Piston and Pints Extravaganza

October 27, 2013 by Scooter in the Sticks 13 Comments

I’m one lazy blogger and when I catch up it can often mean a boatload of photos with little text, description or commentary.  Such is the case with some images of a Piston and Pints gathering from earlier this month AND images made today at the final moto hang cookout.

Couldn’t resist photographing the tank on this vintage Royal Enfield.  How often do you get to see one anymore.  The rider, I did have his name written down somewhere along with all the technical details about the bike, rode in from Beford, Pennsylvania, about 90 minutes south.  Along with the Enfield he had some other vintage British bikes.  Perhaps sometime in the future we’ll have the chance to see them.

Paul Ruby interrogates, I mean interviews the owner of the Enfield…

Another vintage bike — a Harley Davidson that doesn’t rattle your fillings when it goes by.

Early in the evening.  Ken Hull’s trials bike in the foreground.  Looks uncomfortable for long trips.

A Triumph and a Vespa.  Doesn’t get much better than that.

Piston and Pints executive board and think tank members stand aside and ponder deep thoughts.

Always at least one two-stroke machine at the event.  The sound reminds me of my youth…

Romance or just jostling for position to admire the Royal Enfield???

Ken Hull leads Mario towards his first ride on a full sized motorcycle (I think).

I should have shot video.  The results — Mario was ripping around the yard and then off down the alley.  Not sure I saw him return…

I’ll end this group with “a good time was had by all…”

October 26 Moto Hang Party

Hot Italian sausage from Hogs Galore was on the menu today along with a host of other fine foods.  Ken is just beginning to get things going…

A lot of pictures, it’s late, I’m tired, so I will just post them here.  Visit the Scooter in the Sticks Facebook page if you need to share or tag pictures.  I think that’s how it works.

Mike Mohney at the Moto-Hang.  He rides the only two-stroke Cafe Racer style bike at Pistons and Pints.  I’m hoping to start making more portraits of the riders.

Piston and Pints — the August 1, 2013 version

August 14, 2013 by Scooter in the Sticks 2 Comments

With the next episode of Piston and Pints arriving tomorrow evening at I thought I should share the images I made from the last event.  I could only stay a short time so the variety of pictures isn’t what it could be.

Members get younger all the time. Mario is learning how to ride on Ken’s 90cc dirt bike.

For those of you who’ve not attended I’ll share Ken’s email invitation:

Greetings Moto Enthusiasts!

This Thursday August 15th, is Moto Hang Thursday! We’ll start early this week at 5:30pm to allow for Wing Fest. Everyone is welcome to hang at The Shack and then head to Tussey later if they want. This week they’re featuring Ted and the Hi-Fi’s! In my opinion, one of the best bands around! But I’m not sure if I’ll be going – as your host, I don’t really like cutting out.

I’m excited to host our wonderful event again this week and hope you’re excited to come! Spread the word, and let’s see if we can break the record for attendance! I believe the record stands at 42 bikes!

See you at Ken’s Moto Shack & Lounge!

MAP TO THE SHACK

Ride On!
Ken

And now the rest of the photos…
