The bus ride

A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another seat. This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again.

Re: A bit of advice from you with SP1s

On the topic of brake pads I have a bit different opinion on what is "best" which is very subjective. I run either Vesrah RJL or SRJL the other option would be Zcoo pads. Either is worth the extra cost involved IMHO. 8)

"What have you done to your bike today?" Nothing, it's too hot. But I built a model plane and razzed it around an American WW2 airbase [emoji3] https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220716/b53035a05e5114adcf3cc9f3a1a1d1c7.jpg Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk Used to fly RC stuff way back...
