Thy say a picture tells a thousand words and you wanted to know about sunshine and warmth. I took the ZX-14R (I know it's an R3 forum, but we all have our dirty little secrets) out for a quick fang today and on the road to a little town called Guyra in northern NSW I came across this vista. It is a nice shade of green around here at the moment with the warm weather and reasonable rainfall. P.S. 28 Celsius is about 82 Fahrenheit and the outside temperature on my bike is surprisingly similar to the inside temperature.....]
