Rigging for Short commutes

[timjmcconnell at gmail.com (Timbo)]

I could get on the highway and all that. But I usually do drive far on
weekends for differnet reasons. The reason I don't bike is because my
bike was stolen from my porch. FUN. Also, crossing Peoria, Parker and
Havana is a bit insane, especially in the mornings. And lastly -
there's nowhere to put a bike at the dealership!

I am getting new tires and all tie rods and bolts and things, then
I'll be able to drive far without the shaking. I'm also putting on my
new TT 2" exhaust with the new muffler.
