              Cut his roof off at the middle of the pillars.

                  First of all, should have snatched that fairing. Get that while you can.

                  I would poke around, I'm not too sure how that rack is put together.

                  I know my yakima just doesn't look very secure to me, even if I did have the keys to lock it.

                    I know how to pick locks, but that doesn't help you - I just wanted to post and show off my massive e-cock in front of you with out helping at all.

                    (no really - picking locks is easy - that's what I would do. A little flaring like that would be simple)

                      yeah, time to pick that shit. remember to hit all the tumblers. lol.

                      or a sawzall, then you get to tinker with it at home. i remember when i first got started on e30's, i took like an hour to remove a fucking steering wheel, because the column was locked. then the junkyard closed and i had to leave. fucking mtech wheel too. argh.

                      anyhoo, good luck.

                          First time out - it will take you 15 mins to get the first one, then 3-4 mins for each other one. But you don't seem like the kind of guy that can stand still that long.
