Minnesota Ride on Sunday

Post by BuddyLove »

There is a Hecks Angels ride scheduled for this coming Sunday
(November 10th) at 1:00PM leaving from the Longfellow Grill on Lake
and River Road. Summit Beer will be there to video part of the ride for their website.

It's supposed to be nice out...The ride is 50cc friendly, doing the parkways and such. Should be a good time.

I think they can only say 20 people but I dont think anyone would be turned away. It should be a good time, so if you are free you should come anyway!

I agree. Besides, half of the people that say they're going to be there never show up. AND Summit Brewing is going to be there with video cameras to film the group.

If I make it, I'll be on an old (87) 250 honda elite.

Looks like a good time.
At least two Buddys showed up, and a plethora of Stellas.

Thanks to Buddylove for posting this. I went for the ride with this group of misfits, I had fun.

A couple of shots from Saturday. (and yes, the elite in the second pic is mine)

I'm guessing this is a Fireball?

That is indeed the venerable (?) Stella Fireball. A factory custom stickered version of Stellas worldwide.

I think the whitewalls were part of the package too.

Maybe some other stuff, but I don't know.

The Atomic Fireball Stella was the second model of Special Edition Stellas.
The flames and Ferrara Pan stickers were part of the package. The whitewalls were not. Fireballs also had taller gearing to allow them to cruise at higher speeds. They also feature a tray above the glove box.

I'm still riding too, but I doubt the group will be riding much now which is what I was referring to. :)
Although I met step it up a notch and start wearing snow pants...it gets a little chilly going from st. Paul to Minneapolis.
