Camels!! what a sight.
It looks nice and clear but I bet it's cold.

It was close to 60F when I started out, and still around 50 when I got back, so not bad at all.

That is very nice riding weather!

My weather has improved. I can dream that spring might  be here with a ride in April.
Most snow is gone and over 0*C daytime.
Lots of sand and gravel to remove on the roads.
Snow and ice can return any day for the next month. Even in late April.
We had snow the first week of April  2024. Back again April 27.

It is a huge improvement now with daylight and green areas coming back.

It's certainly not the temperatures that has kept us in the south of the UK off the road. No below zero (32) days at all, just two months of rain this year. But with March it has stopped and out testing my rebuilt 500 engine.

I took the K0 for a 110 mile ride yesterday to clock up 5000 miles since I built it from parts during the covid lockdowns here in Melbourne Australia. It's running great, and the more I ride it, the better it goes. The bike (well, the rusty frame and engine's bottom end) was originally blue/green, so I've bought the Yamiya tank, sidecovers, airbox and headlight ears, and one day I'll give it a cosmetic resto and install the new paint set. Of all the CB750's I've owned, it's definitely my favourite. ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
