    My Ratbike vacation in FL

    i recently returned from FL. Before I went I surfed their CL and secured a horrible deal on this crusty Murray. Guy said he greased the bearings and it seemed to be true. I put new tubes in and bombed the wheels orange. I rode everyday between 15-50 miles! Pics mostly from Siesta Keys and...
