Gentlemen,
Being a man born and raised in Melbourne I am finding this banter most interesting. Hope the rain keeps coming down in Melb, they need it !

Glad you are liking it there. I too will be looking forward to any tales from the homeland.

Lonely planet from a bikers point of view sounds great !!

Cheers

Good for you fella... Good for you !! :thumbup1:

Thanks guys :-)

Melbourne is currently 'struggling' with 39c heat. When I say struggling I mean HAVING to sit in air-conditioned cafes whilst weather the terrible terrible sun.

Life is hard here in the out-back, today it was so nice, um sorry I mean tough, that I had to come out without a jacket on and roll up my sleeves - do you know the cancer risk I'm taking just doing that ! I'm happy to take these hardships as they come so I can bring you a picture of the harsh environment I live in.

I can almost keep a straight face when I say that too ;-)

Anyway - nice to see you all again.

Matt,

You can stick your 39°

We all know that you long for a fresh and bright frosty morning; sucking the clean, cold air into your lungs.

:freezing:

Would love a nice cold morning - this week has been hell... allow me to show you this:

Which resulted in my brand new XT sitting in the garage for way too much time because my boots started to melt.... grrrr... now of course it's only 29 - much better - and of course I'm back in work....

Matt,

Have a look what we woke up to this morning

BBC NEWS | UK | Heavy snow envelops much of UK

Have fun sweating. I'm off to dig out me long-johns

OK OK OK Matt, you have had your fun moaning about the damn sunshine.

I was out late last night salting my drive and the road in front of my house just so i could get out this morning. The snow came at about 5 AM and its still snowing now, I just dropped the wife off at her work and the temp is -1.5.

Thats probably as cold as you have got your air con switched to.!!! You wait, the winter will come in Melbourne aswell and i bet the temps will drop to around 15 degrees then... now thats hardship..... (firmly tongue in cheek)..

Seriously, high temperature can be as bad as rain and cold in a strange sort of way as you cant function properly in either. But i think i would rather be unfunctional in the heat.

All the best
Lee
