False! I've seen your pictures! Besides if that was true I don't think the Goose would be riding a special edition sportbike around as a daily rider!

After riding in 0° C during the winter the moment the temps hit 5 - 10° C I brought out the mesh gloves and it didn't feel cold to ride with them at all. Thankfully this weekend will be warm and sunny... as opposed to warm and heavy rain (still ridable but annoying).

Yes I used Centigrade/ Celsius because in the lab all we ever use is °C or Kelvin... °F is frowned upon :ninja:

We are finally looking at a big meltdown over the next week with temperatures at 7-8 deg. C! And it's about time! There is a lot of melting that needs to occur.

We finally lost the last of the accumulated snow recently thanks to warmer temps and heavy rainfall. Of course the next problem is the heavy rain and flooding that's occurring here...
