nothing too bad, some cracks on fairing - nothing i could not fix

Its funny really and I dont mean falling off , om mean the way that you guys stop ridding in the winter and to a large degree we have to hold off riding in the daytime summer heat here (night time is not too bad) ...because its way to hot to wear all the gear .. go figure ? weird ....

Not riding because of too hot? 
I have to try this one out
Of course in summer there can be a bit hot when sitting in traffic but not riding on a hot summer day - unthinkable in here
I think i have to try out what you guys there feel. I just put on all my gear and go to sauna and try to be there, well lets say a minute

To give you an idea................
I was in a nearby town (50miles/80K's) away.
Temp was 45 C. I stripped off my leather jacket and turned a garden hose on myself, especially my shirt. When I was completely wet, and I mean totally dripping wet,I put my jacket back on, and rode home.
When I stripped my jacket off, I WAS COMPLETELY DRY. Total ride time home - 35 minutes. When we say HOT, we mean HOT !
I've ridden in temps down to 4C, travelling at 120 plus KPH, which gives a cold index of what..............? -15C ??
I'll take the heat, at least the road isn't turning to ice under your tyres.........
And there's always a hose every 60 Kilos

Damn i always understand that problem is that you will be sweating inside gear too much not getting too dry At least here it is like that - when you stand in a place you will be sweating too much, but when starting to ride like 90-130kph then it will be all right.
But i remember at 2006 when i was in South Africa i got out of the air conditioned car as less as possible
well here the forecast said it's going to be a snowstorm, so getting home tonight will be a hell of a traffic jam again:S
People are interesting things, always thinking that somewhere is better

Starting my winter projects
Here is a pic of my 'Cane on the new stands. Also without the fairings and the exhuast removed. I have not removed my header since I have bought the bike. I couldn't find a exhuast system that I liked to replace the stock one. When I removed the header I found that there were no exhuast gaskets at all on my 'Cane.
