It's actually a very gratifying way to stop ball chaffing when you're hiking or swamp butt when you're on a hot leather saddle for a long period of time.

It's not usually this hot or humid around here, but I will remember this
if this weather keeps up. It was worse today than any other this week.

The pigs around here would want it all! Hell, they'd probably sniff it off of the engine - while it was running!
But, WW, we could use you here today. After a week of over 2 inches of rain every day,
today we got over 3. Some major roads were more than 5 foot under water, and within a 10 minute walk from my place houses and businesses were flooded out. Tomorrow, hopefully, I'll be able to work on the GZ.

Re: Problems related?

5 feet of water on major roads is major trouble. That much water can wash out roadbeds below the pavement and then some one falls through into an ugly hole. A small watermain leak can accomplish the same thing and no one is the wiser until a bus crashes down into a pit. Hopefully no one gets hurt and the repairs are job security for the maintenance guys who make things right again.
Comes to mind an event one of my coworkers did. He fired up two major pumps full tilt in a given area. The pressure increase blew fire hydrants into the sky like rockets. Just plain stupid. Water can be a powerful force, do major damage and really is capable of threatening a person's life.

Re: Problems related?

I have found that riding at highway speeds on hot days even affects my Shadow which I thought was built for such riding. It affects the shifting. It really needs an oil cooler or at least some cooling fins on the lower case. I haven't read other complaints, so I think it is peculiar to my bike. I am thinking that a spring in the tranny weakens when the oil is very hot because it goes back to normal after cooling just a couple minutes. No leaks though.
