Good Hyena, I'm always up for a laugh!!!

I don't think anyone saw - school is on and all, park was desolate... I had to share it with someone!!!

Also, I'm just rapped to have one of these to crash!!!

I'm sure Ed played nice. I have been swayed by Kepler's approach, a chat at the lights, an offer of riding ahead for slipstream...

Perhaps we could form a tax deductible religion, door knocking and asking people if they have seen the light of ebikes, lithium powered of course....

Hey Aussie, you've inspired me to have a go at a cafe racer style build.

Have a go at this:

Glad to hear Melbournites had a great ride, theres a Perth ride on tomoro if anyone wants to come along, not funny,
I just heard from my brother who's a bit of a road racer type and he told me the reason racers shave their legs is because when they crash the wounds will heal quicker and not for the less drag theory, anyway I respect all riders except the ones that don't say G'day back or hold up traffic

Hey Sam,
Looking forward to seeing your take on the 50s Cafe Racer theme. Aprillia mechanics would be a good start. Just remember the black gloss paint, shiny metal & the chains. Gotta have those chains & gears whirling around.
