It's NOT THAT different, unless you live in the Kimberleys. I Haven't seen any snow ploughs in London. Climate where I live is about the same as Hobart and you get " Black Ice" even at 1400 hours at Harrietville And frosted roads within 5Kms of Here.. In Burra, when I woke up, my RED 1918 INDIAN was WHITE. I've been in WAGGA when the temp never got over 4 degrees all day and I rode the whole day on a Rally. Afterwards I got into the Motel Bed fully clothed and left the Electric Blanket on full for ages . Nev
