“As cold as the dags on a polar bear’s bum.”
14 days before departure.
A fortnight to go and I still haven’t settled on a motorcycle. No matter how many times I try, I can’t seem to get a CB500X. It may be time to let that idea go.
I’ve now inquired with another company about their sole remaining Suzuki SV650. By all accounts, a capable and comfortable motorcycle.
I’ve also begun to wonder about my riding gear. I plan on taking UniQlo HeatTech undergarments and some light woolen mid layers and just go with textile road gear, but… will that be enough? Should I consider buying some trek/adventure riding gear?
I’ll be fine up around Christchurch, but according to NewZealand.com’s Climate and Weather page, Invercargill scores an average of about 11.4°C during November.
I think it may be time to visit AMA Warehouse to check out some adventure riding gear after all.
