Bennitto Chunkolini Prince of Darkness, a member of the first international branch of the Rat Patrol, writes about the first Rat Patrol chop session in the UK:

Today big things stirred in the Rat Cave. Rat Patrol had their first 'at home'. A chop building day.Things look good, we got half the frame of 'Foxy Lady' built and boy is she shaping up to be one foxy chick! A full blown cut and shut job using an old Muddy Fox (the british yuppie bike of the early nineties), another piece of Wills old Scott and assorted bits of junk off the floor. If things go to plan this Foxy Lady should get to lose her cherry tomorrow as it were and get her first ride. and if John cant reach the handlebars I shall die laughing, he chose the geometry.
