Wrapped in plastic - It's fantastic!

UpDave didn't even have to sing it, name it, but mere mention of the band AQUA forced it into my head.

When you are stuck between Matlock and Melbourne, this is not a good thing.  

Wherever you are, it is not a good thing.

There are few more iconic people in the world than Barbie.  She even has her own pink!

My first 'nice' road bike was pink.

Riding this bike was a secret weapon as half the field was ogling, and knowing that it takes a real man's man to ride a pink bike.


It was too small for me, but her strike rate was hot. I even beat Jono Lovelock on this rig.  That fact that he was only 12 at the time is irrelevant.

 

Keeping secrets

DSC_9333 by you.

They say a secret is something you tell one other person, so I disclosed to a friend I had a small pink one - and he went and told someone.

Now I feel compelled to tell the world, if only so I set the record straight.

Farrrk, there was an ad on the telly about ten minutes ago for Barbie dolls that used a version of that song, and inevitably it ended up in my head.

Then I open up this entry, with that damn song ALREADY swimming round and round in my head.

I'm a little freaked out right now. Think I might go lie down.

Oops I didn't know it was a secret!

I'll keep my mouth closed from now on, about the treasures I have witnessed in the big S.H.E.D (Serious Haven of Earthly Delights)

I have been racing and training on a pink Casati Clipper for more than 5 years now. Took the first year to get used to the colour but I love it now. Beautiful handbuilt frame and now very known in Sydney. Go the pink guys.
