Starting to take notice???
« on: June 02, 2012, 02:47:27 PM »
Here I sit thinking how dum have I been over the past 40 or so years riding a bike on the road????? :think1
All those years, all I ever done was put petrol in the bike and at all times I made sure it was the cheapest :thumbsupahhhh but around 30 years ago on me old harley stroker, I did cop a heap of petrol with water in it but then I also found out how usefull a cap of Metho is to sort that problem out. One cap in the tank and you would neve even know their was water their :thumb
But now I reads I should know what kind of petrol I use???????
Neve new anything about Oil other than it was slippetry? Bloody rarely checked it, but now I knows I should have??????
Never worried much about what kind of tyres I had on me bikes. But now I knows I should have?
Never Knew anything  about brakes other than leading front shoe brakes don't slow you down. Only knew that when the brakes made noise it meant  needed pads :rofl
Bloody hell and now I finds out that riding a bike makes you get subjected to wind noise and buffeting, and after a thought and a bit of a discussion with mates we all reckon, bugs, rain, hail and all other bits of crap like sticks, leaves, birds, Roos, Sheep, Rabits, Foxes, Cats, Dogs and, and, and, ahhh people. S**T from the back of trucks and utes as well as Ciggy buts thrown out of the windows of cars. A couple of us have those roo shoos but we reckon we have the African Models as we havn't seen any Rhino's or Giraffes but still see heaps of Roos :rofl
So all I knows is that bloody computers were supposed to make my life more simple :think1 but in reality have just added to my concerns. think I'm going to dig that teacher up who taught me how to read just so I can look them in the face and tell em how hard they've made my life by doing it :||||

Stop making it hard for yourself reading all this stuff.  Go out and ride!
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Let me know where it is when you find it.  I'd rather put lights above the mirrors than below.
Better when she decides to lay down for one thing.
Slightly better light projection for another.
