The bikes weren't involved in the telephone and flag poles...which is probably why I made contact with both...I had an aftermarket hitch put on my truck, and it's further under the bumper than the factory installed ones, and I had to get this 9" extender for my rack in order for it to fold up properly and it sticks way the f out and my truck has THE worst blind spots...really hard to tell how close you are to something...you should see me trying to parallel park with that damn rack on.

Which is further proof why women shouldn't drive big veichles


:D

N8 that sucks. About ten years ago a dude came into the shop where I was working with two very trashed bikes. I thought I was being smart when I guessed he had tried to drive into his garage. He said "No, but close. I did this trying to drive OUT of my garage."

:eek:


He loaded up the car very late the night before an early morning start. Apparently not a morning person. :p
How was he planning on getting the car out of the garage when he mounted the bikes the night before?

Aha! The mysterious eyes are rivets on the arms of the kayak stackers in the middle of the rack.

It's not that big though! It's just a Jeep Grand Cherokee...tiny next to the behemouth tahoes and burbs!
Imagine the destruction if you drove a Tahoe! Oh the horror ;)

Lucky for me, 90% of the time I owned a car with a roof rack, I didn't have a garage. And the other 10% of the time, the garage I had didn't have an automatic opener, so I was forced to get out and open it myself, which then helped me to notice the bike on top of the car.

Well that's what's so funny - he wasn't thinking, like dudes who build sailboats in their basements and can't get them out without major demo. He said he was a family guy with loads of crap to pile into the car and thought he was being a genius by doing it all the night before...then he got up real early, rubbed his eyes, fired up the truckster and WHAM!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

My first thought was that the two dots were the glowing eyes of some furry little animal (like a raccoon or opossum) that decided to hang out on my mauled car. Two nights ago, the dogs had a baby raccoon treed on the top of one of the clothesline poles in the backyard. I called the dogs off, but the 'coon wouldn't get itself down. My wife objected to the idea of giving it a nudge with some water from the garden. It managed to get down and scurry off on it's own.

awww shucks... I was just hoping...

Funniest reply of the year, bar none. I also noticed that. It actually looks like that new Nike (or should I say NKE 6.0) logo for their new MTB shoes, the Mobi-Ones (which kick ass FYI, http://niketown.nike.com/niketown/catalog/pdp.jsp?productId=90766&categoryId=303406&productGroup=90768&CP=SDEX_Zoom_Mobi-One
On a side note, when I was in working at a shop in high school, we had a guy actually tear his Izuzu Trooper open like a sardine can running into his garage. Actually tore the roof up and off of the car about halfway down the car. As in gone, bang, new skylight.
Funniest thing I'd ever seen...

This might make you feel better.
My old shop has an overhang behind it that you can park beneath.
Day 1: Couple comes in, says "We want what Lance rides". They buy a 5200 and a 5500.
Day 2: They pick them up and go for a ride, didn't have time for a full fit.
Day 3: They come back for the fitting, forget about the $8,0000 worth of bikes on the roof, and plow into the overhang. There is even a steel I-beam mounted across it to prevent delivery trucks from damaging the building.

One of my coworkers saw the couple pull in and relaized that they were not going to stop. He ran screaming after them but to no avail. I can't remember how the husband reacted (driver) but the wife ended up sitting fetal style in complete hysterics.

I am now the proud owner of an OCLV fork leg bottle opener.

I know the only feelings you can have is stupidity, but a roof rack/low garage/exhausted bike riders is a combination of doom.

I know when I am tired, all I am thinking about is my next meal. And I have left my bike sitting on my rack unlocked (bad idea in the big city) for at least an hour.

I use a hitch rack though...

It got to the point at my old shop where I knew right away when someone would come in with "that look" on their face...

Them: "You won't believe this..."

Me, immediately: "You nailed your garage w/ that new bike we sold you."

Them: :eek: "Er...carport...How did you know?!?"

Me: "You look pale and your carrying the bike into the store."

:rolleyes:

I had a customer switch cars with his GF, she pulled into a parking garage at some outragous speed and tore the bike off the rack. It was almost a straight tube with a rear triangle on the one part. I have never seen anything like it before!

Sorry to hear N8, guess it is time for the fun job of getting new toys!
