Rockers Spring Social, June 2024

The 2024 Rockers Spring Social was Sunday, June 2nd at the Eagles #34 in Minneapolis.

The weather was cloudy and breezy but the rain held off long enough to not spoil the event.  I've been attending this even for over 10 years now (blogposts here) and it's always a great mix of bikes with an emphasis on European & Japanese cafe racers.



Cliff's 4-wheeler made its debut in the WTF class.  He always shows up with cool stuff.






This scooter looks innocent & fun from the front but packs a surprise in the rear (pic further below).




The handmade awards are always very cool:










I debuted my own bike here.  It certainly wasn't a cafe racer, but it's the Schwinn Stingray project I've been working on for a few months.  I'll need to post a write-up on the build process later.  While it didn't take home an award in the 150cc and under class, it definitely got a lot of attention.



Supermodified was one of the bands to play the event.



This panhead would go on to take home an award.









As mentioned above, here's the surprise on the back of that pink scooter... a giant bottle of NOS.







Bubbles!





Prepping for the award ceremony:

There were a lot of small engine bikes and mopeds, not to mention all the scooters.

Another shot of my Stingray.  I still have a few small things to tweak but I'm really happy with how it turned out.



Cliff took home an award for his 4-wheeler.

Overall, it was a good time as always.  If you missed it, go check it out next year!
