13.01.2022 I’m not the only one driving a tractor long distances to support Mental Health, Good on ya mate

13.01.2022 Went on a 4hr local trek today and the funniest thing happened. I was doing around 40kph and close to home when out of the blue two lorikeets flew out of the brush on the left and one went into the Cab with me , it bumped into my side and landed on the nice padded seat a tad bewildered by what happened . Took all of 5 seconds for it to see the Fluro giant on the seat next door looking equally suprised before it made a bolt for the open side window of the cab from which it came see now that’s how the tractors good for the environment, I get hitchhikers

13.01.2022 I am yet to name my 49cc Bike that will be coming with Joy the Sierra in the trailer, it’s a very handy thing to have for trips in towns and as a general runabout alongside the Suzuki Sierra and can handle the dirt with bigger wheels and suspension unlike a Vespa. (I can ride it on a car licence too being 49cc) Any suggestions on a name?
