A different variety of bike p0rn

Here's a change from the usual CF & Ti bling bling and various exotica - a heady selection of the delights of bike baskets. Now here's one we perved on earlier: Phoooarrr.

Weeeeeeee! Round and round we go!
After enduring two winter lurgies in quick succession (or maybe it was only lurgii with a secondary infection) I've copped a crappy dose of vertigo. Now as anyone who has tried to deal with vertigo will probably rea… Continue

At 4:03pm on April 6th, 2008, Mark Donnellan said…: any help would be gratefully rec'd. i've organised to take the day off so if i can get some help with muscle (the kind that isn't too scared of angry bees) that'd be great. i normally borrow the extraction gear from a friend in coburg - can you call me when you've got a mo' - 9387 2475 or o4o9 978 226.

At 3:54pm on April 6th, 2008, Mark Donnellan said…: Hi Chris,

I'd planned to harvest on this coming Tuesday - I've got three super's full. However, on Friday I fell off my new (old) ride and have buggered up my shoulder. Assuming that it all heals nicely (prognosis is OK), I'll have to get up on my shed roof before it gets too cold.

A mate of mine has made me a top bar hive - truly beautiful bit of equipment:

This is spring's project - catch a swarm and move them in. Just need to think about where to put it.

Cheers,

if you, how many hives and where do you keep them?

At 1:32pm on April 1st, 2008, Wrightstuff said…: Hi Chris, dont know if I can get to many of the CoY's Bac meetings for a while, it's footy season again and I have to get James off to umpire training in Doncaster. Missed Sunday's Yarrabug meeting as well as I was at the footy at the G, but maybe I will get to the next one. How did you go in that MS ride around Melbourne ?

I have invited L to join the forum as well.
I do have to spend some time exploring the site.

Love the grey puss, I have one just the same.
