    My recommendation is to save some coin and get a sticker printed.

    If you want to delete your antenna mount, Just Do It!

    You always have the option of taking the SLR for a squirt if you want to listen to Kyle Sandipants.

    vkcommo - What I`m getting at is, sometimes you just have to do things and deal with the learning curve. With non critical things, carve your own thoughts into your ride. Not as if it's going to hurt anyone.

    And just for sh1t and giggles...

    Pushy = pushbike.
    Skatey = skateboard.
    Daily = turn the key, kids @ school, shoppings done, I'm @ work (and back!!).

    edit - No defects on the way ( if only).

    anyways, the point to remember is this: if a coat hanger works as an aerial works, then pretty much anything will.
