Will it be a new build or upgrade one of your current rigs?

I got to take the bike on a ride this morning. I went to Wakefield because a I had go to work and put a few parts on Lauren's Jeep and it is right across the street. I had a blast, but I am incredibly tired now. I ended up riding with a guy I met in the parking lot and it was hard to keep up. Tons of mud that I wasn't counting on. I had to ride back to the shop to hose the bike off before putting it in the Jeep. Now I need a bike rack/riding clothes and I will be good to go. My pants kept getting stuck in the chain. I want to go to Fountain head tomorrow if I am not too hungover. Happy New Years!

I used to use rubber bands on my right leg when I was growing up to keep my jeans out of the chain / crank area.

I looked like an idiot with my pants rolled up and long johns on. Ohwell.

Does anybody use their S to carry the bike? I am trying to decide what kind of rack/ hitch to get.

I'll probably pull some stuff off my Ti hardtail. I will need new wheels, brakes and fork.

Ha, it is nice to get away from cars/engines for awhile. And there is a bad history of parts that she buys for me. Even though I pick them out, they always end up being junk.
maybe quit picking out junk

David, I have a bike rack that I used with my S2000... works well and has room for 3 bikes but I wouldn't put three bikes on it with the S2000, the bumper starts to deform. Anyway I can bring it by when I bring the car over to do the MTF. Texting you now.

This more had to do with when I was in school and thought that a cheap set of Tein lowering springs would make a 91 Integra handle like a race car. My car was hellaflush before it was "cool". It sucked.
