| Here we are on 14 August, and it is still raining. It has been raining nearly every day since the end of June. Iam wearing the same wet weather gear i wear in winter. We would expect to have temperatures in the 70's-80's and sunshine most days, instead it's in the low 60's and dark horrible clouds nearly every day. it has'nt stopped me riding but iam really fed up with it. Meanwhile Russia has had heat so bad it's effected their harvests and they have awful forest fires, iam sure the devils have pinched our sun. I also see you in America are having [trouble] with the heat. Some of you riding to keep cool, my god bring it on!. What a joy to have a good moan! Somebody up their is watching this website,Sunday15 was SUNNY temp75. Monday 16was SUNNY temp86. I think that was our summer. I must try moaning more often[ if possible] If it gets results!!

| it has been so hot here in Southern Indiana, that my tatoos are running. I have been putting farkles on my Swing for a week, I quit at about 1 pm heat is over 95 deg F. and heat index over 100. i can't take the heat like I could when younger. (A/C makes me lazier) i have almost all the plastic panels off to run wires, cables, relays, etc. Now I can't find one cable i ordered last fall and never installed. hahahhaha I should finish this weekend. Almost forgot that i have been working on a friends Bergman 650 also. (hers is done mine is not) Lots of tupperware on scoots. MaxB ( sweatin" to the oldies) |

| Here in the Bay area of California it has been a nice cool summer. One thing I liked about living in Illinois were the seasons and I love cold weather so this is a really nice summer for me. I have been following the weather and it seems to be very hot in the midwest this year so I don't miss that at all. Hope it cools down soon for all of you but maybe you will have a mild winter so you can ride longer. As for England, it seems like we get your temperatures but no rain. It usually doesn't rain out here between May and November so the riding season is always nice. Not to rub it in but it is the best thing I like about California. I could do without all of the people and traffic, but at least we can split lanes here. |

| Old Limey I know this won't help you but I worked in the Czech Republic last week and the weather was pretty nice. Did get a few hours of rain but overall pretty decent. It's pretty warm here in Virginia but I am one who preferes the heat vs snow. We are headed out for 3 weeks on the GW next week and pray for decent weather. Will hit WV, MD, PA and NY just Lollygagging along. Will visit wife's folks in upper PA for a few days. Hope your weather straightens out for you...Dick |
