Well not a Motorcycle

I was looking at the Rockhopper Disc Comp with the M4 frame but after comparing the components and the price it came out to about the same price with the clipless pedals.

I was about to say that I'm probably the last person to suggest this, given my back injury, but luckily you beat me to it!
Seriously though, when are we gonna do a MOB bike ride? Pavement or dirt, I'm good with both.

Sounds good.
Give me a few weeks to get back in shape.
This week I am going to start riding to work from Fremont to San Jose so that will get me started in the right direction
Hey do they make Bicycle racks for Motorcycles
Not sure How I am going to get the bike anywhere other than ride it to that location

It's called a
Johnny Rack
, and they list a model for the 620, 750, and 900 as "coming in June". Not sure if such a thing could be adapted to an S4R, though.

Um... can you say "CROSS WINDS"?!!!
Very cool though, in a disturbingly non-OSHA compliant sort of way.

Don't forget about CalTrain and BART too.

What's your schedule like? I know you have a wedding and a century coming up, among other things.
And maybe we need to do one pavement ride and one dirt ride.

I'm up for dirt or road - you name it.
That's awesome! The bike, and the bike-rack to be? Ya its a bit weird. I've seen bike racks on the Tour de France chase motorcycles. They carry a bike and extra wheels but very low behind the moto not like a big flag. I lust for one.
I just googled "motorcycle bike rack" - there's actually quite a few. Look around pre-buy. That one looks a little wonky to me.

Rob, how many miles is that?
Could be your bike fit needs a bit of adjustment too.
