I would comment, but then I might be accused of beating a dead horse.

I understand. Most trucks have the built in slots for wood, then just bolt on the fork mounts. Its not much cheaper then you paid to be honest. Youo did good.:p

Gretzky 10-07-06 02:46 PM

Picked up one of these today :)

Yeah, that was me. I have a truck bed liner with a place to mount a 2x4. I just screwed the mounts into the wood.

Nice jersey, what brand?

DaveSANYYZ 10-07-06 06:03 PM

I think that's PI's long sleeve jersey (Kodiak light?).

As for me, I picked up my new digital camera from Fedex today; battery is being charged now. Picked up some screen protector and a case on the way back.

The Performance $20 off coupon was also burning in my pocket, so I went there and got PI knee warmers and 2 water bottles. :D

Where does one buy screen protector? I was just telling my husband that I'm scared of my new cell phone because I'm afraid I'm going to scratch/ruin the screen! :eek: My last phone was a flip phone and this one just feels so exposed.

Its small clear sheet of plastic that protects the screen from scratches...when the protector gets scratched up...just replace it...its very simple...they are usually $2-4....I have used them on PDAs, digital cameras, and phones!
You should be albe to order them on the internet...possibly Best Buy has them?

DaveSANYYZ 10-07-06 06:12 PM

I got a pack of 13; I'll bring you one tomorrow.

Seems like screen protectors are not easy to find in BB/CC anymore. I remembered when PDA was THE thing and accessories are easy to find. Now, they're relegated to a bottom corner of an mp3 accessories shelf.

BTW, I have no idea whether it's useful or not... but the label said it contains no adhesive, so it doesn't hurt to try.

No more flip phones for me. I'm going back to the traditional open faced, comfortable-to-hold phone. They're so much easier to pull out of your jersey pocket and use......and while driving too!

They are useful!!! Especially if the screen is exposed....

Thanks Dave!!

I just bought this off ebay from a seller in UK. I love the look... but I think I am through buying cycling jerseys online. The sizing is just whack. This is nike, but a euro product, so I wasn't sure what the sizing would be. Turns out, the bottom half could fit a very large barrel-shaped man, and the top half is too tight on my skinny arms/shoulders. I give up!

I like a lot of things about this phone...and it's purple! Really, it's a deep plum...but it's pretty. :D

How odd! Too bad that it doesn't fit, it's a sweet looking jersey.
