A little history about the Crud Run:
There are no big campaigns, no corporate sponsors, no local or regional newspaper or TV promotions, not even the usual obligatory one-size-promotes-all beer banners with the name of the event emblazoned on a huge blank white spot. Despite all the makings of what should be an unknown
event, the Slimey Crud Café Racer Run in southern Wisconsin is attended twice each year, on the first Sunday in
May and October, by riders from all over the country and routinely has participants from at least five states in the upper Midwest.
Its origins are nearly as murky as Stonehenge, dating back to the early Seventies according to one of its co-founders, former Triumph/Bultaco/Matchless racer and former Triumph dealer Lyall Sharer. From humble beginnings the event has become an organic thing that thrives on its own energy. At each gathering, it isn’t uncommon for anywhere from 1,000 to 3,000 machines to show up.
The Crud Run meanders across the scenic Wisconsin River valley from Pine Bluff in Dane County to Leland in
Sauk County. Th e distance between the villages is less than 30 miles in a straight line. but the road mirage can vary from about 70 to, well who knows? No specific route is prescribed, so the best way to go depends entirely on your imagination.
Despite the name, the event is not limited to the sheathedin plastic sportbike set. In fact, while there’s something for everybody in every class of bike, the event seems much more like a rolling vintage and classic bike show.
Flathead, knucklehead and panhead Harleys: TR-6, Daytona and Bonneville Triumphs: Lightning and Thunderbolt BSAs: Moto-Guzzi Falcone and 850 LeMans: Ducati SS-900 and Diana: Norton Commando: Vincent Black Shadow: Munch Mammut, BMW: Velocette Venom, Royal Enfield:
Indian Chief: Suzuki RF-5: Honda CB-77, Hondamatic, CBX; Laverda Jota: Kawasaki H1. Two stroke, four stroke,
rotary. Flat-trackers, touring, choppers, bobbers, adventure bikes, rat bikes, to name but a few of the types, brands and models seen at recent Slimey Crud runs. Its a scene you really need to see to believe.
Of course there’s no substitute for being part of the real thing, and fortunately, you’ve got two shots at it every year. SCMG Cafe’ Motorcycle Run for spring is the first Sunday in May Classic Lines…. Spaghetti… Schnitzel… Rice…. Leave Jake’s bar & grill, Pine Bluff at noon for Sprecher Tap Leland….Ride hard…..Ride short.

The Steel Shoe is being run on Lake Winnebago Sunday, January 26th at noon. Launching point is Sunset on the Water Grill and Bar
Facebook page for Steel Shoe.
Meet at Casa Johnson – N5552 Rademann Drive, Fond du Lac, WI at 11:00-11:15 and we can consolidate vehicles and coolers. Let me know if you intend to attend so we can have a head count.
In years past, there has been a minimal cost to watch (yeah, you could just walk out onto the ice and watch, but this is a fund raiser for injured riders). I haven’t attended this race since it has moved to Sunset, so I’m not sure.
I went out to the venue after the installation dinner and it is clear ice. Might be helpful to bring ice cleats/grips.
There are vendors, food, and unbelievable riding. Come join us.

Over the September 12th-15th end of summer block, motorcyclists will head out in various groups to hit the stunning Forest Service Roads beginning from our Wakefield (western U.P. MI)
basecamp, and asphalt riders will cut it up on the perfect paved riding in a (roughly) 150mi arc around our resort.. from Lake Superior shoreline rides to the deep woods county highways of northern Wisconsin.
Highlights for any given ride might include Copper Harbor and Brockway Mtn, the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness area, Bayfield, and The Apostle Islands, perhaps as far off as Pictured Rocks Lakeshore near Munising, MI.
Our guest GS/ADV riders have shared that the off-road riding around these parts is singular–stunning, great surface, narrow, winding two-track forest roads–always easy, never boring thanks to the pristine forestscapes.
The $60 event fee (per person) will include two casual cook-out dinners on Fri and Sat night, then morning coffee and a light bite. Our resort team will have paper and electronic routes and maps, along with must-see stops, good dining options, gas stops, and the like.
