Nauti-Hawg

As mentioned previously, for 2012 we have a new calendar to offer classic bike buffs. In addition to the Triumph calendar we’ve published for something like 15 years, we now have a Norton calendar. Using a format similar to our Triumph calendar, the Norton calendar measures 16 inches across and 24 inches top to bottom when fully open. This year’s bikes include classics like an 850 Commando as well as more obscure examples like an Atlas from 1966 and a 500T from 1951.

Though we mentioned the Norton Calendar previously, we finally do have the new calendar on the Calendar page and on the order form as well. Order early and order often.

The Rant
Labor Day started out pretty chilly here in the Northland. By about noon however, the sun popped out and the temperature made it all the way to almost 70 degrees, plenty warm for a nice ride down the River Road to Diamond Bluff, Wisconsin and the Nauti-Hawg saloon. The River Road is a twisty two-lane affair, all the better for a motorcycle ride, right? Except for the fact that there always seem to be a group of cruiser riders who like to sight see at about 50 miles per hour on the straights and something considerably less than that on the sweepers. I’m not saying they have to run 80, but I do wish they would extend a little courtesy to the other two wheelers on the road and pull to the right so those of us who want to ride the speed limit (a crazy idea) or a little more, can sneak by and get on our way. I do it for the kids on the ‘Busas, and I only wish Bagger riders would look in the mirrors once in a while - and then let another Bagger guy go by.

Though the Nauti-Hawg caters to both boaters and bikers (thus the name) on a nice day it looks more like an old-fashioned biker bar.
