Complete with wooden floor...  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . But, you need one, to carry one of these home!  Yup, a Kenda rear tire, going on the front! After a year of threatening Jabba, to come down and get it, he, I, and Neal (it IS Neal, right??) met for lunch at a great Guatemalan restaurant. Strapped her down, and home we went. Jabba told me I should wear it home, like a hula-hoop, but I thought that would look too much like a tu-tu... Nice meeting two more members here. That makes a total of...well....TWO!  Thanks again, Jabba!! R |

Jabba could have just carried it in his shirt pocket !  What is so hillbilly about your innovation? Looks practical to me,but a few streamers tied to it around your waist would have made great photos ! |

Because my softside big duffel (with travel clothes) hangs down over my solo rack to rub the paint on the bag lids, I zip tied a half inch dowel across my solo rack to keep it off the paint. (it also makes access to the bags much easier while traveling)
To get a tire to the shop for install on my solo supervalk, I wear it around my waist on the ride over (like a hula-hoop), including a car tire. Do get some strange looks.... "yeah, it's a new safety device... if I fall off, I just roll to the side of the road."

Squealy says it was hell as a kid to have a verb as a name. I always tell him he should try being named after a toilet.  Good to meet you too pal. Lunch was good. And... CHEAP. Jabba |

I wouldn't dream of telling you not to like it. I just didn't. Cost me about $75 and an extra R&R on the front wheel to find out. I got an open mind. To each their own... I got way more ideas than cash. If I had $$$ I'd have some COOL stuff.
