    Well, hello all! It's been over a year since I was on last and it's funny because the last message I left was about how hot it is here in California. Well we're having weather now that Trump's anything so far. Today was 110. They are expecting it to get up to 115 maybe even 120, breaking tons of Records. I'm sure Sandi and a few others have riden in 110°+ weather but I doubt anyone would argue that a motorcycle ride in this heat is almost unbearable...unless you're naked and then that brings up a whole new list of problems! Tar snakes come alive, literally in this heat! The new update however, is that I am fleeing California for Colorado. I'll be moved by July 20th. I can't wait to ride in colorado, and I've even got a Café Racer club to join in Colorado Springs. I'll keep you all posted.

    @MPTriumph. Sod that. I like sun but that's an oven. Here had a great thought Forget Colorado head over here live in the rain cold and unrideable roads.

    We don't have that sort of weather here but we would only complain about it if we did us British are known worldwide for our interest in the weather we have been having a bit of a heatwave here getting close to the 30°c which is hot for our little island I postponed my ride last Sunday due to the heat and wholely agree that it is no fun riding in excessive heat even in these fairly modern mesh jackets great whilst you are moving but that's where it ends just getting the kit on before leaving home it's as though you just got out of a hot bath dripping wet I never thought id ever get to a point where as it's TOO HOT to ride we are usually avoiding the rain here
    But at least you have a whole lot of new rides and roads to enjoy good luck with the move
