    ....when the leathers get put away and out come the Dri-rider. Riding home
    from work last night in the balmy 30 deg I was becoming decidedly warm and a
    sweat broke out (for the benefit of Melbourne people, that's a condition
    caused by excessive heat, you may have read about it). The sun is up later,
    girls are starting to dress in skimpy outfits, and they even occasionally
    wave to you as you ride past (very occasionally sadly, but hey, I'll take
    it).

    Ah, 'tis good to be a rider.

    Cheer up Pisshead, things are looking up :)

    Dri rider got put away ages ago, rode to work in my tee shirt this
    morning. Loved it too.

  3. I can't do that 'cause at ~80k the sleeves flap about too much and annoy my
    upper arms...

    What do your upper arms do when they get annoyed? Flex biceps?

    Far be it from me to start another "Melbourne weather vs Sydney weather" war,
    but if you ever want to know what hot weather is like, just ask us :p

    Mean # days annually with Max temp > 40C
    Sydney 0.3 Melbourne 1.2

    Mean # days annually with Max temp > 35C
    Sydney 3.0 Melbourne 9.7

    Mean # days annually with Max temp > 30C
    Sydney 14.5 Melbourne 29.7

    Highest recorded max temperature
    Sydney 45.3 Melbourne 45.6

    Hehe, the joke is, of course, that I'm a Tassie boy originally, so I regard
    18 as the height of summer.

    You mean your confession of being a "Sydney Wanker" was all made up...
    I feel so cheated.

    And this summer we will expect to see the return of the much
    appreciated micro mini as this is the fad in Europe -- ggreee

    I was expecting someone to go for the open goal, but I was surprised it was
    Theo, I thought he'd do better. Insults ain't what they used to be...

    That's odd, a couple of times in the last week or so I've left the Dri Rider
    at home and changed to the leather jacket (and gloves)...

    I probably should have said the 'Summer' Dri-rider, with the liner taken
    out.

    You wanted an insult? Why didn't you say?
