Hello! It's a beautiful day out here, anyone going for a ride, been for a ride lately, or got a bike at all?

Yes I have one and there is nothing quite like rideing with the wind and the noise, total freedom and it makes you forget about the rest of the world.
With the exception of minor interuptions from time to time from concered people making sure we are kept safe as you can see on the left.
and here is my little bike

Never been one for motorcycles, only bicycles including a penny farthing (ordinary or highwheel).
However a friend asked if I wanted to try his new bike (TT500), only the second time on a motorbike.
Wow, the power was scarey. I promptly gave it back for fear of destroying it.
Apparently is considered a top off road bike.
I'm looking for another penny farthing to share with local community children if anyone comes across one.
Edit - EMB, I was thinking of posting that song. Ahhh, great minds.

that's a car with 2 wheels. could you pick it up? i bet you can't cos it probably weighs more than 300 kilos.
i drove a 200 kg chopper cos i have ducks disease. i have naturally rather big muscles (peasant stock) compared to other women but i could hardly pick up the bike when i dropped it.
one should be able to pick up the bike if it drops, there is no point in having a bike you cannot pick up.
also i had a look at the performance. i had a yamaha 535. i also had a book with all the stats about the yamaha choppers. i read it. turned out my bike was the fastest cos the bigger ones are to bloody heavy to be any faster than mine. mine exceeded 180km/h on the autobahn downhill.
