Nice day for a ride...

Lol!
You are a man of great wealth in knowledge and experiences..some of which may be dubious..but I would drink a pint with you any day...but not that Aussie piss.

No the stuff we sell you lot is rubbish, no self respecting Aussie will drink Fosters and only idiot Queenslanders drink XXXX, they call it that because Queenslanders can't spell beer!
We have a great many drinkable beers that we keep for ourselves and many fine whiskies and gins! We have rums too but yet again we leave them to the Queenslanders

WARNING,
Keep children, small animals, and those of a  nervous disposition away from this post!

And at the risk of upsetting the sensibilities of the Antipodeans among us. Here's a full on action piccy of me hooning down Hartside Pass at approaching 40mph!

Different bike colour, different helmet, no beard & Campagnolo, that could have been me in my racing days.
40mph over Trough of Bowland avoiding recalcitrant sheep at almost every turn, now that promotes brake care to a point of obsession.
Sorry Cobb’s, there might be more pro than anti on the ‘Bar!

David, there’s something odd about the bottom bracket that makes me wonder.
It might be an optical illusion but certain aspects of your bike look overly large, as if you might have supplementary assistance of some type.
Just a thought.

Where's that strange bloke with the hammer and nails when you need him? Admittedly there generally aren't many coffee tables about outdoor but surely any suitable wooden surface would do?

Indeed, How do you think a 71 year old got UP Hartside, 🤣 
 

Well my dear wife Lynn has gone over to the Dark side today..I'm well buggered now.
   

You'll have to buy another one.
Or you´ll kick the bucket trying to reach her 

I know! 
On the test ride she found Turbo mode! 😁

No wonder there's no room for more cars....bloody joint is up to the eyeballs with bicycle nonsense! Some folk have terrible priorities!
