We got in two full days of riding.. then the snow cancelled day 3. No complaints here s

I washed the van and the bike as soon as I dropped out of the snow on the way home.

That's a great idea! I wonder if I could stop at a grocery store and just use a full roll of saran wrap on it before I go over vail pass?

Hell I think I'll keep a roll in the top cabinet of the van just in case

or.. get the plastic wrap they use for shipping: http://www.amazon.com/Rolls-CLEAR-St.../dp/B000UH6SH2 ... much stronger than grocery-type plastic wrap.

Home Depot, even Walmart i think, has it too

If there is crap weather forecast.. put the bike inside the van instead of being lazy and throwing it on the back bumper

Did those tires work well on the Sprinter?
Had to be better than OEM!

Geek, I've known for a long time that you suck... nice to see you're really upped your Level of suckage.

To put an emphasis on your suckage I'm going to post this pic of my thumb from a couple months ago...


















I'll let you decide to embiggen that photo....



Fun with tablesaws when your push-stick slips.



But then again,it's not all bad down here in GA (now that I can finally stand to be outdoors)....





Doesn't change your suckage factor though.


Sincerely, your Bacon serving, BMW failing, Bearded friend...

Did the cheap roll of saran wrap three weeks ago about the same time as when you were out there the first time. Looked at the weather, saw that I had to drive through a bunch of crap, ran up to the store got a roll and wrapped that sucker. Worked great. The bike looked like yours going over Vail pass. Once I got to Green River I cut it off an threw it away. Kept the mag chloride off.

Not sure but probably not.. we do the "family thing" every 2 years generally.
...besides... we have a heater now so we don't have to go south

The van now has almost 36,000 miles on it

Hey Bill,

Cool van .. even comes with the first letter of your first name on the side.

I think I would probably prefer Geek's conversion, but realistically could only afford yours.

What model is that? A winnebag?
