    A really important question

    This is up there with the "do you have vegemite or marmite in your house?" - not many people have both. Or "In bed what side of your female partner do you sleep on?" Most guys when lying on there back have their female partner on their left side (sorry do not know what same sex couples do).

    What I want to know is;

    When I put my riding gear on (I am an Adventure rider) should I be tucking my pants inside my boots (so you can see all of my boots when riding) or should my pants cover the boots.

    As you can see understand this is the sort of question that could bring down a Government!

    Tuck 'em in of course! Then everyone can see that you have boots and know you are a very serious rider.
    The question you should be asking is:
    When I go to the mall on my bike with my pants tucked into my boots, do I untuck them to walk around the mall or do I leave 'em tucked in?
    Ahh you yungun's. So much to learn.

    Tucking in would lead to mud and water sliding down into your boots!

    Not tucking them in could lead to pants being torn to shreds by aggressive foliage...
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Now I am really confused, we do not have a consensus!

    What about my armour when I trail ride, under my riding top or over the top?

    Under makes me look muscly!! and keeps the armour clean but my son insists that I should have the armour over the top!

    1. Pants over boots (the more damage they receive, the better they look).
    2. Vegimite, next to the supercrunchy peanut butter.
    3. Between her and the door, which ever side that may be.

    Whadda bout tucking them in.. & then wearing a pair of tall "putties" ? (that trampers wear to keep shit out of their socks/tramping boots) over the top. That way your pants don't get damaged by foliage etc.. & your boots also stay dry & also don't get damaged.
    GET ON
    SIT DOWN
    SHUT UP
    HANG ON

    What is it with woman and not wanting to sleep by the door! That is (yet) another unexplained mystery of life. Surely if there is an intruder and the male is closest to the door the male can be incapacitated first leaving the intruder with the woman?

    Smear Vegemite all over yourself, ride naked 1km in front of us so that fly's/bees/and buzzy things stick to you, and don't bother us other riders.
    Plus any coppers about will arrest you for carrying "an insecure load", which will let us pootle through without drama.

    I was going to try that but I don't have any vegemite in the house, we are a Marmite family.

    Greetings Tri boy!
