and js wants me to lead LOL not such a good idea. on last ride i managed to lead 2 riders into a blind corner full of sand all i could think of is if i go down their going to finish me off and it might be painful. somehow we all managed to stay upright.

Careful bud. As you go to leave from the look out, instead of moving down the pavement to the left, look right, There is a gravel road there. It's not too bad. A little wash board but otherwise in pretty good shape. I kept it pretty much under 30kmh for the most part, and picked my line.

Haven't touched the iron since my scarlet days. Dry cleaning nearby STC is $1.75 a shirt. Nothing more need be said.

That's probably cheaper than doing a load of laundry (wash, dry, iron)!
Poor people in the back sweating away for $1.75! Crazy!

TrickyGirl · 07-21-2008, 10:00 AM

Well boys the bike is 98% done....good enough for a road trip!
The paint turned out....well....lets just say I love the colour, but could do without some of the dust!

But all in all I'm super happy!

Have a look.....Charlotte Has Arrived!

Cheers!
