Re: Chicago TailDraggers 2013 DATE CHANGE!!! Now APRIL 6TH

We were the first people to sit on the roof of Twisted spoke, weather was nice, sun was warm just a bit breazy at times. But hey its Chicago. Had a blast. Only almost crashed the van twice on the way up. :roll:

Like I told Skipton, Smokey T. Bear was my co-pilot on the way up.

Saw some guy in the middle of the road and thought of running him down, but then I realized it was Gary. So I let him be. lol

Finally got up there, takes a little longer in a Aircooled vehicle.

Re: Chicago TailDraggers 2013 NEW PICS! 4-6

Great pics and story of your ride, Skipton!! :D
Taber's bike came out great and he looks like he likes it!

Really liking the way you set up Taber's bike! The bars, stem, old frame, peaked fenders then 7 spd too!

Re: Chicago TailDraggers 2013 NEW PICS! 4-6

Thanks Steve!

Taber's Bike is so nice and fun to ride.

Next time you are in Chicago you will have to take it for a ride.

The Nexus 7 speed "Shifts like a Porsche Boxster" :mrgreen:

Just need to get the fender and chain guard on and call it done!
 
Re: Chicago TailDraggers 2013 NEW PICS! 4-6

Thanks. Yes a Corvair van, a Corvan to be specific (not a greenbrier, it was a work van with no windows except on all doors.). Loop tail is Gary's, I have the camel back speedster.
