I don't get to ride this week :( other stuff going on. However, I did get to take a pic of his relic on my phone. Those are Dad's wrinkley old fingers in the corner.
There is an offroad trek coming up and he has submitted his application to compete with 2 other blokes. There are more applicants than positions available though. So he is looking at forking out another $3-4K for a flash offroader. His $300 job is apparently not up to spec
