Death of an old friend

[Triathlete]

So today I learned (the HARD way) that bikes on roof racks, having a brain fart and garages do not mix well

My trusty steed of 8+ years died a tragic death today








I have used a roof rack for 16 years and have always remembered when my bike was on top...until today!
Tomorrow I start the search for a new steed...hopefully it will serve me as galantly!

Sorry for your lost,after so many years it becomes part of your life.

If it's any consolation, I'm sure you're probably not the first, and most likely won't be the last, to have something like that happen. Maybe it just means there's a similar replacement that's now become available somewhere out there, is looking for a good new home, and it has your name on it.

I will be paying a visit to TriSports.com tomorrow. They are a sponsor and will hopefully get me a great deal!

ya the VX visibility has gotten to me lately too (i have backed into my room mate's jeep 3 times lately, thank god his bumper is tough otherwise i would have to fix it for him...at least the cladding bounces back into place )

Hahahaha, I'm sorry Billy. But man, you gotta laugh at that one too. It happens to ALL of us at some point in time. I did something very similar years ago and felt like a complete moron since all my neighbors were on hand to witness it. As utterly embarrassed and pissed as I was, it took about 20 mins for me to turn it all around into laughter.

Look at the bright side.... time to "upgrade" the damaged goods.
