I was looking at one of them. Was it small enough? The geometry looked a bit too big for me. You gals have fun in Adelaide!

Nice bike, FG, I test rode one (top of the range) last year, pity that I can't afford the 10K price tag, sigh!

Yeah, even 8 grand is pushing it! Maybe after my daughter completes school, I can divert the money that I spend on school fees towards a new bike....there's only 10 months to go

Yeah, but that was last year!!! By the time we pay off the school fees for this, our final year ever, and then save up for a new bike it will be 2013....Mr MM has to finish paying off his Fondreist as well Doesn't hurt to look and go for a test ride every now and then

So how are we all doing. Just came home from the TDU Love it so much, I am happy that I finished, I have to say I found it hard as I have not been on a long ride like this for 8 years. It was worth it

Congratulations Apple! I'm so happy you made it (I knew you would)! Bit worried that Tony Abbott has now followed you to Adelaide - he is keen  were you able to lose him in the airport?
