Default Sold my truck so I had to compromise *pics*

Was going to go for a roof setup so I can lower the car but they don't make a roof rack for our cars. They wanted $900 for a custom one
Opted for a hitch instead, won't be able to lower it now unless I get adjustable coils.
Oh well.









whoring the other bike

Very nice bikes. I don't know why, though, it's not like there's any good riding in BC.

I like it, I had a couple of surfboards on mine but decided it was just wrong.
Nice bikes, gotta be worth some money.

This is a heartwarming thread for me (lol)!!!! I am the guy who typically posts mountain biking pics in the Clubhouse and have been successful with gaining local CL guys to join in the biking excursions. I love your Banshee and Specialized FS'. BC has so many awesome trails and that is typically where Easton tests new Carbon bars. I will post my pics from WORS when I race in a couple of weeks. Keep up the biking, best exercise, hobby, and mind clearing activity.

LOL looks like you have a motorcycle on the back of that SC. Not into those type of bikes but nice regardless.

No kidding about the mind clearing part.
I love going into the woods and just ride my bike. Takes my mind off a lot of things.

Did you go to Rack Attack in Kits? They might have had a roof solution for you.

Also, I can see our favorite RCMP guys giving you some greif for not being able to see the full plate (especially if you're riding the North Shore, those guys have nothing to do over there).

I'm curious how that changes the ride in your car (if at all).
