Bike & Jeep

So check this out…
I started using an old roof rack I had stripped off the wife’s Subaru. Coming back from a ride, I was thinking about how great of a time I had on my new 29er (the bike was only two weeks old) I rounded the corner of my driveway, hit the garage remote and rolled right in… well half way, when I heard a thud and scrapping sound coming from the top of my Jeep.

I remember clearly thinking… NOoooooo, oh $#!+

I sat in the Jeep for a moment… staring at the inside of my garage. I finally got out and just walked into the house… didn’t even look at the damage I had done. I finally came back out to see the carnage about 20 minutes later. The new 29er frame was bent and the entire rack had been pushed back about 8 inches from it’s original position on my Jeep’s rack.

I’ll never use another roof rack… I’m just too absent-minded to remember it’s up there and I’d rather thrash my bike out on the trail.
