Spring is here!  +1°C.  Season opened.
Respect Jussi! We have almost same weather, but I'm not going yet - bike is sill in parts and I'm to tired (or lazy) to put it together over a weekend...  :whistling:
Also, +1 is not pretty cold...
But I remember a times (10+ years ago) when I get speeding penalty in the middle of the march with just few degrees over the 0.

Ten years ago I rode (not for fun) in -17° weather. Put the Sunday paper under my jacket to keep from freezing the chest. Nowadays riding is only for fun. +10° and sunshine is the lower limit. The engine is even then having a hard time to get up to operating temp. Today (+13°) the engine finally got up to proper temp. The tires were not there yet however.

I'm with you Andre.... has to be at least 15degrees for me.... I ride to enjoy it... don't like being cold!  By same token... don't like being too hot either!  Had a couple of runs last summer in 35deg... not at all pleasant  :thumbs_down:

I don't like the cold but will ride in winter as long as it's dry, today it's pissing down so I'm at home getting bored  :furious:
Keep the rubber side down.          Mick

35° and I dread every red light. 20-25° is all around good for me (as long as it is dry).

30 years ago.. During technical school, I didn't have car at all.. I rode years around with my Suzuki PE 175 enduro (with Husqvarna CR 430 engine).

Hope it will not last.

@grog @VladTepes   We need a pic of the Gold Coast beaches for comparison here.

Not going for a special ride down there, but this was taken recently if it helps

Next 3 days 23° and sunshine pure.  :boogie: :boogie: :boogie:

Yep.... gonna be a busy weekend... between cleaning and putting the bike back together... the chores from swmbo (remove decking furniture, jet wash decking, cut grass, repaint said decking, feed the grass, replace decking furniture, fill planters with new compost) and watching F1 qualy and race ..... you can guess that stuff in brackets actually might not get done  :happy1:

KiwiCol

It'll get done, just a question of priorities, qualy & race may take longer than expected & leave insufficient time to start the rest of the list.  :whistling: :devil:
😎  Always looking for the next corner.  😎

Funny that.... that's exactly what I said to her!   I've no idea why she scowled at me and threatened me with no dinner!  :rofl2:
