For those of you that live in countries with much colder Winters
18C cold? Oh dear 
It's just past 9:00 AM and it's 17C where I am. I'm wearing shorts and a T-shirt, but when you're a hot blooded Canadian male like me :wink:.........
18C is a wonderful temperature for me. I can wear my riding gear and not cook inside it. I can do physical chores outside and not die in the heat.
Here in north eastern Canada a 30C day is a very hot day and I can barely function. The past two weeks have been in the 32-33C range which is unusual for us. I guess there is something to this global warming stuff!
But now that hurricane Bill has passed the jet stream has adjusted as it usually does in late August and brought us the cooler weather with lower humidity.
From now on our night time temps will be around 10C and days around 24C. I love this time of year.
But of course, as we move into September and October the temps will continue to come down - then the first thing you know it will be winter again.

Rocky here in Africa we love hot :y114: I could never function in your winters I would just die :tongue:
Naaa, you would function just fine. I nice brisk day at -15C is just the thing to make you sit up and take notice, get your blood moving, feel full of vim and vigor :ya2:
But of course you do all of this in heavy boots and a parka :y114:

and those looooooooong night lasting around 18 hours at a time :tongue: no thanks Africa for me :y114:
LOL......that's a warm day in this neck of the woods!
Come on now Dave, we're not THAT far north 
h:
14 -15 hours of darkness max at this latitude.
Just like anyplace, when it gets dark you switch on the lights and Bob's your uncle.

Rocky, I could not function in your winters. My idea of winters is your summers! I need to ride year round. I really don't like temps below 60 F (15.5 C). I can deal with temps in the lower 90's F (32-34 C). And I ride in full gear.

Yes Dave.....I live in an igloo, wear snowshoes outside, constantly have to fend-off polar bear attacks, and I cut holes in the ice to fish for food when I'm not busy clubbing baby seals to death for blubber oil to fuel my lamp.
Having only one or two hours of sunlight a day has many economic advantages....like cutting down on the amount of sunscreen I have to buy a year.
Yes, but it surely runs up the electric bill!
As I said, we use blubber oil in our lamps ;-)
I'm with Rocky, 18deg is plenty hot enough! I hate hot weather, I much prefer winter sunshine, a crisp frost and clear blue skies. The problem is it is usually raining here in England, as I am typing this it is lashing down outside!
The local Harley-Davidson dealership has what they call the "Annual Penguin Run" on New Years Day every year. All types of bikes are welcome and do show up. Mind you that January 1st around here is normally below 0 Fahrenheit (below -18 C) and the ride is typically about 4 hours long. Unless there is actual snow on the roads, I try to make this ride.
h: AJ that is cold on a bike with the wind 
That is not for me.
Hey, I just put on the long underwear and my Carharts. The coldest part of me is normally where the wind blows up under the front of my full-face helmet.
