We're at a balmy 15F with a windchill right around -2, TRIICK. An excellent night for a roaring fire!

The older I get, the less I like Winter. There is much to be said for the temperate Mediterranean climate where you live, Steve. For the U.S. that would be pretty close to my ideal. I lived in a much warmer Mediterranean climate in Chico, CA. years ago and the summers there could be brutal. the silver lining there was that a 15 minute drive put you up about 3,000 feet of elevation into the Sierra Nevada Mtns and another 15-20 minutes along put you at 5,000+ feet up to and over the tree line.

It's all a trade off.
We have way too much dreary overcast and many days with light to moderate rain. Not near enough sunshine!
Seattle is the suicide capital for a reason. The temp is pretty moderate and we don't have hurricanes and tornados.
I have spent most of my motor time over the past 50 years riding to the sun. Those places with good temps seem to have plenty drawbacks as well.
Grass is always greener . . .

Why is it, on any Triumph forum I've been on, that the Aussies always make fun of the North American riders? Because we can.

But remember if (most) Aussies are having a go at you in fun they sort of like you in a blokey kind of way, if they ignore you they are giving you the greasy sleeve
