that makes sense then when he was sending me pics. the weather in Japan really differs that much?!?!?!?! i wouldn't think with as small as the island is that Okinawa wouldn't get snow and you'd get that much in Tokyo. amazing really

 

Oh yeah, big difference between north and South...we get theSiberian windsup here. There is also the Northernmost Islandcalled Hokkaido..they get even more snow than us. Basically there are three main islands..Hokkaido (northernmost), Honshu (the largest one) and Kyushu to the south. Okinawa is a totally separate little Island with tropical weather year around.The people there were not originally part of Japan and the eldersstill speaktheir own separate language. Theyhavemore rounded features with darkerskin. Anyway, Okinawan summersare smothering if you're not accustomed to that type of heat.

 

Cool pics.

I did 120 miles yesterday on the honda... man it feels great to ride. Taking the mountain bikes out today.

 

well here in NE i don't think heat and humitidy will ever be an issue since it's crazy bad here

 

We get snow down here too.
Well, it looks[sm=exactly.gif] like snow.


This was a big dump we had last week.[8D]

 

Nice pics, Dean. How's the Renazco working out?

 

Theseat is awesome! I did the whole ride (about 100mi) yesterday in normal blue jeans and had absolutley no issues with comfort.Any stops these days are for food, gas and, errr downloads.As youwrote earlier, itbecomes even more comfortable the more you use it.

In fact, I sentJames Renazco andChris Hickson some props and pictures yesterday. We'll see if they put thelittle KLX in their gallery or not.

 

I wasn't aware you had dunes like that in W.A. How far of a drive are they?

 

Lancelin is about 90 minutes north of Perth.
We're known to the rest of Australia as "sandgropers".
There's pretty much an endless selection of terrain to ride in WA.
The state is bigger than Western Europe and runs from arid desert in the east to tropical rainforest in the north to a 'Euro' temperate climate where it meets the Southern Ocean.

Hey Dean, thanks for the report, looks nice there, and speaking of "there" what is it you are there for? I forgot.
