hot

I'm in Castelo Branco, Portugal.
Mid 30's most of the day, but hit 39c a few times yesterday.
Took the upper screen off the Givi for more airflow and it really helped.
Hand guard extenders off next.

Was in that area a couple of days back ... If you have the time head north to Covilha and west towards Seia over the Serra da Estrella .. Some of the best biking roads I have ever encountered , You really must

OH TEE = OT

Was standing on the dock Monday at noon waiting to board the Santander - Portsmouth ferry 30 degrees and melting with 145 other bikers. Always seems to be only two types of weather there, as described or wet and miserable!
This area is becoming very popular for motorcycling which if you've ever visited the Picos or Pyrenees is probably stating the obvious, but its been 10 years since I've taken the boat home and the experience was excellent, and much improved IMO.
A long canvas awning though on one embarking lane for motorbikes would be a welcome (cheap) addition for the climatic extremes in this area, or am I getting soft?
Any other Tossers there with me? I spoke to a few GS riders who had not even heard of this site allegedly!!

A few of us are setting off for around there on Sunday to do some trails, and I've been wondering what sort of riding kit to take. 39c has made my mind up . . . . Speedos and a helmet

32 C here in los marcelinos, Andalucia at present. Blue skies with a gentle breeze, just perfect !!
Unfortunately, I think it's going to change for the weekend, we're off to Alcaniz tomorrow for the MotoGP.
