Thanks everyone for coming out. It was a fun time! Very cool bikes everyone! I'll have a video up later.
If I got this figured out right...
We had 6 finished build-off bikes show up! Is that some kind of record?
1 unfinished build-off bike.
10 RatrodBikes.com members show up with their families for a total of 14 people riding.

First some finished bike photos...

Great pics (as usual), Randy. Here are some of the pics Hannah snapped.
Hannah test rode her bike before she tears it down for her first rebuild.

I cut a corner too sharp and tweeked a pedal. Here I am attempting to fix it.

A couple pics of me testing the durability of QuickSilver.

Had a great time, ride was good too... but man was my ride HEAVY!!! in reality I think everything on it is too tight, need to break it in or loosen things up since it sure seemed like it was towing an anvil.

Congrats to all the Buildoff bike participants, you guys built some cool rides! nice work 8)

Thanks for a great time, Everyone in my little posse said they had fun and wouldn't mind doing it again! Only next time I should remember to bring a few small bills in case one of the locals hits me up for some spare change. Just to be fair, he was polite about it, Just only had a couple of twenties. Anyhoo, thank you for setting up an enjoyable ride!

Looks like you all had a great time! Sorry, I couldn't make it. I spent the whole day working to finish my build by the deadline. I am now 99% done & will take some pics tonight after work & submit them to the finished bike thread.

Randy & Cameron: Great pics as usual. Looks like we have a lot of really cool bikes in this area & a bunch of great folks!

I'm with ndaway, I don't know how you can video & ride @ the same time! I can't even chew gum & tap my foot at the same time! :lol:

I have sacrificed a little blood doing it. Also you ought to see what get's left on the editing room floor :lol:

We really do have a great bunch of bike folks here. Very fortunate and thankful.
