just a quick 60 miles today but just sooooo good to get out on it. the new rear wheel is so much easier to clean than the last type. He loves that one by the way, i didn't.

I have NEVER made an easyout do anything useful and today has been no exception. Sheared aluminium front mudguard mounting screws were (after much easyout cursing) drilled out and re-tapped.

Since we are showing man caves, here's mine.

Ripped it to pieces for the last time, most major parts are now with their new owner.
Storm, that is, a lovely ride out in the rain tomorrow at a santa run at the special needs school where my wife is a teacher.

I'm REALLY impressed you recognised it from such a snippet. You are, of course, correct.

It is (or was, I'm not sure about now) available from the National Gallery as a high quality print. Which you can then get framed. It really is quite fascinating to look at.

The orange chairs were on sale at Ikea years ago. The dogs like them.....

Ah. I've always wondered what the proper name for "wet dog smell" was.

It was a tricky one - I racked my brains and initially thought it could be either Titian or Raphael - it's been quite a while since I studied Renaissance painting. Bronzino was a bit of a one hit wonder!
