I like it!!!

Though it irks a Corkman to admit it, the potholes in Kerry are even bigger.. A few years ago a coroner's court found that a paralytically drunk bicyclist did indeed fall into one and drown.

don't look all that big compared to your descriptions in past years.

It's a huge bike so the tyres do look in proportion, and the angle of that particular photo is misleading, making the tyres look modest.
