It's mid-winter here in New Zealand but we have been having some pretty decent weather so long as you're dressed up warm (and have heated grips). Yesterday was my first decent run on my 5th gen in a few months, and I had forgotten what a great little machine this is. The brakes could do with a bit more bite but otherwise it was a serene and fun 280km round trip.
That's awesome! When winter comes here in Canada, only the ones with great bravery (or stupidity) choose to ride in the deep snow we get, particularly Manitoba. Bike looks great!
