grateful..will try that..thanks although I am omniverous

jacko/georgie...48 is too hot but I still hate the cold.
Many many years ago I was coming across the top of the pennines on the M62 on my Honda CB750(late 70's this was), it was December and freezing, I stopped for petrol and I had to fall off the bike to get off it.
Never again will I do winter on a motorcycle, my immaculate CBR1000 Fireblade is going off the road after 30th Sept, on it's stands, battery conditioner on and the cover and see you in April 2010.

Forgot you were a biker terry. Reminds me of a guy I worked with in Birmingham. One march he rode from brum to Inverness in one go on a ducati 900 supersport. Nice bike but not a tourer. he told me he couldn't stand up straight for 2 days.

Graeme:

There is a HUGE difference in the weather one encounters in Florida vs. Northern California. First of all, Florida has oppressive humidity, a condition that is virtually unknown around here. Though it is true that Santa Rosa will get into the high 90's a few times a year, it usually stays in the 70-80's in the summer. Even if it gets into the 90's, a 45 minute to hour drive south to the bay, or west to the coast, will bring that temp. down 15-20 degrees. Many people who visit in July and August complain about the cool weather as it is still often in the 60-70's during those months. September is our warmest month of the year. I used to hate the heat and humidity of the summers,and the cold and snow of the winters where I grew up in New York. Northern California/San Francisco Bay Area weather stays in the middle, rarely approaching either extreme.

Bill, tgo

The Bay area was the best place to live (weather wise).
My family and I spent 7 years there and enjoyed every day.
We lived near the 680 and 880 junction in San Jose. Berryessa.
Santa Rosa is not too far away from there. Just a couple of hours away.
You can get to SF in 45 min. (off-peak) G
ilroy, the garlic capital of the world was south about 30 minutes.
To the west was Santa Cruz around 1/2 hour.
The hills to the east and about 15min to Mount Hamilton I have witnessed it snow capped (twice).
Three hours to Lake Tahoe.
Head north to Humboldt county.
South to Los Angeles.
