Thread: On Yer Bike

With the car in the garage I dropped my daughter off at school on this this morning. (Yes I know it's a Sunday)

Looper seems to be doing alright... Good on him. Nice.

No more Jaaaaag, mate ? Too many oil leaks ? Relegated to a shallow grave in the back yard ?

Could be opened as a mobile Ann Summers given the amount of bras and undies in the fudger.

I have decided to embrace the over-55s traditional mode of locomotion with a Volvo

Contrary to popular jaag mythology mine only ever had 1 oil leak. That was when I bought her in 2009. Turned out to just be the oil pan gasket so an easy fix.

Since then she never dropped a drip or even burned any oil in the subsequent 15 years.

I was hoping she would pass away peacefully at home and I was planning to push her into the forest to be consumed by vines like Angkor Wat and become an abandoned car that I could post in Chitty's thread in 2037.

But fate had different plans and she is now in the knackers yard.

^Nice car, Looper.

May I also say, that I love your landscape bicycle pics a lot! The scenery is stunning, and especially love the peachy sunset one!
Making my itching to get my bike out hopefully in a month or less. We have some bike trips planned.

Cycling season down under will be over in a month or 2 so I had to make the most of this cloudless blue sky day to knock of 35km down to Tweed and up the coast.

I would love to experience your bike rides, stunning scenery and eye candy.

Not been on a bike ride for months now due to our wet Autumn and Winter, might get a ride out next month in Malta and update the "on my bike" thread.

^Malta looks like a nice place to ride Joe. I have explored all the Canaries with a touring bike and tent. It is good way to explore the islands.


Senorita was keen to get out on the bike after her 3 month flounce

Forecast was rain but nary a cloud in sight

The geese came to partake of our picnic

So we beat a retreat for some of her home-made spring rolls that she had been hiding under a bushel and some sliced up chicken schnitzel strips snatched from the hungry old age pensioners at her work

And some kind of exotic star shaped fruit to keep it healthy
