Thanks guys. I was on me 'ollidayz Mick!
Arthur, I do understand your reasoning and I was of the same opinion before I got there. I even took my gloves with me and wore them for the first 30mins… I did wear trainers every time though.
To be honest it was too hot for anything else and the speeds we were doing, were not much more than what I get up to on my road bicycle which I wear even less for! Also, the traffic over there never reaches the speeds of over here in blighty, there's simply no need.
That said, I wouldn't dream of doing the same over here, I always go out the door fully kitted up on my SV, regardless if the heat.
