Slick. Is that a shuttlecraft in the middle?

Great ride... Great choice of tunes to. BR, one of my all time favourites.

I feel for you with this heat. It got to 28c here and I thought I was going to die. That is until I read your recent posts. I stopped complaining... Keep cool

112 degrees -- do your tires melt at that temp?

Glad you liked the video.

Thanks Ruby

Sometimes the tires feel a bit splashy -- but I think it may be the road that melts.
