Something new other than bikes!

Retro Toys!

I had a dream about a toy I had as a child.

An Air Blaster! It was an air powered buggy.

I have to have one!

I need to get into the habit of posting more often!

I have bought another bike. yes this one makes number 10 or something.
The cast in order of purchase
1) 2009 Stumpjumper
2) 2007 Kuwahara KZ-1R (Chrome)
3) 2007 Kuwahara Laserlite
4) 2009 SE Racing Quad (white)
5) 2007 Kuwahara KZ-1R (black)

7) 197? Repco
8) Kuwahara Minilite 16"
9) SE Racing DC Edition Quad (Black)
10) 2009 Specialized Roubaix

Yes I have bought a road bike. And yes Dave is putting the pressure on to buy lycra.

I was looking for a roadie purely because I do ride down the M7 and it would be easier than an MTB. Also Avanti and Specialized have had a falling out and the Specialized gear is super cheap.

So long story short, I was cruising ebay and bikeexchange.com and found in Bundaberg a guy selling older bikes for next to nothing. It just so happened i was traveling to Bundaberg for a meeting. I went into the store and checked it out. Mike was with me and he couldn't believe the prices himself.

I bought it home, or back to mikes house, and Mike stripped it and rebuilt it fully.
The maiden voyage was last sunday. I liked riding it and it was easy to go quicker than a MTB. I was still slower than Dave and Trent but I'm not out to beat anyone.
After the ride I was stuffed. Dave really pushed me hard to the finish line. My legs were screaming at me to stop and my arse just stopped talking to me. 42K's round trip.
I hope this gets easier!
