Finally a clear sky now!

Was dust covering the roads except in the wheel tracks on the road this morning.

My bike is absolutely filthy!!! Got wet ridnig home quite late last night, now the dust has stuck to the water!

Bad news, our DSLR is totally blurred when you look through the viewfinder (from taking the photos this morning in thick dusty gale forced winds)

The lens LOOKS clean, but maybe the dust is so fine I couldn't see it and didn't have time to clean.
Will investigate tonight. :? ;)

I love when shit like this happens!

Unless of course you have a track day and drive for bloody miles only to find out the track day has been cancelled and you're left standing there with a car and bike trailer covered in red dust... - That's just shithouse. :(

Sometimes Awesome :kuda:

Have to disagree...Left at 3am this morning for OP track day...started out hazy, more grey than red. Then it started raining...mud storm from Gundagai to Goulburn...THEN

They cancelled the track day :( because the track was too dusty and strong winds expected...BUGGER...over 8 hours driving and no track time on the new tracky...AND the car and the bike look very unloved...red mud from front to back...BUGGER...

I'm almost certain the poor Kawonda will be back to red when I get home :(
perhaps the wind has cleaned it again, but I doubt it

I woke up and saw the red glow and thought one of the cars was on fire on the front lawn.........although not putting my glasses on before looking out the window probably had something to do with that!

yeah what stopped me was the wind !!! it was too strong. Then i thought it was fog at first since 5am is still pretty dark. Saw 3 bikes riding to work. Bloody hell.
