16 inch wheels.

I'm not sure how old the tires on my race bike are. I have put six or seven races on them this season (one wet, the rest dry, ranging from about 40-95 degrees), and I'm not sure how many races the previous owner had on them before I got it. They still have crap ton of tread.

What's stopping me from doing the same with a new-gen? (I've carried several dozen donuts in a similar fashion using bungee cords.)

^^^ Yea but can you carry a case of beer? If so please post pics.

I don't drink alcohol (religious reasons); may I substitute an object of similar mass and size? (It would also have to be tomorrow since I'm 200 miles away from Aria.)

Note: this thread isn't serious, don't take it that way. It was conceived after putting a fairly sizable dent in that case of beer.

Besides, even if I bought a case of beer of that type, I'll probably get beat up by any of my friends when I attempt to give the beer away. I would have tried to do the trick with a case of Natty Light or Lone Star Beer (a.k.a. really really crappy and cheap beer according to my friends).

I would have done it with one of my spare computer cases.

Speaking of beer, can a pre-gen transport a keg?

Probably not, there wouldn't be any good way to tie it down. I did ride up alongside and give a big

to some guys with a keg strapped to the top of their VW the other day. They thought it was funny.

Meh, I've transported an 18 pack of beer in bottles a couple of times.

Of course, I had to take them out of the box and stack them gently in my backpack.

I commend you for staying away from alcohol. Yes, substitution will work.
