if he thinks the 10 gets hot, he should ride a Honda or a Yamaha. those things run hotter than mine ever has.

and yes, the engine ice will help more than 2 degrees.

You are correct! I havent figured out how to fly over red lights and bumper to bumper traffic, but maybe in time, just maybe...

In all seriousness though - you are 100% right. The bike runs very cool on the highway.

Apparently the fact I have 3 decades of MOTO experience doesnt mean I am 'fast', it means I am 'too old' to go 'fast enough' to keep my bike temerature below the flashing red light.

At some point all the years of experience just means I am 'old & slow' so I better stop bragging about all my decades of "blah, blah, blah!!"

I just didnt think it would be at the tender, young age, of only 37! My father didnt start AMA roadracing until he was just over 50 and somehow he is still extremely fast. Like embarrass young kids - fast - as he flies by on his old junky Canadian model 'team butthead' RZ350 - right past all the super high tech, super ultra whizz-bang, major high dollar- late model 600cc machines, HHHHAHHAHAHHA...

Crushed many a viagra artificially enlarged ego that old man. Even a few 'skilled' riders been skooled by the old man over the years..
