I am over "working" in Qatar for a week and the office managers husband rides a Multistrada most days.
Its about 40C here with high humidity right now so he has a jacket with pockets for ice packs which apparently last about an hour!!
Apparently he didnt order the bike with heated grips!!
Now I know everybody in the UK is waiting for summer to start but believe me you do not want it as hot and humid as this.
Back to snow and rain on Friday. _________________ Blue smoke and a ring ding ding |

Toasty. The warmest I've ridden in is high 30's and that starts to get a wee bit uncomfortable, I doubt the humidity I've experienced in Europe or Australia has anything on that in Qatar! _________________

When I was out there in Doha we hired quad bikes from one of the hotels and rode in the desert leading to the beach. Some of the Canadians from the College of the North Atlantic had their own quads, but I had to fly home before I could test ride theirs, but they did take me to the motogp ! _________________ It's all down to quality of life ! |
