May depend on weather i guess...
If it's dry then it may be ok...
Nah you don't feel the weather with the right gear... it just gets super hot when your standing in the sun and not moving - very unpleasant...

cool...
try it, it is very pleasant...

i love night ride along the beach etc... very low traffic density, and cold air ... great fun.

Just can't wait to get off my l's and upgrade...

I passed my test in 1977, have riden all over except here, Singapore, Indonesia, Turkey, Germany and Brunei. Maybe I'll buy a bike and become a temporary Aussie.
