Clotheshanger on the handlebars, now there's an idea!!!! It'll air it out for ya' too!!!!

jimr · 05-31-2006, 12:11 PM

Hang the suit in the bathroom, run the shower HOT for awhile. It will steam the wrinkles out pretty well. Or buy one of those small steamers to take with you. I use one when I go out of town. Works well and you cant burn stuff like you might with an iron. If its a decent size hotel they can probably de-wrinkle it for you ( for a small fee of course ) .

Hmm, let me think... Nope, it would get covered in bug since it wouldn't be covered if I want to air it out...

What about braking?

I would invest a few $$$ in some soft luggage that fits over the passenger seat. In there, you have enough space to fold (or roll) the clothes without crushing them.

An alternative would be a sports bag "bungeed" to the seat, but there you need to be a bit more careful that stuff isn't getting crushed and wrinkeled by the bungee cords.

Amazingly, yes I can! I can even the speedometer if it's properly placed. Too many expenses lately so I'm trying to avoid additionnal costs.

Sunny! We have a pic for you here!

**inspiron** · 05-31-2006, 03:05 PM

Actually, I've found some others for sunny ... all you have to do is go to Google, enter "Kilt" and click on "Google Pictures" ... there are lots of "interesting" pictures for women to enjoy.

Try wrapping the suit in one of those plastic bags that you get from the dry cleaners. Tried it a few times with shirts and they came out with no wrinkles. Also check with the hotel ahead of time and see if they have a one hour dry cleaner available. Those are great and well worth the cost.

If this is going to happen for real i think I will gear up with helmet mounted camera and go for the chase

An event like this must be recorded. This will be the show of the year. I think Sunny will just as satisfied if she never get to see that picture of you with the kilt.skirt?? LOL!

I missed this one.

**Louis** · 06-14-2006, 12:24 PM

Could be worth setting up for a picture though!

"THE CAPE RIDER...........

Talking about the business suit picture, not the kilt one.

kwc50 · 06-14-2006, 01:24 PM

Most hotels today have an iron and ironing board in each room. If not, you can always get one from the front desk.

Well if it does get wrinkled. If you are staying in a hotel,, take a couple of coat hangers from the room and hang them in the shower the night before and turn on the hot water and the shower. Close the bathroom door and the steam will help de-wrinkle the clothes.

If you don't have time then hang them in there while you are taking a shower.
The more steam the better. Only thing is if it gets too damp then you may need to let it air out for a little bit to keep it from wrinkling too easy while wearing it.

That is why I steam them the night before. No bathrooms,, forget it then.

You're good to go then. Steam the clothes or iron them,, either way,, who cares about wrinkles,, just stuff the clothes in there and hit the road.

I like this idea. i have used the hair dryer in some occasions but this steam idea is next to try. i tried some of those Black & Decker traveler steamers and what a waste of time.
