well....
How many Gin and Tonics have I had before riding? Is my bandana straight? No reflectors or lights so cops can't get me for DWUI? Dark clothes to blend in better? Two sets of bar ends attached to each other for upright comfort? Two working gears on a 27 speed? Well yellowed dork-disk with a chunk gone...oh yeah! My chain from a dog collar and a small luggage lock.
Y'up! Ready to roll! See you on top of Mt.Evans Fancy Man!
...and yes, the other threads are tired re-treads. Thanks for this one though...
