Its been a really mild Winter out here in Denmark but I still got caught out today. I wasn't expecting this.

And if anyone wants to know how to keep their hands dry and warm get a set of military overmitts off ebay. They work a treat. My hands were boiling under there and thats after 30 kms.

That's nice! Used to play with my C90 back in Bucharest when the whether was like that! :)) It's so fun! Light bike and low centre of gravity... Had a problem once... took my Transalp to see a movie and it was dry and warm-ish... came out of the cinema and a white blanked everywhere... :lol:

I was sweaty and had muscle pain! The brake was useless! :roll:

This happened to me in St. Moritz in September on the way back from a Moto Guzzi meeting at Lake Como. The rest of the week had been wonderful weather. When I went to bed it was raining but no sign of snow.

I only had light rain gear with me. I was pleased to get out of the mountains. Once at the bottom it was sunny and hot all the way home to Denmark.

Another Real shocker.
