High broken clouds and 57F/14C at 1000 this morning, forecast high is 67F/19C .

Great riding weather, unless you head north into higher elevation .

Winter started very very early this year. Since November 20 we've had snow and freezing temperatures which is very unusual.

So no riding here!

To pass time I've worked on a model of the r65 in Google Sketchup and this is the result so far;




greetings from a cold and white north (23F and light snow)

Rain/Snow/Wind up here on Vancouver Island on any particular day.  But I'll be in sunny Arridzona soon to do a little riding around there and SoCal and later New Mexico.  Can't wait.

Ran Tuesday morning errands on the '81 R65 and the weather was spectacular. So nice I forget to stop for fuel and then Blackie coughed, begging for reserve. Bloody machines won't run without petrol.

Later, Bengt and I rode off for a barbecue lunch. He on his Guzzi and me on the Trophy as it was fueled. Checked temp when I got back... a pleasant 80F/27C with only a trace of wind. Great way to celebrate the Winter Solstice arrival.

Lynn and I road yesterday afternoon. The temperature was 75F/24C but a strong crosswind -and why is a stiff breeze always a Xwind?- was thirty mph. That big slab-sided Triumph was moving quite a bit. Lynn asked me later, "Honey, what were you doing with the sideways jogs?" Grrr...

Ah, December in Texas!  Like Forrest Gump says, it's like a box of chocolates, you just never know what you'll get.  Today it was 85F, a record high for the Winter Solstace.  Yesterday was 79F.  Took the R1100S out and put about 100 miles on it.  True it was windy but that S cuts thru the wind like a razor blade through Jello.  Thanks again for the lunch Monte, super  good bbq.  I think we're having more of the same tomorrow.  And even better, the days begin to get longer tomorrow!

And Darwin, wet, monsoonal rains, min 25c, max 32c.

So it's too hot to put on wet weather gear that doesn't breath, but last thing you want is looking like a drowned rat when you get to work.

And Christmas in Darwin?
forecast is

Friday      Monsoonal showers and storms.   Min 25    Max 31
Saturday  Monsoonal showers and storms.   Min 24    Max 31
Sunday    Monsoonal showers and storms.   Min 24    Max 31

The weather here has been unusually cold. I know it doesn't seem like much to some of you but i has been in the low 20's F at night and only into the low 40's during the day. In this part of the US (coastal GA) that amounts to arctic conditions. Tonight it was in the low 50's and I donned full leather and rode ever turn and twisty in the county. Headlight on high beam, running on the edge and loving every minute of it. This R65 may not have it flat out but damn its fun to ride when the corners come up!

It was 30F/-1C this morning when I left for work at 0515 .

I took the R65 to work, as I anticipated a very light traffic flow on  the way to work .

I missed the heated grips on the oilhead .

Forgot to put beer in the refrigerator yesterday, just put it in the pool today when I got home from work, water is a balmy 40F/4C, chilled it down in about 15 minutes .

We've gone from 4 feet of snow down to one foot in places! Green grass where we have shovelled walkways before!! AND it is 50 degrees F.!!!!! Balmy and grey and some rain! What a weird season so far!

I sure hope any Queensland forum members are OK!
