Title: Canola and Tiger snakes
Post by: mr blackstock on September 22, 2017, 09:51:21 PM
That time of the year again, the lovely wafting of old potato smelling canola, pretty to look at, but that's about it, and bloody tiger snakes wandering the roads thick as yer arm, hungry and randy to boot!

If you were riding the FJ you wouldn't be broke down on the side of the road dodging tiger snakes.   :rofl:   :rofl:   :rofl:

I love riding through there in Spring, or any season really.

AAAhhh, Springtime!

Last Sunday morning I headed out of Tumut on the bike and it was -5deg. Today I was sweltering inside my helmet in 30deg.

Gday,
I love this season, not many frosts make riding to work a bit more enjoyable, but the 30 minute weather changes can be a pain.  On a ride through Ballarat the temp dropped 10 degrees in as many minutes! Had to warm up in servo.
My trusty XJ will be my ride while Lilly undergoes her annual refurbish and maintenance ritual.  One day riding the XJ serves as a great reminder of the FJ's sweet handling
