That should ensure that I'll be in great shape for adventure come the spring. Speaking of which, we were in Toronto on the weekend dropping our daughter Lauren off as she leaves our nest empty, and it was crazy warm there! 15C (59F)!!

I concur that they are very, very good. I was a little skeptical on the short bungy section, but it adds that very stiff "give" that ensures that the load won't budge. When they aren't restraining anything, just giving them a little tug allows them to lie flat on the floor and out of the way. Very impressive.David Massehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346419242154545286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776318709416054670.post-74916000439141832632013-01-11T17:39:44.708-05:002013-01-11T17:39:44.708-05:00Good stuff and very versatile and durable, I have ...Good stuff and very versatile and durable, I have both lengths, too.

I don't like those coat hanger ends, which also bend and scratch your racks.<br /><br />Rok Straps do not scratch and are more secure. Plus they can be adjusted to fit nearly every situation.<br /><br />You purchased two sets, RIGHT ?<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Riding the Wet Coast</a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14805736@N04/" rel="nofollow">My Flickr</a> // <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/bobskoot" rel="nofollow">My YouTube</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.com
