I had a great time on the ride in this morning. Made sure all the motorists could see my big smile as well.

I really would like some waterproof overshoes though, the rest I don't mind.

No such exposure for me.
But i did tips me lid at one guy cruising down Payne Rd inbound this morning.
Was using Ayups well, giving him a lot of exposure, i think he was a commuter.
Me and the lazy dog walked up Coottha, it was ethereal up there.
