@prokopetz once imagined a universe where Batman was a villain and the Joker a hero but everyone else was the same. It got me thinking if Joker took in the Robins, would Batman mould Harley into his sidekick?
If so, she would make a good Talon. (The Earth-3 Robin, not the Court of Owls guy.)
Made for me by the ever-awesome pepedraws.

Mr. Freeze 2.0
Harley Quinn Series Jonathan Crane X Spouse Reader
The Riddler was particularly alarmed when an old coworker and friend's spouse reached out to him after a long time.
It's been a long time, I know I know 😭
"So... You're telling me you wanna bring 'im back to life?"
"Yes." You answered firmly.
"Well, honey, I'm not the man for the job."
Now Edward thinks that it's not in the realm of impossibility at all, when there's crazy shit everywhere in Gotham but why him? There's the Lazarus Pit, the fucking nutjobs with powers, why don't you go bother them?
"I believe you have abundance of abilities that would be of help to me and you're the most intelligent man I know."
Edward raises a brow with a lopsided grin. Ohohoho, now you were pulling the flattery card— those were always his favourite. He doesn't need them at all, he has a pillar of support holding the weight of his confidence, but it does not hurt to hear the others state the obvious.
The Riddler replies, coyly dragging his words. "I don't know about you, but there's Lex Luthor--"
"As if that man ever achieved anything. He just throws money and expects his inventions to come to fruition—" You're not wrong. But that's not quite what he wants to hear. "— But you, you actually make progress."
"Hmm... Right. Tell me everything." Edward leans his arm against the table.
And you have told him everything. He always knew there was something more about you that meets the eye-- I mean, you're fucking married to Jonathan Crane. How could the most generic, sane-looking person be with someone like him? As they say, you are what you love.
Y/N L/N-Crane, Gotham Uni graduate with a degree of Psychology. No discernable background relevant to Edward, other than being affiliated with Jonathan and in turn, associated with the rogues. Scarecrow had put out a note to his other coworkers not to harm you, lest they want to make their lives a living hell. Now that he's dead, his threat was no longer effective, but out of respect and not really having any problems with you, they still abide by it. It is not like they can still use you against Jonathan anyways, but Edward digresses.
"So you're saying that you want to become the next Mister Freeze and bring your dead husband back to life?"
You chuckled, seems like the first time you did after all these times but it never sounded natural in your ears. Funny that he say that, Mister Freeze had actually lent you his equipment suited to preserve Jonathan... Or at least, what's left of him.
Freeze empathizes with you losing the love of your life, he understood just how painful it is. By this, he pulled you in to cope the way he does, locking your spouse's corpse in a low temperature pod in hopes of finding a way to bring them back. It wasn't healthy, but it is only what you have. But you figured it did not had to be that way, to endlessly cry before an embodiment of your grief preserved in a pod for the rest of your days. No, you were determined to bring him back, just as Freeze was.
Meanwhile Edward is particularly stoked you reached out to him, stroke his ego and consult him about a project you would be making— of course you should consult him! He's the smart one, forget the professionals, clearly he is most superior! Oh resurrection? Oh he might just work on it as well. Count him in! Oh he hasn't worked on a new project for a long time, this would be good to dip himself in the water again.
"When do we begin?"
~•~
You are a bright chemist, as Edward had come to discover, no wonder you caught Jonathan's eye despite graduating with a psychology degree. You are no Edward Nygma, of course no one can be as briliant as Edward Nygma, but he has to qualms to point out certain aspects of you he considered impressive. He can admit that you know your stuff pretty well without bruising his ego.
You thought of everything. You ruled out the Lazarus Pit as an option to resurrect due to its unpredictable nature and not to mention, the madness that comes with it. In general, magic was out of the option because you would not fuck with the unfamiliar waters, no that is not your field at all, what use would your science background do other than hanging prettily on your wall? Of course you would make use of it.
Is it possible to bring one back to life? The life long question in which science and the supernatural has their very own answers to. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley had answered the question of what would happen if one were to play god and control life itself, but your do not want to play god nor create life, you just want your Jonathan back. Besides, it did not go well for Doctor Frankenstein but maybe it was the point of it all, to dare tap into the impossible, borderline unnatural, supernatural even, breaking ethics, ruining the natural flaw of vitality of everything. But perhaps it was Frankenstein's neglect, lack of self-awareness, responsibility and accountability that caused him his downfall. Oh, and he's a fucking dropout.
