Down here its that hot its uncomfortable to ride to the point that you don't , do the morning and late afternoon thing if you can , would love some of that cold. been nearly 40 deg 90 percent Humid . Is a bit sad you can't ride hope a little sunshine comes your way for your birthday, I'll send you some of ours.

Hard to believe it's that hot over there, since it's minus 10 over here....

Btw, don't start up the bike to much without riding it, not too well for the bike, or leave
it on for like 20 mins, else some gasses wont get burned and stay somewhere behind.

It's a condensation issue mostly. I don't think that can always be avoided in cold weather even if you ride the bike. I've seen my oil sight glass fog up in 30 degree F weather after shutting down. Other than that, there's some contamination to the oil from combustion. I try to avoid this stuff but really, it would be very possible that the bike might go for 3 months in the summer with contaminated oil because I'm riding the bike.

Scott I just came from Jamaica it was beautiful!!! the way they were driving out there I don't think you would have wanted to take the beast unless you are going to ride it around on the top deck!!!
