Title: Welcome to spring
Post by: bubba zanetti on August 31, 2006, 04:45:40 PM
The title says it all. Today is the first day of spring & what a glorious day it is.

To celebrate this wonderful occasion I rode the bike to work for the first time since April.  :thumb:

Heres a little poem for this wonderful season

Spring has sprung
The grass has rise
wonder where the lawn mower is?

:cheers:

So that means I can still ride my GS in the "american" winter, cause it'll still be spring, then summer somewhere else? :laugh:

When I first read the title to this post I thought "is bubba zanetti dumb?" 

obviously not. (Fall is just starting for us folks in the northern hemisphere)
Make this riding season a good one because it goes by fast, it won't be long before I have to put my bike away for the winter  :cry:

Oh Well, time to get the skis ready to go, Have a nice spring.

I think Bubba is mocking us...  He's gonna be happily riding his GS, while most of us up here will get to see our GS's by walking into the garage, or peeking under the snow-covered tarps.

I motion that Bubba should be locked up on grounds of living in the south.  Aw, the hell with it!  Lock EVERYONE who lives in the nicer weather areas! :laugh:

Did they redefine the seasons downunder or something?  Around these here parts, the seasons correspond to the solstices and equinoxes.  The autumnal equinox (vernal equinox for you) isn't until September 23.

The seasons run every 3 months,
summer = December, January, Febuary
Autumn = March, April, May
Winter = June, July, August
Spring = September, October, November

I think it's done that way so it's easier for the dummies to understand than solstices & equinoxes.

Dont worry winter is a crap time of year. Actually spring & autumn are the best time of year for riding. winters too bloody cold & summer is too bloody hot.
