Last week we were getting 26-29. Tomorrow it’s 18 with rain and the mornings are 7-9 degrees.
As I discovered when living in Tasmania; temperatures are relevant to the country and state that you live in, temperatures that you are used to and weather that you prefer.
So ‘bloody freezing’ now, is comparing this week to last. 15 degrees in Tasmania is a whole lot different to 15 degrees in Western Australia. So, yes… it’s bloody freezing now here!

The BEST Summers EVER are in Tasmania! Actually, the only months that sucked were June, July & August after 5pm each day until 10am the following.
One of the best places in the world to live and own a motorcycle.IMG_8029.jpeg
 
Cleaning and Polishing each section at a time to have it ready to gleam at the DGR.
Few accessories added since deciding to go and new riding jacket arrives next week.
Our bikes deserve to be shown off and show it off, I shall.
I will represent our machines well.

Sounds like a lot of work! I will get to mine next week before the ride. Still a few items to finish up.

For the last few years, as cleaning my bike in one go is usually restricted by time allowances, (mostly) every time that I go into the garage, I spend 4-5 minutes cleaning a section of my bike.
By the time my next ride is due, I have a lump of shining glory to hop on to.
It’s just made it easier and more enjoyable.

I am thinking I may convert this also to a medallion for the blank area on the battery cover. I am waiting on some coin blanks.
Some room for improvement so will need to play around with the tool pathsIMG_4398.jpeg
