Check out our local weather forecast for today. http://weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/city/pages/mb-30_metric_e.html I put my bike in the garage as i'm not sure if the anti freeze will take the cold weather. I put another log on the fire and am sitting here looking at my bike trip pictures. Summer is only 2 months away! Todd

Sorry about your weather, I'm just back in about 2pm after a 300Km ride about 1/6th Freeway 1/2 two laners and 1/3rd dirt roads, when I left it was 18C about 65F, when I got back in it was up to 36C about 97F with a hot gusty wind, good bushfire weather. I also took out my WeeStrom last Monday and did my first dirt on that, it felt a little more nervous, than the KLR did on its original tyres, but with my KLR on GP1's it's the difference between night & day, I don't think I'll take the WeeStrom where I take the KLR In our Winters I have to go looking for snow, it doesn't usually happen where I live. -- Gavin Broadford Victoria Australia KLR650A18 DL650K6 Home of the DSN-KLR650 searchable archive at:- http://dsnklr650.gavinmac.com

Hi Gaven, (First read "pints-qts" discussion, etc) Sorry about the excess, lousy wx down-under there that you must endure. If possible, please send one case of Australian Sunshine in prepacked "Pint-US", not "Pints-Imperial" to central South Dakota. Express shipment requested/appreciated. revmaaatin -21F windchill
