fuckin blast.  Our bikes did not let us down, we drank enough for a month, people hit jumps, and the rain held out for the ride home.  Couldn't ask for more.  It's always good seeing familiar faces, hanging with friends, and making new ones.  Check these good dudes out:  http://paradisechoppers.com/

Rhinebeck AMCA Swap 2011

Patty sitting on her first big twin while waiting for Ken to get his bike fixed and arrive, so we could hit the road.

The ride there was beautiful and the bikes ran good; then we met up with the early crew, set up camp, got the beers flowing, and started rummaging through parts!

Billy rolled in with some carb troubles on his Ironhead, but they were quickly taken care of with all the readily available parts.  This would prove to be minor compared to his stunt later in the night...

The bikes love socializing.

Gorgeous knuckle chop built back in the day.

Ken's shovel parked in the chopper show.

Strange Happenings

Topher's goin' at it!  313 Paint is rockin' and rollin' on the raffle tank, and I can't wait to see what's in store for our eyes and minds when this thing's done!

I scored these little beauties to top off my dream front end. 

Two awesome bands that are booked so far for Stange Days:  Uncle Shoehorn, and Meat Planet.  This is guaranteed to be a great time.
