Re: THE CHICAGO TAILDRAGGERS.....NEW PICS! July 21st

Tour de Fat came to Chi-town, and the Taildraggers were there. If your near one of these cities, the TdF is recommended :D

This shot gives you an idea of how the streets are cleared, plenty of room to ride the boulevard.

Re: THE CHICAGO TAILDRAGGERS.....NEXT EVENT SUNDAY AUG. 19TH

I gotta get out to one of these rides sometime. I just got my 1961 Schwinn Flying Star up and running. It's gonna need some new tubes and tires though. My fiancee and I will be out at the Cubs game on the 15th so we may or may not be able to make that one.
