Kranswurm Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Lion man at Mabalingwe. Fantastic route.Thats it.Loved it but the long distance was quite a work out
kosmonooit Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 just reading the thread about fat-shaming. Remember the bumper stickers in the 80's. My fave: "Save the whales. Harpoon a fat chick" Imagine putting that on your car now. you would be sued...I remember that - always found it fundamentally disgusting. But hey, that's me.
Andymann Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Ironically I pulled up next to a taxi this morning and on the door he had a sticker "No fat chicks"......

MrJacques Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 I still have mine, but the 'puller' gears are a bit worn so it doesn't get the bike going properly. Those were cool toys Hairy 1
The Ouzo Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 I still have mine, but the 'puller' gears are a bit worn so it doesn't get the bike going properly. Those were cool toys Those and then there was also a car that you blew into and it spun up a flywheel of sorts, sounded like a Boeing.
MrJacques Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Those and then there was also a car that you blew into and it spun up a flywheel of sorts, sounded like a Boeing. I have that one as well I searched a bit, they are called Whistle Racers and it looks like they are still making them, I see pics of a Veyron and modern Mustang.

Bonus Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 I had a Pink Panther one. Too fast for indoors but not rugged enough for outdoors!
