Hey Jay - sorry, yes, the Supernova light made the journey as well. After unpacking it all I disconnected the light and wiring and placed it in a safe spot. In my excitement to ride the Ram I simply jumped on and rode away. I will definitely reconnect it today. Yes, those good folks at Trek knew what they were packing - they really wanted to make sure it made the journey safely.
Yes Andy, I realize my descriptors were perhaps a bit on the bland side, maybe closer to an ultra-light shade of beige ......*shhhh*, we don't want *too *many people to know what we know, though, right? To quote Ned Ryerson from *Groundhog Day*, "Am I right or am I right or am I right? Right.....right..... right."
