I believe it's cool enough to wear my kilt.
Getting close to time to put one freedom away and wear my kilt full time again.
This might be the final nudge.....well maybe two more weeks?

Outside my shop this afternoon. Yes, I did ride it home.

Beautiful, Robert. I haven't stored mine yet, but I'm sure that it goes away soon.

Thankfully, on the Island I can wear my kilt all year.

You, sir, are a braver man than I. I lowsided on an icy bridge a few years ago, so anything that even remotely resembles snow or slush makes me twitchy now.

Robert... We hit 20 deg C today in Calgary. Unfortunately the forcast for next Monday is a high of - 5.
Cheers...Bill

Robert,
I think you mentioned when I visited in July that it does get cold in your shop, but is it early this year?
You may have seen news of the bushfires in the Blue Mountains to the west of Sydney and elsewhere in the state (NSW). Our temperatures of mid to high 30s C over the last week or more are unseasonally early. The northern hemisphere equivalent would be scorchers in late April.

Colorado weather is probably a bit more forgiving than where you're at, Canuck...but there's no reason a little slushy snow should keep you from riding home! I'm hoping that the weather this winter stays balmy enough that I'll only have to put my bike away for only a couple days at a time.

All but two of mine are put away for the winter. That's the funny thing about this time of year up here, you can go hunting in the morning at -4 degrees and go for a ride on the bike in the afternoon at 20 degrees.

Thanks Robert for the reminder. It's either this weekend or next, especially if the bike is going to get a cleaning as part of winterizing.
It is amazing how fast our temperatures have dipped into single digits

I've been checking the weather on an hourly basis, I'm planning on riding to Toronto on my bike this weekend. Working on the best way to pack my kilt as I will be attending the opera Saturday night. Monday I will be buying leather for a customers kilt (I'm trying to make this kilt related as much as possible.)
Once the bike is put away for winter I plan to do the maintenance whilst wearing my work kilt
Thanks for the replies gents, it seems I'm not alone in a passion for two wheels.
