We're having a mild spring this year the temps have for the most part been in the upper 80's. Yesterday we eased up to 93 and the low this morning is 76 so it's jackets in the morning and mesh gear in the afternoon.

True story - about 10 years ago, I had a friend over from the UK in the middle of our summer. So we did the whole tourist route to Mpumalanga (DaveB has posted loads of pics from this area). There was a Harley run to the area at the time. The road to Pilgrim's Rest (ref DaveB again), comes to a T-junction with a large traffic island in the middle. We could see a couple of HD's parked on the island and one on the side of the road - no big deal right? Until we pulled up next to them! The guys had boots, helmets, shirts and shades on but that's all - no strides, nada with their you-know-what's perching on the tank!! All 3 of them!!! I nearly crashed my car and my friend got whiplash turning around to get a better look!
 
It's not that hot here Shane! We are having strange weather at the minute. I drove from Morecambe to Barrow in Furness this morning. It was 22C when I set off, and 12C when I arrived and was thick fog rolling off the sea!
10C difference in 50 miles!
 
at this time 5.o2 pm its 31c and 90ish f and to hot for me ! its such a fast change there was just no time to aclimatise to it.
and its in till aleast next tuesday , i just hope it cools a bit ! but at least we do have a cool breeze of the sea .
 
Well, down under in not so sunny Melbourne it's f#@%* freezing. Only got to 14 C today and we had a months rain in one day. Still I suppose it is the end of Autumn. I don't usually complain about there weather too much but yesterday was 19c and sunny, weird eh! even though it's colder here, I still ride every day to work and around town. Silly git ain't I? :)

That's Melbourne for you. Sensible people live a little further north. :y15: Like the Gong. :y2:
 
I am going to post a link to the book "How to win friends and influence people"!

For all you guys posting stuff like "Oooo it's 30c here today", you are fast going to be loosing your friends who are surving temps like 14c!!! Hurumph! SAD
 
People can live at 14c? Dang that's too cold to support most mammals.

It was only 93F here today, come on summer. It won't be long till we finally get to the triple digits.

ill swap ya ! any time

Anything under 25c is uninhabitable for me. Give me the heat any day please. Fortunately our winter isn't very long and by mid-August it starts warming up again. I've been lighting the fire since the beginning of the week BLUSH

In Joburg, although the day time temps are bearable and we have clear blue skies that go on forever, as soon as the sun sets the temps do a radical drop - we can go from a daytime high of around 20c to -3c in a day. Because we never had cloud cover in the winter, the warmth from the day dissipates very quickly. Joburg has a totally dry winter but the cold is a biting cold - very harsh. And we're 6000ft above sea level which also doesn't help.

I really just can't handle winter at all - if I could, I'd hibernate like a bear. But Shanered, you're welcome to pop over anytime between now and mid-August to enjoy our very cold, but very dry winter which is lovely for riding!
