Yup, summer has finally reared its ugly head. Back to night and early morning rides, as the road will soon be too hot for traction

[JayJay]

Last time you mentioned how good the weather was it rained....FOR WEEKS! :spank:

 

[Red Wazp]

I hope you guys sweat your balls off. :BLAA:

Too cold and ice to ride here.

 

[Humperdinkel]

Luckily we only have 31 at home at the moment , 78% humidity though :spank: :spank:

Looking the SA weather forecast i'd be making a beeline for the nice sea side town of Robe , sea breeze & fishing :rockon: then riding back home when the afternoon change comes through , does life get any better

 

[Circle]

If you're not in drought, its flooding!
Amazing weather, and not just here but all over the globe (NYC, Heathrow)
Hang in there!

Yup! Life could be better. They could put a few turns in the roads leading to Robe otherwise it's a 500 dollar trip just in tires.

Only because they bred them real tough down there in the south :BLAA:

Up here in QLD we ride in 40c+ or 100+ & add 90-95% humidity to that it is simply AWEFUL , I HATE IT you look at you gear & start sweating

I have no choice but to ride no matter how hot/cold but truth be told when it gets hot , i try my best to park the bike up :thumbup:

Lol! If i can avoid riding in 40c plus heat, i am avoiding it! It's just ridiculous to be out in that Sun at all! not healthy!

It takes about 10 minutes of exposure to get burnt to a crisp in SA!

And I thought Florida in the Summer time was bad, which it is, but that is just nuts. I mean I am from a very hot country, Guyana, but I don't think the Humidity is that bad..... or maybe I have been living in Wisconsin too long :BLAA: as for the tires I wonder if anyone ever thought of coming up with a compound that could cope with this environment. would sure be a good idea.

We dont have the humidity here....it's dryer than a nuns .... down here, about 5% humidity if we are lucky! It's like walking out into a convection oven on a windy day!
