Title: Peacemaker meets Hummer
Post by: blackpuddinonnabike on 06 June, 2008, 04:55:06 pm: (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3045/2555881384_742db945f2.jpg?v=1212745871)

To truly show off the ridiculous size of this I had planned to rest the bike on the grille, but didn't really want a redneck coming out threatening me with his shotgun.

Till I realised I was in Edinburgh and it had probably just dropped Tarquin and Jessica off at school.

A gorl was sitting at another bench nearby in animated conversation on her phone. It would appear I was invading her privacy as she rather annoyedly turned to face the other way.

And continued speaking in the same loud manner.

And that, combined with the Hummer, and the beer can, kinda summed up a side of Edinburgh in one photo....

(I saw one on the steps up to Calton Hill in October).

From the sublime to the Gorblimey!

How hideous.

Anth, your bike is lovely as would be expected.

The Peacemaker looks lovely ;D

Book it in for therapy immediately
