The Big Motorcycle, Mooball, New South Wales …

The Old Pacific Highway is a favourite route for motorcyclists and the Moo Moo Café in Mooball is where they pull off the road for a flat white and meat pie.

My new to E-biking Sister-in-law ( right ) started out with 4 dots (80%) on her Giant Liv Amiti E+ 1( left) battery. She was able to complete the 80 k+ ride including a serious hill at the very end with one dot remaining.View attachment 40692

The Giant/Yamaha bikes seem to deliver a lot of kms from their batteries. Or maybe your sister-in-law is a strong cyclist

Here is my first (and possibly only) attempt at an art shot of the day. The thistles remind me of birds.

Bike railway crossing warning signs in Parksville, on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Interestingly, the signs disappeared earlier this year. Not sure why.

I was joking but I thought you might not think it was funny so I deleted it. Check this video....the man was a giant with a giant brain no doubt!

Dueling haulers. The one on the right uses a Bafang system and the one on the left uses a Yamaha drive.
