sent the info for the deposit on the rental bike.

if i cut it down to the bone i should be able to save 800 bucks a month.
maybe.

then i can just ship my bike to and from germany and not have to worry about egotistical middlemen...

MEN!

some things i wonder about, concerning my flight to deutschland.

what if i get stopped?

can i wear my steel toed biker boots on board?
can i wear my leather jacket and chaps(so i don't have to pack them)?
can i take my motorcycle helmet on board?
will packing my toolkit in my one peice of luggage cause a problem?
how large a knife can i pack without having my luggage confiscated?
