Gophers and Cheese

July was another fun bike night at Forgotten Star , hosted by The Litas Twin Cities .

Time to wrap up coverage from Twin City Vans  49th Annual Good Times Truck-In!  Here are some final photos of the Show & Shine lineup taken from the top of the grandstand.

Continuing coverage from Twin City Vans 49th Annual Good Times Truck-in.  We now rejoin the show-and-shine... already in progress... :)

Twin City Vans hosted our 49th Annual Good Times Truck-In in Albert Lea, MN in June 2026.  It was my 5th time attending and 4th as a member of TCV.  This is a closeup photo of the souvenir T-shirt I bought (artwork by Aurora).

Heavy Thursday returned to Litt Pinball Bar in uptown Minneapolis in June 2026.  It started off very wet, but the sun came out and the bands went on as planned. Zac rode up in the rain. The rain meant bike night was off to a slow start but it didn't keep everyone away. I see a rainbow! There's the sun! American Muscle's van: American Muscle They played using (and licking, sorry no pics) some of Psychic Vampire's equipment. Psychic Vampire : There's no Heavy Thursday in July, just Full Tilt Boogie .  Don't miss it!!!

The Rockers Spring Social was hosted by Ton-Up Minneapolis at the Eagles #34 in Minneapolis on June 7, 2026.  There was a good turnout in spite of some threatening storms.

The weather was beautiful and the resulting turnout was huge for June's bike night at Forgotten Star , hosted by The Litas Twin Cities .

Heavy Thursday kicked off its series of 2026 bike nights at 331 Club in Northeast Minneapolis.  This bike night moves around so you need to follow Heavy and pay attention to where it will be each month.  I rode my 2004 Sportster.  Later this year, this bike and I will be celebrating 20 years together, which is crazy.  Time flies!

The first bike night of the year was on Cinco de Mayo at Forgotten Star , hosted by The Litas Twin Cities .  Sadly, there were no tacos to be found but it was the big release of their beer, Margalitas, and there was live music and lots of bikes so I suppose I'll forgive them.  I brought my Harley-DavidSchwinn chopper bicycle and parked it right up front.
