If you’ve ever wrenched on a bike in your bedroom- you can relate to the pain of Minnesota chopper builders. But the shorter the riding season, the longer the building season and the better the bikes become.
On a hot day in the middle of July- the upper midwest scene gets together in St. Paul to show off what they’ve been working on. This is the Full Tilt Boogie. Bikes, vans, music and good times abound. Tons of vintage Harley-Davidsons like Panheads, Knuckleheads, Shovelheads, and Ironheads make an appearance.
We got the chance to interview Bobby Good Times about his Knucklehead survivor chopper known as Blow Dozer. Kevin “Teach” Baas is a legend in the Minnesota custom vintage motorcycle scene. He talked with us about his 1939 Knucklehead and his chopper class for high schoolers. Devin Millett made a killer hardtailed Sportster chopper using a Throttle Addiction hardtail kit. Zac Doom gives us a tour of his van, talks about the founding of the show and why he started Heavy Clothing. Seth from Throttle Addiction gives us a rundown on the War Horse, a classy Evo Big Twin chopper that they built then gave away. In addition to these interviews there are tons of great choppers, bobbers and we filmed and even some vans! Enjoy!
