I love the smell of silage. About the only farm type smell that I like though.

Edit: Does anyone else find it hard to squeeze the cheese on their bike? I really have to stand on the pegs and stick it out to one side to let a little squeeker out.

hahahahaha

EEEEEW Apples! I build packhouse gear and have worked night shift in several packhouses over the years.

Would be very happy if i never saw or smelled another apple again. But alas, my night shift starts at 6:30

Yep definately riding behind a 2 smoker. Went for a ride with a RGV250 awhile ago . Made him lead the whole time

I love the smell of silage, sulphur and sweet sticky smells in the maize feilds

Two stroke is all good too. oh and testosterone....mmmm

Hate the smell of Paper Mills, Kawarau & Kinleith. Most industrial smells make me hold my breath a bit. Decaying roadkill, cattle trucks

and something about the Bombay hills turns my stomach too.

me loves the smell of sea, mangroves, seawead on the reefs when you go by on the bike.

noticed on Sat that i didn't like the smell of McDonalds cheese burger burp smell trapped inside my helmet. nope not like it one little bit...

should've kept visor up for that

**Swoop** · 18th April 2006, 17:46

Good:
Fresh cut grass in the morning.
JET-A1!!!! (Oh yeahhh!)

Bad:
Rubbish trucks (those big bastards hauling 'Daucklands crap south of the Bombays...)

Farting is fun - you get better performance with some "jet assist"...

An interesting smell whilst filtering along motorway traffic snarlup, was BEER from an open cage window!!!

I love all the smells,they are part of my ride,the countryside that I am in,it's very special to get smells...means you are right there with it.

But I hate meatworks - I grew up near 3 abattior's,those who know Auckland will know where that is.I'm a vegetarian now,and don't want to be reminded of the stink of my childhood.
