Any idea what time? Sunday afternoon would be great for me, Sunday morning or evening, not.

 

[StephenH]

Two thoughts-
1) Is this during the fair? If so, no place to park over there, better to park elsewhere and ride into the area.
2) The Age of Steam Railway Museum is there. For $5 or so, you'd have a great backdrop to take pictures of your rat rod bike. But ideally, you'd do this when the fair isn't going on, and the musuem is pretty dead.

 

[Rat Rod]

It's the weekend after the Fair is over and he's thinking afternoon.

 

[jtdaddy]

Consider me there. Oh yeah... I have no idea what I'll be riding but I"ll be there...

Steve-O, are you going to do the flyer for it? I'd like to see your mad skillz take on an event flyer. Do you know of any cool cruiser clip art or drawerings or anything of the sort that you use for artwork. I'm trying to develop a file of bike related stuff to use in flyers and posters and junk (oh my!)

You might get some ideas and inspiration from the Bicycle Event Poster Gallery.

 

[StephenH]

http://www.bicycle-stuff.com has some clip art- don't know that any of it would be useful, but a place to start:

Also, you might notice that the "bicycle" signs used on bicycle routes and stuff seem to show cruiser bikes, and might be a good source of logo material.

I've almost exhausted this site http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/clipart/default.aspx
This is kind of getting off topic. I started another thread here viewtopic.php?f=11&t=8693

No plans to do any artwork for this...this is Mitch's gig, I just offered to post it on the forum for him. :wink:

Thanks for the props though!

Count me in on this one too, I might get professor paul to join in on the fun. I'll bring my stretch cruiser. Getting some 72 spoke rims and white walls this week from Paul I'll take and post pics when it done. We are going to do a cruise in Frisco Tuesday evening, 3 stretch cruisers rolling in Frisco should be a sight to see.

 

[Rat Rod]

Added the flyer above.

Just saw that ad in the Craigslist and came to check if it was the same thing- sounds like a fun time.

I'll be there with my Worksman industrial cruiser, which is not a show bike- should I figure it's in the show anyway, or not?

 

[Rat Rod]

Putting your bike in the show is voluntary. :wink:

 

[StephenH]

Good. In that case, I'll be there and look and ride.

 

[StephenH]

Just realized I may have other obligations that afternoon- hopefully, can make it right at 2:30, though, for the ride.

 

[Rat Rod]

Just to confirm....this is a show and ride only....no swap meet or vendor spaces.

 

[StephenH]

Got out there late, but still got to see all the bikes and ride the ride- had a good time. Wish I'd been there earlier so I could have entered a bike in the show. Some photos:

 

[Rat Rod]

Looks like yall had a good time and a decent turn out for the first gathering.

Thanks for sharing those photos. Maybe jtdaddy and Queasy Rider will share theirs too. :wink:
