As we head into spring now, here in Aussie, the weather has really started to pick up nicely.
Today was a very pleasant 23c (73.5 f) and gorgeous sunshine. I just had to take the S3 out for a punt through the local hills.

Hmmm, TBH Simon, I'd never thought about it.
I bought the bike as several boxes of bits, and built it up from that with what was there (there was no tank, sidecovers or tail piece at all).
The kicker was in the box, so I guess I just fitted whatever was available.
This was in the days just a bit before the internet. So much more information available now. You've got me wondering

Well, it was an even nicer day today, with a top temp of 25c.
I only had a short ride in mind, so took one of the tiddlers - my little GA5-A 100. (I had to move the S3 to get the GA out.)
Sorry, crap photo's due to sun glare, and don't worry, I'm not going to do this all spring and summer.

A nice problem to have, and please keep them coming all Summer. It will help us get through a cold British winter

You have backed yourself into a corner there Jeff, you have said about wanting to taking more photos when you are out and about and now it is summer down under. it's going to be soooo hard for you.

Skub, I’m in Melbourne, down in the south-east corner of the continent.
Where I was riding is generally known as the Yarra Valley. Heaps of good roads, and I don’t have to ride too far to get to that area.
We’ve had a ‘less than average’ rainfall this winter - apparently, but a little bit of rain, followed by some sunshine, really makes the paddocks green-up.

It's lovely.
One of my sons lives in Perth and it's a lot less green there!
We can't have too many photos,btw.
