The car is Satin Blue from the Audi R8 with subtle Carbon Accents. The goal is not to be flashy and as a plus I won't have to wax it. Just run it through the touchless car wash a couple times a week. Just call me lazy.

Version 1 Tranny is 700r4
Version 2 Tranny is going to be a 4l60e with a Twist machine Paddle shift set up. ( already own it and can't wait to put it in down the road )

I have the billet pedal assembly to run a manual trans but I want a nice cruiser right now so Auto magic it is.

There are two bikes for the car.

Bike 1 is a Trek Ticket (Show Bike)
the bike is Silver with Blue Accents ( it's pretty bitchen looking)

Bike 2 is a Jamis Dakar 650b Pro
with Red Industry9 Torch Hubs & there new Trail Rims, Race Face bars, stem, seat post, cranks and a SRAM drivetrain.
this has become my new go to bike and I want it with me so I can ride after a Good-Guys Show.

I just tricked out an older Trek hardtail, and when it was done i was like, "ewe". didnt quite come out like i'd hoped.

I missed it, did you go auto or manual? When i'm done after a 3 hour loop (and its been since last year, before my surgery) the last thing i want/need is more left leg work outs. But i put a T56 in mine. I will have bike mounts, just dont know where yet. I'm working on some trunk lid ideas, with the handle bars facing forward, parallel to the car.....
