The Striple is always trying to get it's front wheel in the air but when I accidently did one on the poor old Kawasaki a couple of weeks ago I almost had to have a lie down. I had no idea it was capable of such behaviour :shock:

Its the heat in the house that really sucks, can't open windows fully, new cats are house cats, two years old never been outside don't think it's safe to let em out now they are jumpy in here, so no air flow
Just stayed in a lovely place in Portugal fair bit warmer there the house stayed cool all day and night, no aircon and a modern building not a traditional with thick walls
Went to the beach yesterday evening, in the car with air con turned to full ahead freezing, went to find a breeze, mission accomplished
