Threw the Vespa in the back of my Jeep and headed south to Madrid for Labor Day to spend some time with Boonie and Beth.

Some shots from the annual scooter rally as well as The Lucky Bastards "Messaround" hot rod show at Memory Lanes. Registration was Friday at Spring Street Tavern in NE Mpls and included Le Cirque Rouge cabaret and burlesque show downstairs at Club Underground. The long ride started Saturday morning at Yarusso's in St Paul and ended back at Scooterville after a pit stop at Psycho Suzi's Motor Lounge for a bite to eat. There were a couple more short rides on Sunday that I ended up bailing out on due to heavy rain.

Three days filled with great music and fun in Chicago with Swanson and Alex.

Took "Best in Show", Scooter category (sshhhh... don't tell anyone I was the only scooter that entered..) at the First Annual Bearded Lady Motorcycle Freak Show at Diamonds Coffee Shop on Central Ave in NE Mpls Saturday July 22.
The Brass Kings were on stage.

After party that night at 331 Club included entertainment by Le Cirque Rouge cabaret and burlesque show, fire eaters/dancers, flamenco dancers, music from Jehovah's Shitlist, and a winner's circle of bikes and freaks.
