• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Outdoor Temperature

Go on, rub it in why don'cha! :yikes:

It's currently 6°C here in the Hills, misty, AND it's raining! :banghead: . Visibility is about 100m at best, and the rain is heavy enough that when travelling at a safe speed (ie, fairly slow! :rolleyes: ) it's actually falling on me instead of being deflected around me by the windscreen! :gaah: Sooo, it was only a short ryde this morning, and while it might not've been freezing, it was cold & wet with a savage wind-chill and I'm not happy Jan! :cus:

Ahh well, maybe later today it'll fine up so I can enjoy a nicer ryde... :dontknow: Besides, the Kids & Grandkids (including all the furry grandkids :D ) are coming around late this arvo, so the day is only gonna get better! :ohyea:



To say nothing about having to ryde upside down.:roflblack:
 
I’m just curious, actually hoping that most of you just may make our temperature feel a bit cooler. What is your outside ambient air temperature right now, and do you go riding in that temperature. Right now, at 3:10 pm PST, the temperature is 42*C (107.6*F), and I’m NOT out riding....I’m existing indoors is an air conditioned home.

What’s yours?
It is 101.2 right now in linden
 
Hey Brucie:

40 C here on Vancouver Island, with humidity, about 45. We had central air installed in our house last month, which was fortuitous. I was out riding on the highway yesterday morning, and I have a vented jacket. Installed a water bottle holder 2 weeks ago and have a flip back chin bar on my helmet, so could hydrate when stopped at a traffic light. Too hot today for me to ride.

I’m with you on that. My RT has not moved today, but was out yesterday A.M. where on the Island? Must be Inland to be 40°. My neice lives on Gabriola and yesterday their temp was in the low 30’s. Haven’t heard today. Oops, I see you’re in Duncan. I should have looked.
 
I live in gilbert Arizona and right now it is 111 degrees with 9% humidity (5:50pm). Kinda takes the fun out of riding for sure.

I have no need for a tan to say the least...

108° or 111°, not a great difference other than 111° is probably expected in Arizona whereas for us, these temperatures are truly record breaking. Never been this temperature in my 78+ years.
 
We rode up to Keystone tonight and had to bundle up, was 58 at Mt. Rushmore. Might have to put the liner back in my leather coat…

I hear ya. I had to order a portable air conditioner for my Mom who lives in Seattle from Amazon. All air conditioners are sold out for 100 square miles in that area. Plenty here in Phoenix. Go figure.

Today is the day. Good luck folks in the North west.

Yeah, Seattle is maybe 100 miles from where I live, but I don’t think quite that far, so she’s experiencing the same weather pattern that we are.
 
Upper 80’s and low 90’s this week, sorry guys it’s great riding weather here…. Just 13 days until Deadwood and a little over a month to Sturgis.
 
It appears as though our extreme heat wave is ending (hopefully). We were up to 44° C (111° F) and today is supposed to be in the low 30°’s. 30°C is 86°F....a more rideable temperature range. We’ll see.
