|  Scaler Crawling in Duluth
Kwapi and the Stalker took the Honcho's out again. We had a blast. We walked up the hill from Sky Line to enger tower and back. I will need new tires if we drive that much every time we go out. I heard that Flat Irons are not good.....I think they are awesome. We had these Honchos going up step rock climbs, mud, running water, snow. I was impressed all day with these trucks and tires. http://s673.photobucket.com/albums/v...0March%202010/ Here are some pics. I am planning on having an event in this spot this year. |

| Yeah I knew it was you out there.....
The duck tape on the and flat gray primer gave you away not to mention the lack of any smoke off the tires. I heard a little bais ply tire spinning like it was in snow. Quote:

That tape is factory. It gets flat around 40 years. That was clutch dust by the way and I'll have more for ya when I get done tweaking the dizzy. Didn't see you at the vintage run.. Speed scare ya away? |

| There are many more locations are here.
Duluth is built on and around rocks...across the bridge it is all sand in Wisconsin. Two Harbors has a great spot for scalers or comp rigs also. It is a beach that is no less than 2 miles of rock shore line.....we are going to have to go there for a scaler event this summer also. I will put some more pics of our spots when we run them. Your welcome to come up and run with us any time. Quote:

I'm glad to see the scalers start to get organized in Minnesota I will definatly make a effortto get something going for 2011. Love the whole North Shore I lived on the Range for many years during the iron ore boom of the 70's. |
