The Slimey Crud Run

I went on a run yesterday for the first time called "The Slimey Crud Run". It was a warm sunny day and everyone was ready and willing to talk about their bikes. There were over 1000 bikes there and there was something for everyone. Harley, Honda, Norton, BSA, Triumph - mostly old and really cool! It's something that I'll definitely have on the calendar for next year!


To see the official video from the newspaper and hear about the history of the Crud Run, check it out here:

I noticed that One True Media kinda makes the pictures a bit blurry. To see better copies of my photos, you can see them here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2013522&id=1041451199&l=4d6cab6d79

Ditto Ms. M's comment. Now it's my turn to envy your weather. It's raining here like all get out! They're even talking rain thru Saturday, and of course Sunday is Mother's Day, so I may not be riding again 'till the weekend after next. Arrrghhh!

Looks like an awesome day! I know your glad to be puttin' around on two again.

Old bikes always look like have such a story behind them, if only they could tell you.

Thanks for taking us along.

1000 bikes...oh crap...hold on, I gotta mop up here with the smash rag.

I had to run through it a few times just to check out some of the bikes.

All bikes are good. Some of the most interesting events have all sorts of makes and models around to look at. Glad you were able to get in on and out. Feels goooooood.

Love old bikes.

Glad you were able to get out! I've been doing some riding myself. Looks like this weekend might be another weekend in the wind. (After Mother's Day brunch) of course!

Yep, it was great to get out! Beautiful day with loads of bikes riding the country hills of central Wisconsin - What else could I want?

Dave - The variety of bikes definitely made it interesting. We're around Harleys so much that I think we forget about some of the other really cool bikes out there.

Willy D - Old? I prefer well seasoned.
