HEY ED,
I was chattin' to an Omara guy yesterday on Beach Rd. I think his name was Warwick Nevins, or Evans, or Wokka, or something. Says he races a lot, and he seemed to know EVERYONE who passed us.
Know him? Seemed like a good 'dude'

It didn't always happen and I think that it must be my suspension seatpost. It's always been nice and poofy but now it's downright bouncy bouncy.
Is there a way I can tighten it up, or loosen it up?

If he's eating the biscotti from Starbucks he's already corrupted. You're far better off eating the shortbread from Peet's on a bike. Far less chance of losing large chunks, though the crumbs in the drivetrain can be a b1tch.

climbo was racing, well at least I think he was. If he was the beanpole wearing black then he'll need to go on a diet to stay in this forum: he's far too thin!
I suggest a few weeks of the supersize me diet.

Okay. Here's my second. FARK I HATE PETA!
A bigger bunch of ******* I doubt walk this planet. Leaving aside for a second the argument on whether mulesing is cruel or not. Those dumb ******s can't seem to get through their heads that mulesing isn't exactly used widespread in Australia anyway. I live in a sheep farming area. I've got a heap of family who are sheep farmers. And I don't know of a single property in this area that does it. But according to Peta, they're mistreating their animals just by association, and have their produce defamed as a result. That's like the US saying the 9/11 bombers were Arab, so all Arabs should be killed. Hang on...
Did anyone see when that stupid Peta b1tch was on 60 minutes a couple of months back. Farkin loony didn't believe in having pets, and that fishing was cruel and shoudl be banned. And people listen to these mad _nts.
