Hi Rat Rod Bikers. I'm in Granite Bay California, in Placer County. Not too far from Sacramento. Saw an Electra Rat Fink when they first came out, and then a Rat Rod a few years ago, and absolutely fell in love with the bikes. Unfortunately, being the fiscally conservative type with a wife, 3 kids, mortgage, etc, I couldn't justify another bike when I already had a Mtn Bike sitting in the garage. But over the years I kept seeing the Rat Rod and other cruiser bikes and just couldn't get them out of my mind. So this year I put the Rat Rod 3i on my Amazon wish list along with a few other expensive items I really never thought anyone was going to get for me. I mean, I'm 49 yo and frankly get tired of everyone asking me what I want for Christmas when the reality is that I'm actually quite content with what I have and the only things I want are the things I either can't afford right now or wouldn't buy for myself. After all, I have 3 kids and a wife who have needs and wants.
So needless to say I was quite stunned when my wife told me to go out to the garage and see my early Christmas present from my parents. I think I almost cried. I felt like a kid again seeing his shiny new bike for Christmas. I mean WOW...they actually bought me something I didn't need, but really, really,wanted and would never have bought for myself. Of course there's always a catch, which in this case is the "Do Not Ride Until Christmas" warning. And I haven't ridden it, but you can bet I will be hopping on this bad boy on the 24th. I included a pic of the bike in the garage sitting in front of my Matco Rat Fink tool box. I'm a car guy, and a fan of the Rat Fink since I was a kid. So needless to say this bike really fits my style.
