Yup, that's the conclusion I came to. No bikes are going on my roof rack. Its just too risky. Now that I have Tone's hitch, I will be buying a hitch mounted rack for my 2 TREKs.

it was a MAJOR pita to get a bike on the roof of the vx.. its just too tall.. it was just a matter of time before i dropped a bike on my roof or the side of my vx... i would recommend getting a hitch and a hitch mounted bike rack.. i sent tone an order for one of his tow hitches on friday, he had his fabricator start on it the same day and it will be shipped before he leaves for moab on friday...
