90 and sunny here this afternoon. Rained most of the morning. gonna ride this afternoon The oil leak is right in my backyard (I'm 26 miles from the gulf as the crow flies) and you can smell it in the air. Rode down to the coast last weekend and words cannot describe how much oil there really is and we only got the very tip of the slick.

when my bike leaks oil, the engine runs hot, so it makes sense that the earth is leaking oil, so it's running a little hot...

Ah man. That's a shame. I feel for the people that make their living on the water. But we're all going to pay for this mess -- one way or another.

Man, I could use one of those. I ride a daily commute of 60 miles each way. Itt's not bad in the morning, but I dread the ride home. I've been soaking my shirt in water before leaving, but that only seems to get me half way home. THEN I hit bumper to bumper Atlanta traffic, and it's just miserable. Glad I have an oil cooler and the ETMS.

At least I've been watching my oil temps and they haven't broken 240 yet, even in traffic. Oh well, better days will come. Have a trip planned up north in a few weeks. Looking forward to that.

Bah..it ain't that hot yet. Wait till August. My Fatboy is my primary form of transportation (as long as it's not raining like a cow peeing on a flat rock).
But yeah, it is hot as hell.

Need an example? Take your blow dryer (we all know you have one), point at face, turn on high fan, high heat. Enjoy the beautiful Phoenix summer.
