Back again

And I'm having a few culture-shock issues. I mean, here in Melbourne
there's more than 1 car passing by every hour, and the place is full to
the gunwales with WHITE people!

Just so that I could fit in better in this latte-enhanced city I bought
myself a genuine $15 Rolex in Suva, and in a seriously out-of-character
move on Monday I bought myself a brand-new 2005 model bike. I'm still
a bit suspicious of these newfangled aluminium frames, but I'll give it
a go.

Pictures to follow!

Not the latest 250GPz?????

 

Noooooooooooo! Say it isn't so!

(OK, what is it? My betting is on something that has pedals that go
round and round, given your proximity to the bike path.)

 

Weird, eh? Perhaps they bleach them or something?

2005?!?!! Since you're obviously taking the piss about something,
I'll just assume it's a pushie, shall I?

Welcome to Melbourne ...

Dang beaten to it.. but probably the same price as a real bike.

 

Welcome BT.

So when are you doing the rounds?

Pffft! This is BT, it'll be one of those cheap jobs from Kmart (not
that there's anything wrong with that!)

Now when are you starting the electric assist conversion BT? I
recommend them if it's hilly and your a fat bastard like me (which you
aren't but anyway...)

 

Probably a replacement for bending Minx's bike!

Welcome back BT!

 

I'll have you know that I went to a proper bicycle shop, and talked to
a proper odd-looking young bicycle salesman, and resisted his repeated
suggestions that I needed to spend at least $750 on a proper bicycle!
;-)

$299 bought a neat looking aluminium-framed mountain bike with basic
front suspension, a helmet, a pair of gloves for me, a pair of gloves
for Minx, and a new rather pervy-looking saddle for Minx's bicycle.

The bike looked a lot better once I'd peeled 80% of the stickers off
it. The saddle looked a lot better with Minx sitting upon it. :-D

I'll try to make it to the next aus.moto gathering in Melbourne, or
failing that, we're having a housewarming soon (to help us get rid of
the 6 litres of duty-free hooch...)

I'll have you know I never said those things I said about you!

It was Hamish!

Moike

 

****--is it 2015 already?

Postman Pat (_My_ new bike only has a steel frame)

 

Maybe he means 2005 according to the Sumerian calendar, as opposed to
the Gregorian? In which case there's nothing to worry about!
