Where to go, when: Motorcycle travel by weather?!
 

I posted the following on the HU FB group the other day. Grant suggested I post it here too. NB ** this is the improved version as per peoples' contributions... **

This is the text I wrote on Facebook:

Motorcycle travel by weather?! Not too hot, not too cold, not too wet? Your input/feedback is requested, assuming you actually travel by bike :innocent:

Something different. Actually a work avoidance strategy. What I'm not doing is fitting skirting boards upstairs at CasaPutaPadreDeLosGuererros Me digging out this old spreadsheet from 2013 and tweaking it today was prompted by a friend who recently went to Morocco in the middle of summer and seemed surprised as to how hot it was. (Or maybe he wasn't surprised at all and likes sticking a hair dryer set on max into his crash helmet?) :D


I have friends who rode motorcycles to Nordkapp and across Lake Baikal on the ice in winter, to name just a couple of examples... I respect their achievements a lot.

I made/edited this spreadsheet for me and the more I share and get feedback, the less house renovations I have to do.

I don't really like cold. I loath incredibly hot weather and I hate riding in the rain.

Addendum: Will be on the road for a while from this weekend, so any edits to this "final" FB version will take a long time :mchappy:

Happy to disseminate a printer friendly .pdf version if you email me via my website. Please don't send me a HUBB PM. (I also don't come here v often anymore, so you might be waiting a while).

Grant: Whatever you did to make the image expandable, made it invisible on my cell phone (Android 11/ Chrome)! It was still visible (and now expandable too) on my Windows 7 pc with Chrome.

So here it is again AND I can see it on my phone too :thumbup1:

Weird - all I did was add a link to it to open the image in a new window. Anyway seems to work fine now.

On my elderly Mac (OS 10.13.6) I originally saw the full chart, although sized down. Now I see no chart, just a small, faint, un-labeled square to the lower left below Chris' text. Clicking that square brings up the full colored chart.

No blame, no explanations, no expectations--merely observation.

I'm most definitely spending too much time on this thread! :funmeterno:

Now 24 or so hours after posting it, having it edited to make it "user friendly", then reposting it, the chart is now gone from post 2 on my phone! (although it still appears and is clickable on my pc...)

Maybe it's because I have a pop up blocker and advert hider running on my phone? But I have the same running on my pc :thumbup1: Unfortunately I can't be bothered, nor do I have the time to get to the bottom of this pointless non-condundrum.

Anyway, I've attached a low res jpg to this post :D Let's see how that works :funmeteryes:

And I'm still happy to email a very legible and printable (A4 size) pdf. No, I won't attach said pdf here.

Bright and out.
