Wow, you're welcome to that.  It's supposed to be 95 here today, which is too hot to ride.  

At least that's my story since I have the final drive off the R65 for some work, and I badly sprained my kick starter ankle so I can't ride the Triumph.  Yep, too hot anyway.   :-/

I was changing the tires on the R65 last night and a tire iron slipped out and whacked my sprained ankle.  That hurt.

Might have to get out the coat today, it's about 14 degrees cooler than it has been at this hour the preceding several days.  But, I'll probably cage it as there is about a 40% chance of t-storms this evening about the time I get off work...

Oh God Bob - I don't want to rub it in - but I woke this morning and it was the second warmest July temp on record - a huge 17C.

I rather enjoyed it.

However - I really think that 30C water coming out of the cold water tap is just a bit rich for me. Guess I'm just a cold weather type of fellow...

We've been given a reprieve the past few days with some rain and somewhat cool (for July) temps in the mid 90s! :-)
