As for the bugs........with a top speed of 60 kph thus far, the bugs just bed themselves in and "go along for the ride"......blissfully flying off when I arrive home!

Just shave your hair off Rob, no need for worry or a brush (or vanity) then And I'm sure Kerry won't mind!

Buzz cut FTW. Easy maintenance in general.

Openable mask-type helmet helps. When I put my lid on I turn it forwards, put it in my head and then turn back pulling my hair back with it. When I take it off I look like wil willis, but just a few strokes with my fingers and I'm ready to go. Another thing is I have my hair wax in my pocket and put it on when I get to work, not at home.

If I ever put hair wax on my head I imagine it would look like polished floor boards

We thought a No1 would be best.......always a good look on a "biker chick"!

Never know?....with the new bike and new haircut, might just head up to a particular street party/parade which is held on an annual basis in Sydney........no,no,no ......only kidding!

Cheers,
Robster

Ooooh! I just did an image search and (I believe wisely) decided NOT to post a picture of said bike parade.

Cheers, SB

You should've just not even mentioned the helmet. That would've made it even more amusing to see the look on her face when she realized that she had to wear one/when you handed it to her. LOL
