I bought size L - I'm about 183cm tall, 90kg, 33 waist, and enjoy windsurfing, fine wine and fireside chats....

I bought the M size as i believe in dressing asperationally. I am 168cm of blind fury, a svelte 75kg, wasp waisted at 32 inches. Just be careful with the zip, very careful......

Dougie

They are very good even at twice the price.....which is sadly the price I paid a month ago also.

Geez, you lot got all the fun! Yes Peter, it was us that you spied emerging from the gloom on the Grand Parade. At the cafe Christian asked if there were any new riders? With the answer being a deafening silence, he responed with "well that's the shortest speech i will give. Let's go! Geoff rol...

Kiwi Amie on Beach Rd this arvo. An altogether very satisfying exchange of pleasantries

I was thinking more biologically rather than algebraically.
There i was thinking Denise was up the duff as was Alex (a female maybe?) also heavy with child

Being a National Champion of a cycling discipline usually gets you a jersey. Are there collar tabs or sleeve rings that can be put on James jersey to signify and honour this? If so, what would the Green and Gold look like? Perhaps, the entire right sleeve is Green, for the big wheel and the left sle...
