I have to wash my car before I (hopefully) deliver it to a buyer on Sundee. Was hoping you could tell me if it's going to rain. Oh well. I'll wash it tomorrow morning.

looks like Gerrans has sown up the TDU.
I am not sure how well endowed he is Ed, but he sure has a fine set of balls. Sanchez is very strong.
I think he will win a tour that bloke.

You got 20 answers right.
You got 0 answers wrong.
You're a bottler, mate!
You are a fair dinkum, ridgy didge, dinky die, true blue, dyed-in-the-wool Ocker-like strine speaker. Well bugger me, you could probably even play a didgeridoo and know the proper way to twirl a billy. Goodonya. Get us another stubbie while you're up, will ya... and have one yourself while you're at it!
Might be in America, but havent lost my touch

Bludy 'ell! I thought I would have done a wee bit better. But my score's fair dinkum:
You got 16 answers right.
You got 4 answers wrong.
You'll be apples! Well... nearly anyway.
You will communicate fairly effectively with the native population, but they will still mutter "bloody yank" when you walk out of the pub.

The bikes apart! Thanks Expat for the extractor. After the crank arms came off, the rest of the bike came apart in about 2 minutes.
Any suggestions on a colour?

Banana boy would say yellow, Jock would say blue or red, Tiger (if he hasn't been consumed by a Thylacine) would say orange or pink, (it's the new black!) and Climbo would probably suggest black. White with silk-screened roses?
Flat black? Desert camo? I'd probably go with blue, as an obscure nod to an equally obscure children's book writer named Leonard Kessler.

You're a little ripper!
You have a near perfect grasp of the colourful gab and can probably make yourself understood in most social occasions, such as Gazza's weekly Barbie... but I bet you can't throw a boomerang!
Those 8 years in Sydney stood me well. The lads at the Lane Cove Country Club would be proud.

My race bike is also canary yellow and white, and it sux. Canary yellow goes with no other color.

On road bike colour choices, I thought about the road bikes from my past:
The Felt was white with carbon fork.
Cannondale was dark blue.
Ciocc was dark blue.
Basso was fuschia.
Trek was black.
Go dark.

I think Ive narrowed it down to red or black or white/cream.
I might go a little crazy and paint the fork a different colour.
