Christer, greetings from the U.S.! It makes me feel a little better to know I'm not the only one longing for warmer weather's return so I can do more than just sit on the bike making engine noises... Right?
...guys?
You're not alone, we had another 5" of snow last night. We actually got lucky, they were predicting a Blizzard and 24-36 inches but it didn't materialize here.
Still, I'm getting very tired of looking at the RT sitting in the garage. Weird winter, we haven't had very much snow but the little bits we are getting have them salting like crazy men! Not much rain in between to ever get the roads cleaned off yet. Ah well....maybe next week.
I guess I'll go back in the garage and make some more engine noises now...

I'll send you a 5kg jar of Sydney sunshine RTman if you send me a bag of lush green pastures (like we see in Midsomer Murders each week).
Aussie weather can be sunny and pleasant, but it can be slightly uncomfortable as well; I think they're forecasting the maximum temperature in Marble Bar might hit 50C (122 F) today? I rode the Stuart Highway in the Australian Outback a couple of years ago when it was really hot, riding past fields of long brown grass. When I stopped for a break I realised it wasn't grass, the ground was so hot all the snakes were standing on the tips of their tails..!!

Just tried to bring back 5kg jar of sunshine from Ayres Rock (43c) but suitcase was too heavy, just landed today at Heathrow after 23hrs flying temperature 2c bloody cold. Eastern Australia bloody great, Western Australia is next once I have the money lol
