Is there anybody as sad as me

[johnnyb47]

Hi to all.
As the title suggests is their anybody as sad as me when it comes to polishing there bike. When the tv,s rubbish and the weather is to bad for a bike ride I will spend hours polishing my 33 year old Peugeot Equipe. A tube of Autosol and a sonic scrubber ( its like a giant electric toothbrush ) will keep me quiet and out of the pub for hours polishing away at all the alloy components. Its almost addictive and I find it hard to know when to stop. Here's a picture of a brake lever I've just done.Be Jesus know wonder the wife ran off with another fella. I really think I need to get out more lol :-))

Hi Johnny, that's probably the saddest thing I've read. Thank goodness you couldn't upload your picture, my heart may have exploded.

That is so sad...a tube of autosol and an electric tooth brush....I can think of so many other ways you could have used them and had so much fun......

I would get more satisfaction from cleaning the bike than being in a pub or watching tv. (I sometimes clean the tyres too).

That is the sort of thing I used to do as a bike mad teenager, I would spend many evenings with my bike in bits in the kitchen, cleaning and polishing everything I could.

Oh no.
Haven't you got any puddles round your way?

I cleaned my bike once, but it got all dirty again.

Yeah, what's the point in getting sober, when you're gonna get drunk again ....

A clean bike is a nicely riding bike.
