    Gotta love our weather from -1 in the morning to 16 coming home. Yesterday it was bucketing down going to work (washed all the riding gear clean!), coming home 20 and sunshine not a cloud. 2 hours later back into town at dusk, attacked by swarms of killer mossies ( hate it when they get inside the helmet) now the gear is covered in bug guts again and light rain coming home at night just enough to have to smear bug guts all over the visor but not enough to clean it, then the throttle starts sticking at 3,000rpm. Had a fiddle after i got home and it runs fine, stuffed if i know. Will find out shortly, off to work late this morning, glorious sunshine and not a cloud....till later, more rain forecast..

    I think this has been the longest, coldest, wetest winter.

    Maybe it's like winters used to be coz we havn't had a proper winter for a long time, low dams n all, rivers were more like creeks. I work out side and I've had enough winter for this year. Th bikes comfy and dry in th lounge tho.

    Definately seems wetter this winter, i'm over it, i have that much work to do outside. This weeks forecast says possibility of rain everyday, just enough to be nuisance. Will be nice to ditch the balaclava and the neck warmer and into the summer gear. Then again that means 40deg and sweating like a pig, a couple of extra months of spring would be good. Just home from a weekend in Melb., corse it rained while we where there, as usual, Melb. weather sucks more than ours.
