You guys should have a great time! More and more car shows are offering a place for us and we need to represent our hobby!

The Rat Rods have really proven to hold their own against the other vehicles. Look for the Rat Rods to align with us bike guys at these shows. We have alot in common with them guys and gals and they have shown us alot of respect in our area.
It's no longer about chrome and money! The shows are turning back in time to when hard work and backyard engineering, along with a thin wallet, once drew the biggest crowds! We are very lucky to be part of this bike movement and I encourage all of you to get involved.
So let's see what you Rats and Freaks got to offer the Kansas City area people!

im gonna bring my gravity bikes, this will be an awesome opportunity to expose ppl to the sport, and since the building will be full of garage builders all weekend i cant think of a better place to put 'em up for show! i wish my last rrbbo bike was done, but the weather is still not cooperating w/ my painting plans!

Looks Awesome!

How did the weekend go? Did the bikes get lots of traffic? Anyone interested in being part of the club? Eddie, did you questions about the gravity racing? It would have been nice to be there.

i didnt stay by the bikes, lil eddie (my 5 year old) was not wanting to sit still for very long! i did get to feild some questions, seems everytime i walked by there were ppl lookin at the g-bikes. im pretty sure mose kc folks have never seen or heard of a g-bike so i hope i got a few ppl thinkin that they might wanna build one! as for promotion, i wasnt able to put website address or anything like that since i was only an exhibitor, but hopefully someone will google the word "gravity bike" since it was all over my show card! it was a great experience but if i do another big show like that ill make sure to do it on a weekend that the boys are at thier mom's.

funny story, i was wondering why i got a few dirty looks when me and lil eddie were having our root beer and funnel cake, then later todd told me that the root beer looked like a dark lager beer the way the company bottled it, those ladies thought i was handing lil eddie (my 5 year old) BEER!
