Clutch and Cotton Candy! What did you smell today?

#1 Unread post by noobie »

I commute to work on my bike when I can. As you know, when you're on a bike you can smell every little thing - even in a full-face helmet.
So, my question to you is..."What did you smell today?"
I got a whiff of some nasty Clutch followed by delicious Cotton Candy - yummmm
Plus, there's this one curve - on ramp to I-5 North - I swear there must be a doughnut FACTORY on that corner!
Cornering rocks - it really rocks with the smell of Doughnuts :)

Peace Out,
Noobie

I was not out on my bike, but while out, I got to smell fresh brewing coffee and some KFC. Even though I don't eat KFC, I love the smell of it.

Last time I smelled "clutch", my clutch started slipping by an unacceptable amount shortly thereafter. :frusty:

(This was last October, clutch was rebuilt in November).

Fresh air. Fragrant from trees unpolluted air. I went walking along the trails in Burns Bog. It's a protected area locally. No traffic, no motorized equipment, just a few people walking a cycling.

Fresh unpolluted air smells so good.

Smelled something I haven't smelt in a couple years. Charcoal grill baby! After two years our gas grill has been replaced. I missed you charcoal smell and flavor.

Anti-freeze and BBQ.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.
