Re: 8th Annual Midwest Bicycle Fest (Ratrod Raffle Bike) Ratfink1962, and crew, You guys did a great job on the raffle bike. And you even went with my colors, red and black were my high school colors, and the colors of the other 2 raffle bikes I have won recently. It will look great in my...

WOW! What an OUTSTANDING group of bikes! Wish my entry that did not get done ( or hardly started, the last couple of months time and energy was spent buying a new ( to me, but it is nearly 100 years old) house), was standing with this outstanding group of bikes and builders. What a show...

Here is a trophy I made for the MidWest Bike Fest last year. It was for the Best Custom, imo, It went to RRB member Pick for his Hot green Spaceliner. Its a sculpture I build usually using a hubcap in place of the bike sprocket base, and fish treble hooks for the claws where I used the bike spokes.

I have paid as little as $2 for a complete bike with the 2speed, and as much as $50 for a hub only. I have had several overhauled by the local Schwinn dealer for $35 each....support your LBS. The Bendix Automatic is a great way to ride.....once you get familiar with them.

Here is my 4th of July ride...... Thanks to all who make the USA FREE! the Captain America Razor Bike No parade today but I did take it out for about a 15 mile ride last night, it was beautiful.

We been to Fort Collins TDF 4 times and always had a great time. Last year we rode in the parade with some 15,000 to 20,000 other crazy people and then drink a few beers. Dont know if we will make it there this year or not, I kinda hope so.

Re: American Ratrod v2 I think I own the chalkboard bike... I WON it at the 2011 Mid West Bike Fest ... It had been nicely worked over by Udallcustombikes and friends. And aka_Locojoe is getting real good at building those rat bike lights. Looks good....See you Thursday for Patriotic Pub Pedal.

Do you know what the handle grips are made from? They are made from old BOWLING BALLS,, no kidding.

Well... a least if no one from Kansas is going to be on the show I won't have to go out and buy me a TV. Ill just have to go watch it on hulu or something on the internet.

Thank, Dr. T. People tell me I have too much time on my hands, truth is I don't have as much time as I used to because of all the time I spend on RATRODBIKES watching all the cool stuff people build here.

Here is the Alumasled setting in front of a license plate P 51 Mustang called " Mustang Pilots License" that I built back in 2003 for the 100 years of flight celibration here in Wichita. The sculpture is now owned by Exploration Place, the Wichita science and childrens museum.

Here is my newest Phat. Its a custom built by Porkchopped Bikes here in Wichita and was a raffle bike for a VW show, therefore the German influence in the parts choosen in the build. I won it on $20 in raffle tickets.

Show bikes you have won in contest, raffles, giveaways, etc. We have all been to events where a bike was a prize, or registered for bike in giveaway, or bought raffle tickets,...well lets see what you WON. I have been lucky recently and have won 2 bikes. I won a raffle bike at the 2011...

Here is the bike I won in the raffle, I bought $20 in tickets, the best $20 ive spent on a bike. It was built and donated to the VW car show by Wichita bike shop Porkchopped Bikes. It was built with German influence, using the Wolfsburg emblems, a Porsche hubcap, and Iron crosses, and is...

I hope to be there with some bikes, if I get my van back from Crazy Mae.

I got 1 2.

Re: Tandem Night VI we should be there. If anyone needs a tandem to ride, let me know, ASAP. I have an extra or 2.

Yes, yes the fan drive did power the car, he was moving when I snapped the pic, he was the last car in the parade. In fact, it was documented that the car setup with skies, on a big open lake, had reached the speed of 120 mph, the same speed that the 190 horsepower engine would fly the...

60 is the new 40, they say. So Im not quite 40. But I was exposed to rat bikes at an early age. Thats me.

Good eyes. Yes there are two sizes of money. I have been buying Monopoly games at garage sales for a few years, I collect the race cars, and Crazy Mae collects dice, then I put the rest of the games in the back room. I got about 30 games. Several years back I got another car, but I kept the...
