Cool - Mines a 89. FWD 1300cc carby model. Happy to pay freight or you can drop it at my Dads place in ChCh and I can arrange from there?

Plus i suppose I'd better buy you a beer or 99.... :-)

Cheers

Lol, don't worry about it Paul. I'l find it for you tonight.

Paul is the man on this one, methinks

Isn't it what WE all demand for ourselves; the freedom to be ourselves?

The lady is doing just that
---- she doesn't need our permission OR our approbation [and she certainly doesn't deserve our judgemental comments]

Although I'm sure she could care less ..... ROCK ON lady !!!

She's doing what she enjoys. Let's face it, biking is great. Go Grandma. :spudbooge

Totally agree...

We like to think of ourselves as rebels and individualists but confronted with someone that really does not care what you think of them and are happy chasing their dream... We all retreat into our safe little stereotypes and try to ridicule them...

I'd like to think that this woman has a full length mirror and knows EXACTLY what she looks like and what she is doing. She is hurting nobody and exercising a right to freedom of expression. Maybe her exterior shows a bit of mileage but by golly I bet she earned her right to be who she is. More power to you madam. I wish I had half your moxie...

The ONLY embarassing thing about this picture is the person that took the damn thing and then posted it (I'll bet without permission) on the net as an item of ridicule. To me it's a form of abuse. The people I grew up riding with... You don't do stuff like that!

Edit
I don't care less either - I'd just laugh at her. Which is probably the intent.

But we're expressing opinions -
Doesn't matter what she needs - *I* find it offensive. Put some clothes on ffs. 'Decency'.

I'm with BD, I find it repulsive.
As much as I'd like to - I wouldn't go around with my hairy arse showing, so this old bag should be a little more considerate about other peoples feelings. Some of us have just eaten our lunch.

As for being judgmental, everyone on the planet is judgemental. Anyone that says they're not is lying, it's human nature.

I actually think she's great. I've always had respect for those 'real' women who just rejoice in what they have and are comfortable putting it on display if they want, even if it's not what advertisers etc tell us is 'attractive'.
And I bet she's got some hellishly interesting stories to tell.

More power to her!

And yet you have an endless store of images of tight young things with big bits that others may find offensive and to which you say, if you don't like it don't look....

Its a picture FFS and probably not one she approved of. (yes she was out in public) But you are making it seem like a crime to be old and still a raver. The real crime (in my opinion) is laughing at people not as fortunate in one small area of the human condition - appearance.

I find it a bit off that anyone would dress like that as it's not really my thing but I support her right to do so 100%....

Cheers

Difference between offensive and indecent ? Doesn't rock my boat, but she's doing me no harm, and even the traditional "what if there should be children about" doesn't enter the equation here. She's not indecent, nothing hanging out

Why slag off someone because you don't like their looks ? Hell, I'm ugly as , maybe I should go round with my head in a bag out of consideration of other peoples feelings.

Live and let live , folks. I'm judgemental too, no doubt, but I'd like to think that I base my judgements on something more than looks.

Bugger. That's put me off cottage cheese for a while.

**oldrider** · 21st September 2005, 14:04

No that is definitely Not Mrs oldrider! Far too young.

Ulysses Club Motto. To grow old disgracefully. Well? She's arrived.

Good humourous comment and good call!
The lady isn't my cup of tea but hey, she's doing nobody any harm!!
(well my retinas took a bit of a pounding at first).
