I took some photos at the monthly bikers gathering last summer and finally have the chance to post some of them.

Every first Thursday of the month riders gather at a restaurant called Dulanos (minneapolis).
It's usually a good time and you can see just about any kind of bike there. They usually have about 500 or so bikes show up. The gatherings are from about 6:30-9:00.

These are some of the bikes I felt were interesting.
Enjoy.

HERE'S A BIKE THAT WAS BUILT BY SEARS

"BULBULOUS"(sp) was the first word that came to my mind when I saw it. :cwm27:

Nice selection of bikes. I love looking at the old stuff and the unique. Thanks for the pictures.

The Scooter guy should get a licence plate that says, "BLINDSPOT".

 

[DyMag996]

Yeah, I think that the scooter guy has his rear covered!

I think I sat a drooled obsesively over the bike with blue flame for about twenty minutes that day :grin:. Then I went and had a beer.

His blind spots are all in front, behind the mirrors.

Man the extras that one puts into a bike always amazes me. For some reason I liked the old rackety looking one, you know, kind of reminiscent of the day.

how fitting that these are in front of a dumpster

I believe that is a Ducati Monster :smile:

 

[wingswheels]

all those mirrors seriously cut down on your ability to split lanes

You know, the Sears bike doesn't really surprise me. A friend of mine used to have a Sears 12 gauge shotgun. The barrel flew off once when I fired it, so I never used it again.

But I wonder, is there anything Sears didn't make (or sell with their name on it)?

[/ QUOTE ] It's a Ducati Monster with a bunch of aftermarket parts. It was impressive and I believe it was for sale.

NOVOS: I was going to make the same comment but, I figured someone here would catch it. :grin:

[/ QUOTE ] NO offense to anyone but, you can see the usual bikes anytime, just about anywhere. (mine included)
That was the reason I took photos of the "unusual" or rare bikes. :waytogo:

The gatherings are amazing. You rarely see such a wide variety of bikes on the street together. Everyone walks around and admires/chats with everyone!

Sears even sold cars in the early 1950s. The "Allstate" was simply a rebadged Kaiser Henry J.

I would love to know how that Bimota runs, I also liked the Ducati monster :grin:

The Bimota DB2 uses the 900cc 2-valve, air cooled Ducati motor found in the mid-90s Ducati 900SS.
