Gday..retired and starting to gain flab sooooo...get the old bike out of the shed,kill the spiders and restore it(probably could have bought a new bike for what it cost!!):)

To ensure that it isn"t a fad went on Ebay and bought some flash knicks and wicking tops. Also got some new DMT shoes for $50. Now I look the part as well and my 95kg moves thro" the air easier.:)

Geez..those tops and knicks are skin tight aren"t they??? I even bought xxl !!

Go out on the bike most days but recently we"ve just had the hottest summer on record and in Australia that"s HOT !! Therefore spent more time fiddling with the bike than riding it. Got a cool spell now so started going out today again.

OK,I"m done..just got to watch the old heart.....:thumb: Those trucks are too close....