It was wild how you can compare fiction into your life in a manner that is not figurative. You are here planning to bring your Jonathan back to life on a Tuesday night in Gotham City in your basement after having tea with the Riddler. You were no architect and an engineer, and so Edward was called in to design some things from you, perhaps gain feedback from him. He knows his stuff despite not having a degree of it at all and you trust him... Funding was not a problem at all, you have a few materials kindly provided by Victor Fries. After he had passed and successfully healed Nora, he had you in his mind. The low temperature preservation pods, various chemicals, the lair, the freeze ray, the suit... Riddler was not far off when he said you might be the next Mister Freeze. Hopefully not for long.
"Right, so that's the design. Promotes a good flow of necessary fluids, the vital signifier, control panels, Jonny boy's fishtank..."
Looking over a blueprint, the design was doable for Edward to construct in a matter of days and enough for you to make important phone calls for willing participants to contribute a little helping hand for this little project of yours.
So how do you plan to bring him back to life? A mix of both. You meant it when you said you would never fuck with the supernatural, but you also recognise the limitation of science. His body is beyond saving but you will be stopping at nothing to bring him back. You planned to clone his body and give him his old memories. Obtaining his old memories and consciousness is something science cannot do and you turn to the last thing you dreaded to even think about.
Klarion the Witch Boy was out of the option, too unpredictable in your taste. Zatanna does not fuck with this particular side of magic and not to mention, how she would not even involve herself with the likes of you. John Constantine, too drunk to function, moreover, how he'd attempt to fuck every breathing thing... Doctor Psycho specialises in the human mind, but would he be capable of transferring memories and consciousness to another body? You want Jonathan fully healed in a different body as himself, not a clone with his memories. Would he be willing to help? Why would he help you? Would it possible for you to see your Jonathan ever again, or is it just a copy of him you are creating? Fucking hell, is he even capable of such a thing—
"Hey, hey," fingers snapping grounds your back. His hand is on your shoulder. Edward was a touch offended when you began dazing off, how dare you? Though he bit back the remark slots on his tongue by the sight of you flinching. "Stay with me okay?"
You blinked, grounding yourself back to the living realm. "Right..."
~•~
"So what was it like with Crane?"
"Pardon?"
In the midst of you tweaking some gears into the machine, Edward sounds off behind you, having been bored out of his mind after finishing his handiwork early. He found himself drumming the screw driver against a pipe, texting Clock King (he was unfortunately offline), when he laid his eyes on you. With no connection other than Jonathan, he gives it a go. Could be fun to reopen some wounds.
He repeats himself. "What was it like with Crane?"
"Mundane at best. I was the closest thing he has to normalcy since his workplace is catastrophic."
"How'd you met?"
"Uni."
"Why did he chose you?"
"Dunno."
"Why choose him?"
"I have questionable standards."
"You aren't much of a conversationalist, are you?"
"Yes."
Edward should be irked, but he isn't. He was that bored.
"Come on, work with me on something here. I don't like being bored," He sighs, draping himself on his seat, limbs sprawled out. "Monosyllabic much?"
"Occasionally. That was five syllables just about now." A lopsided grin was present at the last sentence, but you relent. "What was he like in the workplace?"
Ahhh, there it is. Edward could work with that.
"Maybe the most tolerable I find. He wasn't much of a bitch, but he can be a bit talkative."
"And you aren't?" You snorted, eyes still fixed on the contraption you were building.
"Touchè," Edward smirks. "The most that stood out to me the most though, was that one Villy's three or four years ago. Ya know, when you were outed in the public?"
You remembered. The ordeal was not easy for you, nor Jonathan. You've been together for a decade and married five years into it. You have been kept away from the public's eye and Jonathan was adamant to keep it that way. One day, someone spotted you. With a single picture, you were in the middle of the spotlight, front page, headlines. What was supposed to be a private matter, came to light when a single photo was snapped with the two of you holding hands, wedding bands visible. The Villy's were just around the corner and you were hot shit, you were nominated to be the best couple, despite your civilian status. Harley Quinn, who was Joker's then-girlfriend, did not take it well.
