I wanted to put a small receiver hitch on her Malibu for a more secure one; you can buy a locking hitch pin for those (another investment I made this last week, so I don't find my boat missing the same way) and then you cable the bikes to the rack, one through the front wheels, the other through the frame and rear wheels. <BR/><BR/>It's really sad that I remember growing up when you could leave a car unlocked and not worry about it...I remember the guy I bought my first bike from taking me downtown to the cafe his Dad hung out in and leaving the motorcycle sitting by the curb with the key in it!<BR/><BR/>There are things I love about this modern world (the net high among them), but those I detest as well!<BR/><BR/>alanalanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06013341654649926300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18452695.post-1160060763373026962006-10-05T10:06:00.000-05:002006-10-05T10:06:00.000-05:00I don't know why it surprises me that someone woul...I don't know why it surprises me that someone would steal something from your truck right there in a parking lot, but it does. Good thing it wasn't a very expensive item, like your spare, and it gave you an incentive to take that precaution. We're planning on traveling in December and taking our bikes on a rack-- I think we'll look for a very secure rack.robin andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06386655587963143782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18452695.post-1160034872589102022006-10-05T02:54:00.000-05:002006-10-05T02:54:00.000-05:00I hadn't thought of it like that, though I guess t...I hadn't thought of it like that, though I guess the gold "bow-tie" was too much for someone to either resist or stand...not sure which!<BR/><BR/>:o)<BR/><BR/>alanalanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06013341654649926300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18452695.post-1160021221441638672006-10-04T23:07:00.000-05:002006-10-04T23:07:00.000-05:00*giggle* I thought of you "pimping your ride," too...*giggle* I thought of you "pimping your ride," too!<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you get Halloween off with the grandkids.CrackerLilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18176388186521154104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18452695.post-1159984385029310552006-10-04T12:53:00.000-05:002006-10-04T12:53:00.000-05:00Hi Alan!Pimping your truck sounds great.Hi Alan!<BR/><BR/>Pimping your truck sounds great.Krankihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06462291033293033179noreply@blogger.com
