Half Fast Chicago

* * *

Half Fast Chicago was established in the fall of 2007. The three founding members wanted to form a solid/tight knit group of friends who are more interested in putting miles on their rides rather than just talking about them while they sit in the garage. It doesn't matter what you choose to ride, as long as you ride it ! If your looking to hang with some great people, learn alittle, wrench alittle, have a few cocktails, and actually put some miles on your ride then these are your guys.