"The Villy's, you know how rigged it is right? And yet you won the best couple with no strings attached." Edward says. Back then he was amused at the fact that the couple who want nothing to do with the spotlight winning.
"Joker and Harley proceeded to make our lives a living hell. Nothing life-threatening, just general inconvenience..." You sighed, the memories resurfacing. Then you retract your statement. "No, I almost died on laughing gas. Couldn't breathe, was laughing too hard, broke a rib. Jon had to sedate me and make an antidote, then took me to the hospital for my broken rib."
"I remember. I overheard Jonny telling Bane about it." Edward noted how Jonathan was close to crying when he told Bane. He felt a little sorry for the guy, before going about his day. "Was Harley that did that?"
"I don't know." You shrugged.
"Has she apologized for it?" Harley has been going about her 'character arc' lately, with her break up with the Joker, her get together with Ivy and all that.
"No." There you were again, monosyllabic— a sign that the topic was getting a touch too personal.
"Do you still miss him?" It slips from Edward before he can even think about it. He was met by your deadpan gaze, before you gesture at the device you have been working on. The 'Bring my husband back' machine. Oh duh.
"So how are you and Clock King?" You opted to divert the conversation. At least then he'd be more elated to talk about that.
Edward grins, his expression shifting into something so dreamy. "He is so good to me. Just. The best. Just this morning I woke up to breakfast in bed, he is just a sweetheart. I just know I have to marry him."
"You guys should have won the Villy's," you dropped, whilst still tending to testing the mechanism of the device, before readjusting another set of screws.
"Right?" Edward exclaims. "If Harley and Ivy didn't show up up stage, that should have been a disqualification and the runner-up winner should have gotten it. But of course, Joker had to be a self-centred dick." He groans, rolling his eyes. "CK was upset but he got over it. The Villy's rigged anyway and we don't really need it."
"If I were a rogue though, I would have voted for you." You briefly looked up, seeing just how lit Edward's eyes were at the matter of his boyfriend.
"Why thank you," he limps a hand at your direction, before fishing for something in his pocket. With his phone in hand, he began pressing some keys before he holds it in front of you. "This was our third date. He baked us some sweets and we had tea. He is soooo good at cooking and baking ugh, I'd bring some if I can. You just got to try them."
You find yourself smiling at the sight of the happy couple posing in front of the camera, Edward's hand draped on Clock King's shoulder. Good for them.
The contraption was complete and functioning, though you can't find it within you to feel successful. Edward, on the other hand, was his usual self— taking pride of what he has constructed.
"Not bad for a psychologist slash chemist. I might make an engineer out of you yet." Edward gives you an impressed, lop-sided grin as he looks down on the mechanism you made.
You only give him a smile, void of any emotions whatsoever.
"Quick question," Edward knows it within himself nothing about his query is quick. "Do you think old Jonny boy would want to see you..." He vaguely gestures at your form, darkened gaze, bloodshot eyes, exhausted, lethargic, tired, every synonym of it just to drive a point. "Like this?"
Edward gets up, giving you a firm pat on your back, before picking up the apparatus. He proceeds to install it the main machine to get it to run. The 'Bring back my husband' machine whirs to life, the cogs and gears turning, pumps shifting. Edward takes a step back to admire his— er, your (plural)— your handiwork.
~•~
The day came, the apparatus was complete and in order. All that was needed to be done was to do something out of your control and put of your abilities. You settled on cloning the body— you've already made calls to Dr. Psycho for an appointment, transfer everything from John's old body to his new one and to ensure this would not be a case of a clone with Jon's memories, you had to reiterate that.
It was risky. You were unsure. There's no doubt that resurrection is not possible, everyone who had died around you had came back, though not all of them came back right. A seed of doubt was sewn in your mind, though pushed back.
The question did not come from a place of concern (or so he thinks), he just wanted to fuck with your mind. With all the uncertainty lingering in mind, there's bound to be an interesting reaction. He was met with yet again, your dead gaze. Somehow Jonathan in his little pod was looking livelier than you are.
"No."
