Mood: Almost over it.
Don't know if this is the best moment, but it'll be one I'll remember forever.

Leaving Newcastle, Australia to ride over the mountains to Bathurst, where my sister lived, to watch the weekend's races (thought I'd post this straight after Italian888's).

It was August and winter was supposed to be over (southern hemisphere you see) and I was on my Yamaha Virago 250 (I know, the horror! the horror!).

Anyway, I had to stop at Lithgow in the mountains to put on every additional piece of clothing in my backpack because of the cold.

Rode into Bathurst, surely suffering hypothermia, with ice formed all down the front of my jacket, helmet, gloves, trousers etc.

Into the first bar where, without having to be asked, the barman simply handed me a Bundy (dark rum) and coke.
