Bike has done pretty well during our now 6 day heatwave in NYC. Temps have averaged 95-97F sice last Friday.

I thought the bike had an issue because the oil came out, but thats because the idle was set to low. Bike idles now nicely at 1K RPM with no issues. This is a pic from today as temps hit 95.

Don't feel like the lone ranger. Every time I feel like I'm dying in our heat wave, memories of snow, ice and raining for a month pop up to kill all of those crazy thoughts. :-)

Sharp bike! Great pic! I like red!

You call that a heat wave? Try 110 on a regular basis.

The heat and humidity is has backed off around here and we are having a beautiful weekend
We road along the Illinois river to Peoria yesterday and reserved a favorite camp site for the Blues and Heritage Music festival on Labor Day weekend.
