Soon as I saw these lovelies on the grid I had to search them out. Thank gawd Suzuki hired them and stuck them on their website. They now grace my desktop at home and at work. I swear they make blacksacs seedsac spontaneously drain just looking at them. :o

Great dresses those. I like the bottom pic with the chick next to Chris the V. From the way her skirts hanging and the cheeky smile, you'd almost think Chris went for the fiddle before the shot was taken. And who could blame him?! :D

He he!!

badsac 06-15-06 05:34 PM

Actually, call me slow, but do yers rekon those dresses are made out of *** paper? If so that could be an accident (or a miracle) waiting to happen.

scanning the letters in the SMH today to see what they printer RE miranda devines article, this was my fave.


Miranda Devine's diatribe against vegans, cyclists, Canberrans, Greens, Labor, the RTA, koalas, buses, trains, light rail and Clover Moore was seriously deficient. She forgot to also denigrate unionists, commies, Asians, public education, feminists, whale lovers and poofs.

I looked at my bikes yesterday.

There. You're not alone.

62vette 06-15-06 07:49 PM

I put a new rear derailleur cable on my roadie yesterday, and discovered the old one was hanging on by two threads - literally.

I must check my brake cables :eek:

Same here.

Eyeballing it, the rails look the same length as any other saddle I own (I bought it to slidew it back a tad more, looked long in the shop).

But hey, that extra 3cm of plastic sticking out the back does heaps. When I use it, it makes my little seat pack look smaller I spose.

Thylacine 06-15-06 08:22 PM

"Does my seat pack look big in these?"

:roflmao:

was_bmxer 06-15-06 08:37 PM

Posted the same thing again. Weird.

Anyway I'll say this. Purchased the evil of most cyclists 2 weeks ago, a big 4wd. Funny thing is that last Sat morning the group rode straight past my house, Mrs, mother in law,my 2 kids were in the driveway loading up the new car. A few days later, wife is driving said car to work. Usually she will zoom past cyclists (still, after my years of teaching her & making her ride through Eastern subs traffic etc etc) anyway, she waves and lets them all through, they wave back because they notice her and the new car.

I think she finally gets it.

Thylacine 06-15-06 09:24 PM

There's an irony in there somewhere.

Brian 06-15-06 09:44 PM

Hmmm. Lounge room - sofa? yep. telly? yep. 2 bikes? yep. Daughter's room - bed? nope. bikes? yep. Next room - bed? nope. bikes? yep. Methinks I'll have to consolidate them into the 2nd lounge room when the kids arrive.

Arrive? Where are the kids at the moment Expat? Stuck in quarantine? You shouldn't have packed them in the shipping container... :p

HDTVKSS 06-15-06 10:15 PM

Actually, they had their immigration interviews today. I need to fax a doc off to the consulate, and then their visas should be in the mail shortly. Can't wait to see my kids - it's been way too long.

climbo 06-15-06 10:32 PM

****, I thought they went with you Exxy, it's been a long while then.

Odin 06-15-06 11:42 PM

Like climbo said, I thought the kids went over with you, too..... fair enough you are keen to see them again. The joys of paperwork, hey?:rolleyes:

Good work. Letus know if any get back to you. I'd do the same if I wasn't so lazy. Seems chicks coated in *** papers are the only way to get a twitch out of me. ;)

Odin 06-15-06 11:57 PM

Hey Oz, does the recycle joint have much to do with older stuff?
I want to bring my old (Tange Cro-Mo) 6-speed back to life fer commutin' duties... can't go putting lights all over the shiny bike now...
The nearest lbs just stares blankly at me when I mention 6-speed stuff.