There was an air of finality to it, wanting not to elaborate further as you step forward to tend to the machine. There was nothing wrong with it, you just wanted to avoid him and his prying. Edward getting under your skin had never gone unnoticed, but it was best to disregard him, lest it should egg him on to poke further. You were above snapping at him, not to mention, you don't even have the energy to take his jabs to heart.
Exhaustion glazed eyes glanced at the body in the tank. An imitation of your husband sloshed in it. This wasn't him, you knew, but you just wanted to have something in his absence.
You won't deny that he had successfully made that seed of doubt in your mind to flourish. It didn't take your psychology degree to think that everything you were doing was in the place of grief. Self-awareness and all that, yet you still proceeded to lend the effort of constructing a machine in hopes to bring him back. It's all in the grieving process.
'Goodbye, my darling.'
Edward found himself raising a brow in shock, when you unplugged the machine, shutting it down. All your efforts, down the drain. All his effort. And yet he didn't feel it was all for nought. He stares at you, waiting for you to say something.
"Jonathan wouldn't like this." All you can do was shrug, he chuckles at this.
"And here I thought you'd be replacing Mr. Freeze." Edward remarks with a smirk. But then, one question remains.
"So, what now?"

Wyman Crowned Mission King Of The Baggers Champion
Kyle Wyman Takes The Crown Despite Injury At WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca Broken elbow, be damned. Kyle Wyman is the 2021 MotoAmerica Mission King Of The Baggers Champion. Wyman did what was needed to do to earn the title on his factory Harley-Davidson Screamin’ Eagle Road Glide as the three-round series culminated on a sunny day on the Monterey Peninsula. Mission King Of The Baggers: Wyman Crowned! The three-round Mission King Of The Baggers Championship wrapped up on Sunday at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, and Harley-Davidson Screamin’ Eagle rider Kyle Wyman left no doubt, from the beginning of the race, that he would not only win the race, but clinch the title in dominant fashion. Wyman started from the pole and was never headed in the eight-lap race. He gained more than a full second on second-place finisher and Mission Foods S&S Cycle Indian rider Tyler O’Hara on almost every lap of the race until he decided to slow his pace just a bit towards the end. At the checkers, he took the win by just under four-and-a-half seconds over O’Hara. Third place went to DTF Performance/Hoban Brothers Performance Racing Harley-Davidson’s Michael Barnes, who added yet another podium finish in yet another motorcycle road race class on yet another brand of motorcycle. Wyman, who had broken his elbow in a crash last month at Road America, made a miraculous recovery from his injury, and he talked about it after the race. “Those guys are world-class doctors and surgeons, putting me back together, knowing exactly the timeline and how he needed to fix everything for me to be able to get what I needed to get done,” Wyman said. “Honestly, we didn’t make any changes to the bike ergonomically for me to ride it. It was just a matter of Friday it was like, okay, this is the lap time I can do without braking so hard that I’m screaming in my helmet. Then here’s a lap I can do when it really sucks. Then just decided from there how hard I wanted to push. I pushed pretty hard in the beginning of the race and saw the board grow pretty quickly, so I was pretty happy with that. I could kind of keep a steady rhythm from there and not have to brake too hard. That’s all it was. It was just more brake force and the more I have to hold my body weight, especially these downhill left-handers in 2 and 11 and stuff like that. Structurally it’s been good. It’s been a very fast recovery. If I was only racing Superbike this year, I probably would have ridden the Superbike, but both would have been a lot. I would have jeopardized both. So, my plan was just to focus on this. Pretty minimal laps for a race weekend. After doing double duty riding on the Harley only is like a vacation, so it was pretty awesome. Got it done.” Stock 1000: Wyman By An Inch Sunday at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca started off with a bang as MotoAmerica’s literbike riders put on an amazing show in their only Stock 1000 race of the weekend. Motul Travis Wyman Racing BMW rider Travis Wyman showed his tenacity when he started from back in seventh on the grid and methodically worked his way to the front. Meanwhile, HONOS HVMC Racing Kawasaki’s Corey Alexander was in the lead and heading for the win…until Wyman descended upon him from seemingly nowhere with four laps to go in the 14-lap event. Wyman stalked Alexander, and then, on the final run to the checkers, he nipped Alexander at the finish line by a scant .032 of a second. Altus Motorsports Suzuki’s Jake Lewis also emerged from way back in the pack - a victim of a bad tire choice - to take the final spot on the podium just .286 0f a second behind Alexander. “The guys got my bike dialed in where I can get off of that corner (turn 11) really well,” said Wyman about his race-long surge to the win. “That was my focus going into this weekend, was figuring out 11. Overall, the guys just figured out a great setup for me. We struggled in qualifying and they threw something together for me in the Superbike race and it was a gamble and it paid off. We didn’t change the bike one bit from yesterday’s race to this race because I knew we had pace and I just wanted to focus on riding and not having to take another gamble, because we were good. I just got a terrible start and I had to work my way through the field, and I knew Cory and (fourth-place finisher) Andrew (Lee) wouldn’t make it easy for me. Lapped traffic came into play. I actually thought that I was going to settle for second because of how far back I was from Cory coming down the hill, but when I got up behind him in 11, I was like, ‘Man, I haven’t made a pass by the start/finish yet, but I think if I can get a killer drive, I could do it,’ and I did and obviously it paid off. So stoked for BMW and everyone.” Super Hooligans: Fillmore Over DiBrino Round one of the Roland Sands Design Super Hooligans QuaTTro Championship took place on Sunday with the road race portion of the multi-disciplinary series. Two KTM-mounted riders battled at the front with Chris Fillmore prevailing over his teammate Andy DiBrino by just .045 of a second. SportbikeTrackGear.com Junior Cup regular David Kohlstaedt rode his Indian to third place. “We didn’t ride together really at all these past three days,” Fillmore said in reference to his teammate DiBrino. “So, I wasn’t sure where I was going to be strong. I just figured it out throughout the race. I decided to kind of play the wise old thoughts and kind of sit back and watch and pick my place where I was going to make my move. I saved it for the last corner because I didn’t want to give him another chance to come back by me. So, it would have been nice to battle back and forth a little bit because we, for sure, could have done a little bit of that, but I went for the safe last-lap pass.” Supersport: Kelly Again M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Sean Dylan Kelly and HONOS HVMC Racing Kawasaki’s Richie Escalante continued what has been a season-long, round-by-round and race-by-race battle, but as has been the trend this season, Kelly, who started from the pole, prevailed with his seventh race victory of the season over Escalante. The two riders had their usual paint-swapping skirmishes during the 19-lap event, but they were joined this time by CV28 Racing Yamaha’s Cory Ventura, who followed up his podium finish from Saturday’s race one with a turn in a lead for at least a brief few moments. As the race approached its conclusion, things became processional with Kelly beating Escalante by a little over four seconds, and Ventura just under two-and-a-half seconds adrift of Escalante. “That wasn’t an easy race,” Kelly said. “I was really happy about the weekend. Truthfully, another solid job. We got the double. Did the pole yesterday. We’ve been in the fight the entire time. Just working away. Really happy, honestly, with how I’m working with the team. This is exactly what I want to be doing every single weekend. Definitely proud of the job. Today’s race was a little bit more tough than yesterday. Richie and I started off with some close battles and a few rubs, which is honestly one of the best ways to race. We’re tough competitors, but we have a level of respect, which is definitely necessary just to keep human. But it’s good. Cory definitely surprised me. I struggled to get by him for a lap or two. Just a different riding style I had never seen. Just a couple different things here and there. I actually almost hit him twice and decided to take it a little easy and study him a little bit more to do it the right way. So, I’m definitely happy about the job. Overall, just excited to get the double this weekend. We just have to continue. The goal is higher than this, so we’re just going to keep on working away.” SportbikeTrackGear.com Junior Cup: Scott Again The final race of the weekend was in SportbikeTrackGear.com Junior Cup, and Saturday’s winner Tyler Scott did the double aboard his Scott Powersports KTM despite facing a very strong challenge from Landers Racing Kawasaki’s Ben Gloddy. Scott started from the pole, but Gloddy was undeterred and kept Scott in his sights throughout the race, which included overtaking Scott on lap eight. Scott was equally undeterred, however, and he quickly took back the lead and maintained all the way to the checkers. Veloce Racing’s David Kohlstaedt, who was third in Saturday’s Junior Cup race one and third in Sunday morning’s Super Hooligans race, finished third in Junior Cup race two to record his third podium finish of the weekend. “It feels great to go back-to-back this weekend,” Scott said. “I couldn’t ask for a more perfect weekend. Great race today with Ben. It was definitely tiring. I knew he was there the whole time. Way more competitive than yesterday, in my opinion. We started going back and forth battling and saw our lap times going down, so in the last couple laps I decided to take the lead and try to set the pace for the last lap.”

