The Nullabor

You forget I grew up in outer Boganville... even with a tertiary
education and the ability to use words longer than 'beer... tits... and
caww... that's a bit of alright' I still feel a cultural imperative to
wear my native blue singlet, shorts and thongs on occasion. Although I
keep the flannies for special occasions these days (hung next to the
business suits). [1]

[1] I still can't bring myself to wear a white singlet though

 

Depends on the season... : )

I find 3 pair of each sufficient and I don't wear singlets. I can wash 'em
where I'm staying or if I'm in unfriendly territory I can slip into a
laundromat.

It's a Bagster. Or was. I killed it...

 

I might wear a Jackie Howe in Summer but t-shirts are America's equivalent
of the singlet. To wear both together would be like wearing jocks with
y-fronts over the top...

 

Sure it wasn't Conehead?

I invite all the non singlet wearing people along on the BMW icicle ride

Don't you people get cold riding in 2 degrees C without as many layers
of clothes as possible?

*impressed look* that takes some doing...

I know where you're coming from, I used to carry a 3 man tent, airbed,
sleeping bag, tools, wax cottons, spare pairs of jeans, shoes, shirts, cold
weather clothing, photography and video equipment, tripod, hydraulic jack,
spare tubes, tyre irons and patches, K-Y, a dunny roll, thermos etc...

that so some attitude modification was needed.

But now I'm older I like the hot shower, coffee, TV, If I need to wash my
smalls I can use the bathroom sink and I like the real bed that I can have a
wank in.

 

I did 25,000kms in a rough figure of eight with a lap of Tassie thrown in.

 

I got one there and it was a whitewall.

 

And to get the bead out of the old rim we had to stand on it and jump up and
down.

 

Ah, you Queenslanders. You're meant to wear jumpers _over_ your shirt.
Hope that helps,

I'd rather being wearing polypro longs than a cotton singie, thanks
all the same

I haven't worn one since I left home at 18 and my mum could no longer make
me.
I'm closer to 70 than you, but still under.

Of course.

That would extend your touring range by a week!

I tend to go with the singlet (grey) and a heated vest on those rides.

The last time I got a bit cold was riding at -6 degrees C, on the K1100LT
with heated grips and a heated vest.

About 19,000km, but I followed a slightly non-standard route:

I went through 2 rear tyres and 1 front, they're not all that hard to
get replaced if you visit the occasional major city.

Nahh; one of the triple-rotated, inside-out jocks escaped it's baggie and
the fumes melted the bindings!
