That's what I got. Enjoy!

(Sorry there's no girly pics like Tri's MotoGP trip. I was dissapointed as well...I would have taken them if they were there.)

The "HogSlayer III" - looks like three Norton engines. I'm not old enough to be familiar with it, but looks fun!


Owned by T.C. Christensen.

Two years ago a bunch of us were riding up to Rockerbox. We were really taking our time going up the scenic Sheridan Road way. But we started too late and it was a bunch of stop and go. It looked like we would never make it and I was on a time crunch because I had to work later that day. Then, sure enough, one guy's clutch cable broke. He was a newbie so there was no way he was going to be able to ride without it. (He was also a know-it-all and actually diagnosed it as an electrical problem.) Now, not only was I not going to make it to Rockerbox, I was probably also not going to make it to work on time.

As luck would have it, we were only a few blocks away from T.C.'s shop in Kenosha. We were lucky to catch him because he was on his way out to Rockerbox himself. Not only did he delay his trip to help us, he actually made a new cable for the guy, and I don't think he even charged us! ... The best part was that we actually got to ride to Rockerbox with him and his buddies. My buddy Stan and I were like "man we've been draggin ass with these guys and we need to get there quick". Holy crap he got us there in no-time. We blew up 94 doing about 94.

His shop was unreal. He had the first two Hogslayers...old multi-engine Nortons. looking at them blew my mind. There was a Dyno built into the floor that had a Corvette sitting on it. The shop had tons of old Brit-bikes and memorabelia. I recommend anyone going through Kenosha make a stop there.

Haha oil stain under the carpet. That bike is like a woman. Every time you get done riding them they always spew oil from under the carpet. Nowadays they still spew oil but no carpet.
Hey Double Dub too bad you didn't let me know you would be there. You missed a picture of the best looking slightly non stock kz there. I will post. Also riding by me was a pristine z1r non-turbo but by the time I whipped out the camera and fired her up she was gonnnnne and that black carpet ride. That bike was a hunk a shite. All of those kz 900 -1000s there were looking like eat up chewed up and spit out. I called the lynch mob. They are looking for the owners of those bikes. Kaw abuse isn't taken lightly in Wisconsin I hear.
OldKowsForever threw a rod through the case in his Kow. I feel bad. Too much abuse for that poor old bike. We were doing upwards of 85. Too bad I don't have a real speedo to tell me exactly but my r's were up around 7-8 most of the time.
The ride back was really sweet. I got a super video of a badass cuda if someone can show me how to upload this I will do it. Plus I will put up pics tomorrow. Peace.

Sax - I looked for the bike in your avatar and didn't find it anywhere. I looked for Sean's 750 Cafe also, but didn't find it. Not sure if you guys parked inside the ropes or not. We'll have to make sure we hook up some other time.

Did he seriously put a rod through his case? Any idea what failed yet?

I use Windows Movie Maker to upload videos to YouTube. Once it's uploaded, just paste the link into a post and it auto-magically embeds the video into your post.