What’s dinner between friends?
Life on the lot hadn’t changed much since Amanda had left right after finishing high school. People still dropped off their cars, some tried to complain about the price and between all this, harleys would come and go adding the feeling that life was continuing despite Dane’s death. Trying to make a difference to the workload, Amanda got up early every morning and went to the lot with a hot cup of tea firmly in her grasp. She would unlock the office, sort out the paperwork for the day and check that parts had been ordered. Then, as it hit 7am, she would meet some of the club guys out at the garage doors or whichever mechanic was working and wait for them to open the large roller doors before going over the work with them.
She liked this kind of work, it was routine and something she could easily get lost in. The guys kept her entertained, especially the prospects. It was easy to fall back into the job she had as a teen, she knew the way this place operated like the back of her. Beth and Jean had trained her up well, they liked things to work a certain way and she was still determined to make them happy with leaving her to run it for them.
Beth hadn’t been on the lot often and her own mother was doing whatever she could to help guide Beth through this time. Amanda had been over there in the afternoons with Sarah, just talking about anything or just simply lazing around watching tv. It didn’t matter what they did as long as Beth got a break from her own mind. That didn’t stop Amanda from dragging Sarah away and the two running off and pretending the world around them didn’t exist, just so Sarah could remember that things weren’t always going to be this murky grey colour she was facing right now. In the midst of that, Amanda was simply floating around whoever she was needed, she’d help Ryan out from time to time with placing fiddle car parts into their places because her hands were smaller than his. She’d even stoked the bar in the clubhouse at Tom’s request, he couldn’t find the fucking prospect and she was pretty he was going to loose his mind so she waved a set of keys at him, declared she knew where everything was and set out on restocking.
Granted, she had taken a bottle for her troubles and had spent the next night on her parents back porch with her father, sharing a joint as well as the bottle of whiskey.
For the first time in a very long time, she felt at ease with her own existence. She didn’t feel the need to run off to some new place. There was no questioning who she was, no one looking at her slightly different because of something her father had done over 20 years ago. Her and Ryan were joking with each other again, there wasn’t a strain in their once unbreakable sibling bond. She had Sarah right around the corner, yes the circumstances weren’t perfect but Sarah was happy for her to ramble on about whatever she felt like. God, she had missed her terribly, she couldn’t gel with anyone the same. But she couldn’t forget Tom, he’d always been the strong silent best friend. When she’d had her first heartbreak, the three of them had found her angry and crying on the picnic bench at their spot but while the other two swore revenge, he’d simply handed her a drink and sat beside her, before laughing at Sarah’s rather detailed imagination.
But unfortunately, her time home was at it’s end and she would be leaving in the morning.
The lot was quieting down and almost everyone else had gone home or was hiding about the clubhouse looking for some comfort. Placing the final stack of paper work in it’s proper place and leaving her last sticky note for whoever took over tomorrow, Amanda quickly glanced at her watch and realise she hadn’t had dinner. Shutting down the computer and leaving the small office, she took in her surroundings.
Her eyes fell on Tom who was sitting at the table that was near the boxing ring by himself. She wondered if he was struggling keeping it all together, his strength for everyone around him never wavering. Grabbing her keys from her handbag, she got in to her car and left the lot. There a was a decent chinese take out not far from there and she figured right now, as one last helpful thing she could do, was feed Tom.
She was only gone roughly twenty minutes and when she got out of her car, the lot seemed even quieter than when she had left. Surprisingly, she found Tom exactly where he had been when she had left. Gathering the food she walked towards him and set the bag down on the table. “I got your favourite, there’s cutlery in the bag, eat.” She gave him a smile before going inside the clubhouse and grabbing two beers. She sat down across from him, passed over the beer and grabbed her food, before smirking, “you guys are all set for tomorrow, I’ve left everything in really clear piles and there’s sticky notes on everything. I’m pretty sure even that new prospect of yours couldn’t fuck it up.”

