I´m in the tube now, too

Last Saturday - FINALLY we did a tour on our moped - the weather was good enough. "Our"? Yep. I helped a bit (well.. helped to get on the right way) to find out what kind of ignition sits in her and since then it´s "ours". Harley Davidson was changing the ignition in 1985.. 86?...

This certainly is a shot from last year - the blue Polo... well. I crashed 'im on my birthday...

It´s just a first try (of me with You Tube... and a start of the moped as well. Poor man - this really is the only way to start her up - no electricity start available. She´s just too cool for that!!! :-) She is! I have a cool run up the road but it´s too long. So :) Just help yourself and TURN ON the loudspeaker for a very short sample of how she sounds like:



Well. I try more.

You ask for power, party and sex appeal? Here you go! Ingo did the recording, btw (nahhh! Nothing nasty! Maybe you like to give those guys a chance. I promise, they are "cute". Can´t wait for next Saturday!!!! Here you can even hear me, welcoming a former trainer, Robert Flickinger):



Here, last December, we did spend some time at this place. it was too hot for flowers even - know this place someone maybe reading along? :



Awwww, all those possibilities of the internet. If I just had had that whilst studying!!!!

Anyhow, I have more: This is a Cocotaxi in Cuba - we did a ride in it (one of them!) in... 2002 - this is 2006:



And here: See how proud thse cuban guys are of their cars - and they can be, for sure. He´s greeting me here:



I´m really curious if this works!!!! I mean, the You Tube-stuff.


YEEEES - I´m still a very, very small beginner. I´ll do my best to get better!

The you-tube stuff works fine! Of course I recognise the Perth train station! You wouldn't recognise the outside of the station at the moment - there is construction everywhere as they build the new subway.

New subway, Celeste??? Awww. I hope I recognize everything if - when (some day! I´m back!

Over here at the moment locomotive drivers are on strike. But mostly they are never on time anyhow...

Iris, I read the post; I think he is pretty spot on there. I first thought when you asked me to have a look was that it might be a Fremantle man just "bagging" Perth but what he said is true. Although Mandurah's incident is a town down south, but still sad and true.
Usually there is a "friendly" competition going on between Perth and Freo but he was quite honest and correct.

Loved the train station!! Whoop hoop.

Awww, Hann, thanks for checking Paul´s article. Sad thing he´s correct.
Maybe you do need to take the chance, become a Police officer after all and make the place secure again!

Darn. Why are people like that? Can´t we just live our lives happily along with each other? Would be too simply, I guess.
