Freeze Your Balls Off!: The Scooter Rally

Brian leads the FYBO TUN*C country ride 2012

Another year, another January, another Freeze Your Balls Off (FYBO) rally goes by... The good peoples at the Incriminators Scooter Club have been putting this thing on for, can you believe it, 14 years now! The FYBO rally blueprint of long weekend, beer, bikes, bands, has been followed by (ahem...) many other clubs and always proves to be a winning combo no matter the weather. Ton Up N*C has traditionally been involved via the creating the Best Motorcycle trophy, organizing/leading the FYBO Country ride and the provision of drunken fools. Heres a TUN*C photo retrospective of the event (some photos were borrowed from Scoot.net)...

Shops of the Past: Casa Beeza

Casa Beeza had it all, split level storage, two-story ceilings, skylights, parts department, several workstations, tools out the wazoo and an ample stock of BSAs. But as has been said, all good things must come to an end and so it did. Casa Beeza owner and TUN*C core member, Alex, fell victim to the allure of the left coast, packed his shit up and took off this past year for greener pastures. It goes without saying that Alex is deeply missed and so is his shop. Here are some pictures of the glory days...

Good night Casa Beeza.