Dirt Quake 2017 Photos and Insta-Story
Heel clicker on a big-ass Sportster? Hell yeah, we’re Rusty Butcher dammit! Mark Atkins sends it at the Dirt Quake jump competition!Dirt Quake USA rolled into Caste Rock like a whirling dervish and whipped up a weekend of unparalleled fun. Camp out, late-night party, mini-bike races, bike show, swap meet, bro-fest, hooligan racing in its rawest form, the festivities are non-stop. There’s really no other event out there quite like Dirt Quake USA.American Iron unfortunately had to back out at the last second so we gave our tickets to first-timer Henry Knepp who rolled up to the Rock with his four-legged buddy Leroy.“Had the most crazy amazing time this weekend at Dirt Quake USA. Leroy and I made some great new friends. I’m already looking forward to next year!” Henry said.
Mini-bikes, pit bikes and scooters ready to get their race on at Dirt Quake 2017.We owe him a huge thanks for taking all of the great photos you see here. Next year we’ll have to posse up together Henry and Leroy!!While the pictures do a great job of telling the story that was Dirt Quake 2017, we also scouted the Instagram accounts of many of the hooligans who took part in the shenanigans to cobble together this Insta-Story. Enjoy!
Surfin’ Dirt Quake style!superhooligans Dirt Quake USA 2017 hosted some of the tightest, fastest racing we’ve seen all season for round 5 of the SHNC series. The 1/4-mile clay track at Castle Rock, WA is a surface that definitely separates the men from the boys. It was exciting to watch H-D, Triumph, Ducati and Indian motorcycles battling it out for the lead in the main.Super Hooligan Main Event 1. #62x Andy DiBrino (H-D XG750) 2. #3 Joe Kopp (Triumph Street Twin) 3. #62 Bradley Spencer Jr (Scrambler Ducati) .@motulusa Cleanest Bike Award #72 Jordan Baber (H-D Sportster)@knfilters Holeshot Award #62 Bradley Spencer Jr (Ducati Scrambler)@ridedunlop Dash 4 Cash #3 Joe Kopp (Triumph Street Twin)B Main Event Winner (Fastest Slow Guy Award) #18 Alex Smith .Huge shoutout to @seeseemotorcycles and @sideburnmag for putting on this wild event known as @dirtquake #dirtquake#dqusa .

Hillsack pulled out the no-hander for the jump-off!fuzzyfonz 2017 DirtQuake USA Had some really tight fast racing this weekend. I had a fast low slide coming out of turn 2 Friday night. Thankfully I walked away and #thespeedmerchantequippednumber 11 didn’t have any damage. Just needed minor adjustments. The local club event even allowed some of us hooligans have our own 30+ class (We wanted more seat time) on tips of the hooligan race. @josh_jammer and I decided to really test each other and see who can hold the throttle and little longer. Saturday, #Dirtquake I missed advancing to the #SuperHooligan main event by half a bike length. In the B main event. @brewsed and I worked to try to get through @suicidemachineco Which we did. Thank you to everyone who came out and everyone who is supporting us.wiggzero9 Dirt Quake // Last night was fast, really fast. I got the hole shot but blew turn one on lap 2. Settled into 3rd and stairs there. 1st, 2rd, 4th where all pro less then 2 years ago or current.brewsed Heat race – Missed the start light. Last one off the line, wheelied to turn one , managed P3 for a transfer to the A main. I’ll take it Track’s getting hooked up! #dqusa #hooliganracing#superhooligan

Thanks Henry Knepp and Leroy for all the great photos! “Had the most crazy amazing time this weekend at Dirt Quake USA. Leroy and I made some great new friends. I’m already looking forward to next year!”leticiacline DQ USA is hard to sum up in one post. The lady’s class had 9 amazing riders in it and I think we gave the crowd their money’s worth racing around on these heavy Hooligan bikes. I banged bars with @tuesday.tuesday from the start and she was milliseconds from passing me throughout and at the finish line. Overall I ended up getting third behind @malaryyy(2nd) and @s_pietz (1st) who had a good battle themselves for a few laps. #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */ Related PostsLet's block ads!
