Snowing here in Vic! in the Mountains on Sunday,
Ski seasons, not supposed to start for another 5 weeks.
Cold weather is painful!
Contemplating heated hand grips

Heated handgrips rule!! Down here anyway.
Snowed at the annual Fall of Saigon demonstration here yesterday. Don't get that weather in Vietnam! No wonder they were demonstrating!!!

There on my list Max.
Rocket brought me a pair of heated grips for my birthday, way back.
Ended giving them back to him, when he started doing some motorcycle couriering.

Nice here on the Gold Coast, mid 20s for the next week or so, not a cloud to be seen

I hate this friggin cold weather.
It's OK in winter when you're expecting it, but shit!!
5 degrees, misty rain, blowing a gale, and not dressed for it!
wind chill factor is ridiculous.
20 cm of snow up on the mountains looks pretty but

What elevation are you at Wardy? We're only at 500 meters in Canberra. You must be far higher!

Hate to say this...but it is starting to get nicer here as you send us you good weather. We have gone almost 7 months this last year without good riding weather. Anything good will be a nice change.

Today and yesterday, every time I carry the helmet anywhere people get their concerned face on and say, 'don't you get COLD?'
YES YOU IDIOT, IT IS BLOODY FREEZING OUT THERE!!!
I know I'm awake though. I walk into work having had an almight shot of cold oxygen and a little bit of adrenaline where someone tried to kill me AGAIN! Beats the f*** out of sitting in a car with the heater on full and the radio going. I love a bit of weather!!

I just rode home from work in the rain. I forgot how deadly the Busa is in the wet!
All good though! Just need to change my undies!

aaah yes ---- Off camber roads -- slippery --- loose rear traction and the bike instantly goes to about 7000 RPM and it feels like your riding a trail bike in the mud .....
then the " Wonder if anyone just seen that" comes to play about 3 seconds after.....
something you don't get from a cage ...

...or trying to do a wheel stand in a straight line and wondering why the revs are sky-rocketing and nothing's happening!
