What bike did you ride today?

[Miq]

Finished building a second headlight and wiring both of them up this morning. Always wanted a dual light setup since seeing them on @mrg ‘s and @saladshooter ’s 38 Zeps. Just looks right having two eyes.

I rode the ‘41 Colson to the outer northern Melbourne suburb of Coburg today to Pentridge Prison (now a residential and shopping complex). On the return ride I passed through a section of Royal Park which I haven’t been through before and came across this plaque. Little did I know this park represented an important time in history between our 2 countries. Please take the time to read the plaque in the photo explaining the significance of Royal Park.

This coming Tuesday is our national day of remembrance. Thank you to all the men and women who served and continue to serve protecting our beautiful country.

Chose to ride a ‘30’s Roamer Moto Bike

View attachment 1825445Had no idea at beginning of day what lay ahead today

View attachment 1825446I was feeling really strong today, so thought it might turn into a high mileage day. Had fun chasing down a couple different guys on modern mtn bikes. After one guy waved me around he proceeded to draft me for 2 1/2 mi, I finally yelled back “ are you content to draft a guy on an almost 100 year old single speed who’s already ridden 50 miles?” We then proceeded to ride awhile, and he was asking me all kinds of questions about my bike.

View attachment 182545762 gravel miles later and I rode my first metric century on a vintage bike with OG gearing.

Epic!

So Awesome & inspirational!
i was thinking of your gravel path this morning.
Fiddling around with gear in the box, i realized the Light was waiting GREEN for me to go ride the "Dirt" mile, by the Edison Sub-station...

Picked the same bike as yesterday because of Love, and it was Out-N-Ready!
It's "Dad's Bike"

This coast wind is my "mountain", clocked me at 12 mph into it. 19 mph with it, the other way.

Turned around to ride with these local riders, for a fun extra-loop.

i did get to draft for some "Wind-block" going back, traded off with a Lower gear rider for about 5 miles back; super-helpful & Fast!

52 miles original 26/10 1"pitch gear, having a great time!

Ride em don’t hide em !

Back at the watering hole
My grandson has been enjoying riding grandmas bike
I’ll drop the saddle on one of mine next time for him.

@Che that Tornado is killer. Is that the NOS light, I was too slow on, that @badbob sold this week? So glad you got it if so, it’s perfect on your bike!

No shuttle this week Klunking. Had to earn it climbing for 6 miles but the ride back down was worth it. Another fun ride with my buddies around Granite Mountain.

One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn’t belong…. Somehow the Wald kickstand even worked in the sand.

@Miq Hi Miq yea that light was from @badbob Sorry I beat you to it but as you mentioned it’s a match for the Tornado and this is my cleanest original bike except tires tubes .
I Love your Klunker and most of all your outstanding photography I am a major Dessert Landscape fan and have a garden you would be proud of .
