I fitted a double water bottle set to the handle bars with straws...scotch in one, water in the other...then I road from london to paris like that the day after my 16th birthday
I strapped a cassette player to the back and played the first 10 secs of song called "Two Wheels" by Firebird, over and over. It was the sound of a motorbike revving up.
Also I removed the handlebars off my bike as they were the slight riser style ones and put them on the other way up so they swooped down slightly. It improved my aero position no end!
I had a lucky rabbit's foot wedged next to my front mudguard under the fork. Other than that I just tried to keep it clean and shining, which it always was. I spent whole days polishing it up.
Used to make our own bikes out of ones we pilfered from the dump. They were cool and you could do anything to them!
We tried to extend the forks on one such mongrel to make it like a motorcycle chopper. Until someone took it over a home made ramp. Cue instant fork collapse.
