It appears the washing machine has finally reached the end of its cycle.

They were rather heavy, and not so twitchy on the front end as the chopper. Extremely durable, well made, and sporty for the time. Don't fall off that banana seat, though! Fear of self impalement always a factor. Mine had a regular 3-speed Sturmey Archer shifter on the bars. It also had a higher "sissy bar" rising from the back of the seat, for transporting girlfriend. Speaking of, there was a girls' variant called the Fair Lady,(no relation to the Datsun 280Zin Japan) with step through frame. I borrowed Mrs. GA's one time when my car broke down, so I could get to work, so I have ridden one of those several miles. When I got to work, still early, the owner had driven down from distant lands to inspect the store, and bring stock. He thought it hilarious when I rode up on a pink and white Schwinn Fairlady. As did everyone else, when they got there.

I might add that if you take away the "springer" front end, the small wheel front fork, and the banana seat, that frame is just a regular boy's bike. Genius of marketing.

I believe I was referred to as Strawberry Shortcake for a short time after that...
Although I think Mrs. GA's was a Fair Lady Stingray, it slightly resembled the more current Strawberry Shortcake variant.

Bright, blustery and breezy here chez Casa Reynard.
I have spent the morning applying paint to things.
Now I am about to have lunch.
Oh, and Jimmy White has just beaten Stephen Hendry in the World Seniors semi.
I do believe it is the first time he has ever beaten Hendry in a major.

I'm posting this not for the main subject of the video (although I found it funny) - but for the incident at the 1:10 mark. Great amusement for anyone with a squirrel problem! 😄

White v Doherty in the final.
I'll watch it on catch up, as I'll be off to Tesco later to do a spot of yellow stickering.
