Thread: Roof Bars - a safety notice !

Yep, that would stuff up your day!

damn.......

Clearly you are looking at things the wrong way. Your tyres were pumped up to way to high and your garage door opening was much too low. It is no use blaming the bike on the roof rack for being careless.

Blame it on the Air Suspension, with coils with that weight it probably would have sunk far enough

My D3 wont fit in my new garage (change of premises) even without bars and on access, good reason to brick, raise the roof and add a room above !

When I have the racks on the car I hang a sign from the back to the panel door. As it goes up I see an A4 size sign that says "Down you idiot!" SWMBO gets a laugh out of this but its saved me a couple of times.

The reason I forgot it was there (the bike) was because my brother in law had parked on the driveway and so I had to maneuver around him to get in the garage. So really it was his fault not mine !

My initial thought was **** I forgot to lower the car - which I don't need to but I do it as best practice for all the peeps getting in and out - but even after hitting the garage I still tried to lower it but it made no difference as the bike pedal was stuck between the garage facia and the roller door.

I had to cut the straps which had bent the rear roof bar and tried as carefully as I could to extract the bike limiting the scratching on the roof.

After, my wife goes "I did wonder why you were driving into the garage with the bike on top. I didn't think it would fit?" - why didn't she shout STOP then !

So I refuse to take the blame.

Doh !!!
Time to fit parking sensors to the roof rack

This conversation is useless without pics.
