Just in time for your Nude Portland Cycle Ride

I spotted this languishing at $13.50 on the Shopgoodwill auction.




Then discovered that I was in the presence of a "Thruster Vitasse Racing Bike", the Portland Nude Bicycle ride will never be the same.

With artistic body paint, of course.

There perhaps a chuckle or a smile during stay at home time, stay safe & take care.

Frankly, "Nude riding" brings up thoughts that gags me..... specifically at the "saddle interface"......

I doubt that a "thruster" would be allowed at the nude ride.

You learn to sit down carefully. Do the night version and things are a lot easier.
