Moto Hang Approaches
Last evening I rode past the Moto Hang lounge in Boalsburg. No one around. Just the poster on the barn door suggesting things to come.
The next gathering will be this Wednesday evening at 5:30pm on September 7, 2016. With cool weather ahead there won’t be many more Moto Hangs this season.
I’ve been lax in posting pictures. Here are a few from the last one I attended. Got there late — a lot of people had already departed. I keep thinking I would like to do a portrait project of the people who attend. Not sure if anyone would be interested in enduring the gaze of the camera. Not sure if I have the time and energy right now to follow through.
So here’s a look at the last gathering in Boalsburg, Pennsylvania.
A lot more riders are showing up these days. The gravel alley behind the shack fills up fast so there’s a lot of overflow along Academy Street.
Ken Hull, founder of the Moto Hang, caught by the camera during the evening.
Mike Mohney shows up with his two-stroke Yamaha cafe style racer. His machine is just one of many unique machines at the Moto Hang.
Like I said, got there late and everyone was starting to head home. Still had the chance to talk with a lot of riders. If you have the time it’s worth stopping by — an eclectic mix of motorcycles and scooters.
So mark your calendars:

Something tells me you will try and get there a little earlier this year.
I’ll try, but can never predict my work schedule and other commitments lately.
You know, there’s something you can do to make “work schedule” go away…
Yeah, I’m going to probably do that.
There is a way to eliminate the “work schedule” issue…
Suspect Steve’s work schedule right now is far more hectic than normal.
And with his vertical support structure not entirely happy, just about any movement is no doubt painful; sometimes more often, than not.
Working in an office where you have to move around and also sit at times,
probably has him rethinking his moves for the next while.
Boalsburg probably
means you have to “stand around,” which with a sore back can be OK for a bit, however eventually a sit-down is required.
Hopefully all will be OK
My schedule will continue to grow more hectic through the fall and into winter. Sometime next spring I suspect things will begin to calm down a bit. As far as my back goes — I predict I’ll be in good shape in another week.
I’ve been moving about more and using a standing desk. That helps. Sitting is a recipe for disaster right now. I just try to keep stretching and changing things up.
Steve, your Moto Hang portrait project idea is intriguing: maybe mugshot style–a face and a profile–with a short bio?… Surely there’s more than one criminal attending these things. 😉
That’s exactly what I’d like to do but I just never take the step. Don’t think there are any criminals in attendance. At least not that I know of. I would probably have to fictionalize things to create a collection of mythic characters.
I wish I could go! I’ll be finding myself in Pittsburgh in October of all places. It looks like I will be flying back a day before another hang. Too bad, I really wish there was something like this out in Vegas. I don’t think this is a good town for “things”, though.
Las Vegas to Pittsburgh. You being punished? That’s a big switch.
You need to start something like it in Vegas! Have a great trip.
