I thought that too (apart from not being part eskimo just cold hearted 😆) but its amazing how fast the weedy human body can acclimatise. Two weeks maximum is all it takes. 

Like 27c with humidity 30 something is pretty well my limit... Morning was excellent.. 23c.

They did a good job with air flow on this model... I can only compare it to my old one... Hot air is eject from the side by defectors I don't feel anything on the knees.. It got up to 27 c today mid day... The seat is super sticky and after riding for a wyll... It pulls the jeans wright into my croch area... Yes I will definitely look for 1 of those seat covers 

I felt the same. Sticky seat, hot temperatures, you're sliding front and your nuts are getting squeezed by the too warm pants, it's not fun.

Try the cover, it'll help with heat and sweat, feel less grippy than the seat, while also making the seat itself comfier.

The bike is a mess... Needs a good wash and a chain service... Now to plan my next trip... Im on holiday.. Yay!!!

Anyway I'm truly blessed to live in this location.. It's a bike rider paradise.. Snow cap mountain a couple hours away.. Countess km of off road trails... Lush and green... To the south.. Highness tides in the world.. Hopewell rocks to the Cabot trail.... I can't possibly show you all these locations in these pics.... You can go to the same locations without ever taking the same route.... The only down fall is the riding season is short..

Thing is, it’s nice to decide to go on a multi day ride and just doing it, way a couple of weeks at the worst time of year and it’ll still be shit to me, but paradise to a brit.

@Marcel, how can it be motorcycling paradise if the motorcycle is grounded more time in a year than it is allowed out?

Well it kinda works both ways... If I was riding 12 months out of the year... I don't know.. But I think I might get bored and stop riding maybe... The bike is layed off for half of the year and its like a new beginning every year... You just can't wait to get back on and ride like a mad man...

That would be carnage in Portugal, stick all bikes inside for half a year and then suddenly it's riding season? 20% wouldn't return home

I can't really compare the size of new Brunswick to anything else... But I think it's comparable to some countries... Population is real low here... Less than a million for the entire province... Just the way we like it...
