[Skipton]

I know Tour de fat had been posted on here already but let’s get a Chicago thread going.

If you have not done this before the Tour De Fat is the coolest bike thing you will do all year.

Any fellow rat rod members up for meeting early to do the parade?

Show up around 9am the parade was awesome last year!
And that is just the start of a great day
Thanks Skip
