backordered for three flipping weeks!!!! grrr....

I'm saving a little coin to buy a bike carrier for my MINI
Cooper. (Sold my pickup, so no way to carry the SB, yet).

You should visit the MTBR AZ Forum (thread about what people don't want to
hear anymore) for comments on the "shakedown cruise" :-)

I think I would have bought another cassette in the interim then used it as
a spare later.

part was backordered at the Performance Bike store (Kyrene & Ray) too...
(8 Speed cassette. I'm going "old" school on this baby). :-)

I'll have to check out the shakedown cruise as you suggest....

Hey sport, why don't swing by that Goodwill store where you got
your Magna. Maybe they've got some old football gear lying around.
Make sure you get one of those old leather helmets, (no face guard).
Your mug is pretty durable. Heck, with a rig/setup like this,
"Dakota" is a snap. As always, post a detailed RR.
