After watching Flat Out Friday live streaming last night, I think I was inspired to get outside and ride.  I carved a track in the backyard with my snowthrower, put my studded tire on the Evil Monkey, and had a blast.  My daughter took the riding photos.

The Mama Tried Motorcycle Show isn't just a bike show, it's a full weekend experience.  When you consider the show itself, Flat Out Friday, a visit to the Harley-Davidson Museum, multiple concerts, and ice riding on Slippery Sunday (weather permitting... and it did not cooperate last year), you really can't ask for more.  I'm bummed I'm missing it this year but I hope everyone that attends has a blast.  The last few years will be hard to beat, but the show seems to get better every year.  Have fun everyone!  I'll leave you with some photos of One (Metallica tribute) and Weedeater at last year's show.

These guys were so good.

Pushin' and shovin' in the pit (Rave security was not amused):

Weedeater was fun to photograph.  The facial expressions are fantastic.

Bottle's empty?  Show's over.

Have fun at Mama Tried this weekend!!!

Wrapping up my photo coverage of last year's Mama Tried Motorcycle Show.  This year's show is only a few days away!

Details, details, and more details...

This thing looks so much fun:

Nice custom badge:

Something about rodents & motorcycles...

I didn't forget about the concerts... One (Metallica tribute) was awesome and Weedeater was an experience.  Those photos are up next.

Bypass the long lines by purchasing your advance tickets for Flat Out Friday and Mama Tried before the party begins this weekend. We want to thank Benny Stucker for covering the mayhem for us. Expect a full feature soon!

Lots more photos from Mama Tried 2018. If you're anywhere near Milwaukee, the 2019 show is this weekend!

Biltwell brought their dual-sportster:

So many awesome details on this bike:

Chvrch!

Rear fender done right.  I love this:

Amy's bike (built by Kevin):

Forget Bondo... I'm pretty sure this bike was made of saltwater taffy:

Nice use of satin paint:

I'll finish up Mama Tried 2018 coverage tomorrow with one giant post full of motorcycles and concert pics.
