What did you do to your bike today?

Went out for a ride in a group of 21 last night at a local get together. Good fun!
It was so hot yesterday that the temp gauge on the bike already had 1 notch after being sat in the sun all day. No need to warm the engine or tyres up in this weather
As long as you keep moving & don't have silly kit, the heat is nice!
Coming from the guy that only recently moved to wherever you are (it was under a year ago wasn't it?). Bet you moaned when it got to 30 in the UK
The weather is nice though. Makes a good change. Just a shame the office I work in doesn't have AC and is on the first floor so hot as hell, plus in the afternoon we get the sun directly through the windows so it gets hotter.
Do you guys still run 10w40 over there? I thought 10w50 was better in hot climates.

Heat makes barely any difference, your bike isn't made any different to mine and it's 34c out here every time I ride.
I've forgotten how the English get all worked up over 25c

Still 10w40, it's hot but the actual temperature isn't too bad, it just feels like you're sitting on the sun because of the humidity. I always worried about bikes and cars overheating on hot days in the UK, I sit in traffic here and neither has any issues with it

I think it's because I left the whining culture that I stopped complaining all the time.
Just to note that it's just as humid here as it is in the UK.
If you get cut up you just wave at them to say it's ok, and they wave back apologising.
The land of the gentleman certainly lacks manners compared to the rest of the world.
Its about 25% more humid here than Switzerland so thats quite a difference
and about 25% more humidity again to were Ace is so we cant really complain Stop telling us how amazing Switzerland is all the time lol
