I do that all the time. Makes people in cages think I am either crazy or drunk and they stay away from me..

No, why is everyone so obsessed with the temp of everything. Just ride it and enjoy. If something blows up or falls off then you know you have a problem.

Yeah, but what oil do you use to fry your fish and at what temperature?

Geez I was just asking if anyone else checked their tire temps.I appreciate all the feedback relating to that question. Why bother checking oil temps or cyl head temps either, just check the level and ride. Make sure to follow the Lemmings in front and drink the Kool Aid.

I'm obsessive about too many things as it is, I really don't have time for one more...

Thanks for the laugh.
