Wichita Auction Bike Ride

[udallcustombikes]

I decided to give all the local members who helped with Auction Bike a chance to see the finished bike and give it a test ride so we can have some opinions other than mine on how it turned out. If any one else would care to join us we are meeting at Exploration Place in Wichita Saturday 11/26 at 11am. We will snap some pics and then go for a ride along the river. Bring a bike and a coat and see what you will be bidding on. Auction begins December 1 at 12:01am CST and will run for 5 days and will end at 11:59pm CST. There will be a thread posted in the "Bike Talk" forum to host the Auction Action.

Hope to see you guys there.

Wind date?

Rain should be done and the wind gusts die down from 30 to 28 by then
I should be there. Even if it's not the best conditions for a ride we can still check out the bike. The drool should dry off it fast with these winds.

Well the ride was more just to say we did. Kind of a ceremonial ride. I took some pics of the bike. Leaving it up to Cameron to post them what/when he wants. I might have some video evidence soon.

It's a sweet bike btw.
