welcome to the board one and all!
Squeaky: yup - mine either squeak or rattle or clang or Lord knows what!! and I gotta tell ya - the She-Ra Princess of Power Tiara goes to anyone in my book who rides a century cold after being off a bike for 2 years!
Ocul: I just got a Trek 1000 WSD.........sweet bike. Course it wasn't fast enough for me so she's back at my LBS right now having different gearing put on. and I was in Stitches reading about your hubby trying to sweet talk a cow - that had to have been something to see!
Clock: ok....My first thought when I saw you name was the movie and I must say it intrigued me to figure out why you picked Clockwork Orange for an ID.....now I'm intrigued by your bike!! Never heard of it....know nothing about it and would LOVE to see a pix of it!!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
