    I recently returned from a ride to Vegas. It was 114 degrees between Reno and Vegas. I didn't notice any heat from the bike. My buddies on their harleys sure felt the heat. One was complaining that his leg was burnt.

    No doubt. We've ridden our CVO 110 Road King to Key West the past three years in July and if you don't position your leg just right the engine heat even cruising along at 80 with 95°F + ambient will give you a 1st degree burn through denim. It's the one thing that there is no fix for other than moving to a water cooled Harley which is our next move.

    Yes, I tried to sell my wife on just using F6B as our only big bike and also attempted to woo her with a 40th anniv GL1800. No dice, she likes the Harleys.

    She needs to take the course and get her own bike!
    Why should you have to burn your bits for her aesthetic inclinations?
    Wait, don't answer that...we don't need to know...

    Debbie prefers riding two-up... On all things two wheeled aND thats fine by me. And at 60, taking up riding big bikes probably isn't a wise choice even though she rides a mean pedal bike.
