If you plan on riding around these next two or three days, you better bring your galoshes

Good thing I got these fatty tires!!!! I'm planning on rigging up a sail and floating around Savannah! Stay dry brother!
For those of you that don't know, After Debby gets finished in Florida, she is predicted to sit just off of our coast (@Captain Awesome, @Dr. Tankenstein , and me) and churn. Winds won't be horrible, but they are predicting up to 20 inches of rain in 2 day period.

If you’re riding out West better bring electrolytes and an N95 mask for the smoke.

Oh jam, that’s a lot of water!

Hoping the eye unravels as easy as a Pecan Swirl and doesn't stay tight like a Swiss Cake Roll.

WOOOOOOOOOO! Sorry man, I'm just the naytcha boy in my mind.
I built those dropouts based on what I've learned fromothers that have done it here on RRB over the years. They've worked out great with no issues.

You have invented a new word. "Fromothers". I too have learned fromothers.
And that has made all the difference.

Here is a scene from Lake Queenfish yesterday around 5pm. I have a courtyard drain that I have to clear leaves from now and then.

Big Deborah is Aunt Rose from the Waltons T.V. show. Just sayin'.

Aunt Rose is also John Candy who is also Aunt Rose and Uncle Buck!

Thanks for the OJ award @OddJob ! It arrived today with some USPS applied ratima, but still in great shape.

@kingfish254 , at least it wasn't a complete soggy mess! Actually looks good in the garden...and it got there in 2 days!

Cuttin' the mustard is far better than cuttin' the cheese.

I'm honored to have finished tied for 2nd Place with THUNDERBOLT (@Shrunken_Head_Pedaler), just one vote shy of the winner Hops&Gnarly (@The Renaissance Man) . Congrats to them and the rest of my build brothers on sharing their wonderful wheeled trophies this year!

These are such a blast to participate in (14th in a row for me)! Everyone's prize is the trophy we get to ride when we finish, but more than that, it is the camaraderie, knowledge, and fun we share with 50 to 100+ builders around the world for three months. To me, there is no debate, I build a much cooler build with all of you friends than I ever could by myself in the shop. The collective of creativity that is formed each year always amazes me.

THANKS MY FRIENDS!!! For all that you've shared in BO19 and beyond. Also, thanks so much for anyone that enjoyed FOOLIGAN enough to cast a vote for it.

I really hope to see ALL of our bike friends join the fun next year in RatRodBikes Build Off 20.

Congratulations! Nicely done!

Hmmmm, there's a lot of blank space here for some creative graphic artist.

I actually have an affinity for sixth place. I've occupied that spot on a few occasions!

I was in 6th for BO13 with Holeshot. I'm still shooting for 8th to fill out my progression more.
