My Dream

 

In 2007, a mere filly, was I,

But dreaming already, racing highest clouds in the sky.

 

Born to the proud, small bloodline of FELT,

Top racing honours of F1, I was dealt.

In 2008, my young Garmin-Chitpole cousins joined Tour de France,

Ready were they, to make their stance!

Though a thing they did not win, they did not lose any face,

With such a pedigree, I … was born to RACE !!!

 

My first owner a jockey BIG, his name was Rod,

So with strong heavy stuff, I was shod.

With Shimano R500 up front, and Mavic at the back,

This tell you I can, I took a lot of flak.

Such un-pair of shoes, what a disgrace,

How will I ever, be able to RACE ?!?

 

However, despite the heavy shoes,

For years a many, I did not have a lot of woes.

Many happy Nelspruit centuries we did, I can say,

But then we moved to Gauteng: Please help me pray!

All this horrible traffic, Rod could not brace,

And now I beg you, how will I RACE ?!?

 

So a dark, rainy day in Sandton, the time was to sell,

BAAHHH!  Such a useless greenhorn, I can tell !!!!

And ALAS! To my worst disgust,

A year alone in the stable, I, was gathering dust!

The darkest of clouds, descended over my base,

Never again I will smell the adrenalin … of the RACE…

 

I was getting ready, to Rest ... In ... This … Dark … Place…

 

But WAIT!  Training now we’ve been, just over a year,

This tell you I can, our riding went up a gear!

Joined at Gauteng Champs and Emperors, the VB lot,

And stayed with them we did, on the trot!

Though growing old I am, with dignity and grace,

I am eventually….:  BACK in the RACE !!!!  

 

YEEEEEE  HAAAAA  !!!! 

 

With coach Jaco, hard taskmaster at our side,

We’re training wacco, for year of next, big Cape Town ride.

But I’m afraid I’m still shod, with that un-gaitly lot,

If stay like this I do, we’ll surely miss the plot!

Right now our hearts, are right in the place,

With Darkhorse shod we surely will …. WIN THE RACE !!!

 

So honourable Darkhorse steed,

I urge you to do, the noble deed:

Please restore to me, my never-had, race-bred glory,

The last Golden chapter then to write, of my long story.

The competition then, we will outpace,

In any … future RACE !!!

That's all good and well, but as long as you (and the other posters in this thread) remember to...

 

2. Post your photograph on Facebook or Twitter;

3. Tag @DarkHorseWheels and @Bike Hub (Facebook) or @BikeHubber (Twitter) in your post or photo; and

 

Done (posted on Facebook), but I am such a greenhorn with social media, I hope I did it correct...

 

(I go sit in the garden if I want to hear some Twitter)...  :whistling:

I decided on the prefect mix between couch photo for the purists, a newly waxed bike for the perfectionist, in the big ring because who even uses the small one, then the reason I have not bought deep sections for the ladies.

Some things get better with age - but not my 40 year old bike. New wheels will help me upgrade.

 

SHOT man - been looking all over for a pic of a Springs built chopper in the same colour scheme as mine!  I wanted to check if the mud guards had been painted purple as all the pics I have seen of choppers have got chromed mudguards. I just need to find a gear knob for it and the seat strap and she is complete! 

 

DAY MADE!!!

 

PS, hope you win the wheels for such a noble deed, i was thinking about doing something similar
