Thanks to all for the kind words now i would like to thank a few people. first off fireproof for making the super cool key fobs, and trophies those are stunning and i already have mine up with my others thanks buddy i was not expecting that you sorta caught me off guard there. greg andrea and al for making the barrel race, chick bike, and al awards they looked great and you guys came out in great form and greg ran really well in competition (must have been the new pinstriping on his ride). my wife debbie for manning the BBQ all day long cooking for us all and putting up with our shenanigans. vulture for bringing the bull horn which i must say i now have to buy one of those for myself that was so much fun to use thanks buddy. mike s. for hooking me up with my new project a 66 stingray frame (which i have already started). sensor who although could not make it due to being sick was their none the less in spirit and made the old timer, and slow drag trophies (fireproof took the slow drag, and i agree frank for the old timer award). a thanks to all those who brought out extra food, soda, plates, forks, beer, ketchup etc........ to the chopaderos for coming out in force ref from the bay, and jr all the way from so cal to attend. but above all thanks to each who brought out their bikes and showed them, rode them, crashed, broke, cruised and now are probably wiping all the good luck galt dust off their rides. this event is yours not mine i put it on for you all so we can all get together and calibrate kustom bikes, and have some fun in the process. i think there is not much decision whether or not we will do it next year and for those of you a bit farther away i issue a challenge to start saving your pennies for next year's show. cause yes folks there will be a 2010 RAT BIKE RODEO and i want to see you all back as well as new faces. thanks again yall!!!
