Hard to believe a year has gone by already since the last Rat Rod Bikes Build Off. We’re over 10,000 subscribers strong now and lots of new folks are going to try their hand at building a cool cruiser this year. Many have collected parts and come up with a plan over the winter and now it’s time to start building. In order to participate you need to read the build off rules and then start a build diary in the build off section. Check out all the winners from previous build offs here. (a big thanks to yoothgeye for putting that together).

Many of you have been gathering up parts since last summer just waiting for the next RatRodBikes.com Build Off. Last year we had 106 finished bikes entered into the competition and the creativity and talent displayed was insane. We will begin the 7th annual build off on May 1st so gather up what you can and finalize your plans now to be ready for what’s sure to be another great contest.

Forum member “MIGZ” could be considered a Cruiser Recruiter of sorts. See what happens when a civilian Worksman goes through custom bike bootcamp and eventually becomes the “Lieutenant“.
