Fukk, no. I remove the chainguard, fenders, and reflectors....and send 'em out on I-29 at dusk to retrieve aluminmum cans, so I can earn some beer money from recycling. The four of 'em can usually scrounge up enough cans for a twelve pack of domestic/six pack of imports within an hour.



(FTR, Helmet, yes; knee-pads....eh, no--R U friggin' kiddin' me? )
