Find Biker Bob in Sturgis

Right now, Chicago TFT Parade Vice-President Robert "Cooch" Kuczera is heading out to "work" at the Black Hills Motor Classic in Sturgis, South Dakota. Each year he goes there to promote his employer, The J.C. Whitney Company, and, naturally, to spread the word about the Chicago TFT Motorcycle Parade. If you're also planning to be there, then be sure to look for Cooch during the festivities, because the first 200 people to "Find Biker Bob" will each receive a $20 Gift Certificate from our friends at J.C. Whitney. Only one certificate will be awarded per person, and this offer begins August 4, 2003. Go to http://jcwhitney.com/images/sturgis_banner.jpg for more details, and have a great time in The Black Hills.
