You find the coolest things here


































I thought I might have lost my touch for being a little kookie...Mike and the kids and I were coming home from dinner tonight and we drove by this house with 2 guys in the garage just kickin' back chatting but with an awesome looking motorcycle inside. I told Mike I have to get a picture of that, because it reminds me of everything WI. I chickened out at first, we drove to Mike's parents to return something and Mike said "go back, get a picture" so I drove back and still I chickened out. I came back and Mike said "you will regret this" so finally I mustered up the nerve to drive over by myself and walk up to the two guys and tell them I was making a movie and I would love to get a picture of them outside the garage. The guys were a little surprised but willing and they ended up taking me in the garage and low and behold there were some of the most awesome motorcycles I've ever seen. I'm attaching pictures of some of the best. The Red Rocket with the sidecar is one of only 5 ever made, and the last one won a prize and it is a Yamaha and the competition was all Harley's. Come to find out the man who lives there was featured in our local paper. The picture with the Radio Flyer wagon is actually an attachment he made for one of his motorcycles to take his dog for a ride. The real story is, Jeff Arndt makes BMX bikes that look like motorcycles like OC Choppers. His informal company name is Outagamie County Choppers. Next he wants to makes twisted trykes for twisted tykes, he wants to make tricycles for 3 year olds.

By the way, it was getting chilly tonight for the first time with fabulous thunder storms.
