Default I smelled BBQ at 75 mph

As I get accustomed to my first Harley and find out it’s differences to some of the other bikes that I have owned I now discover something else....cooked inner right thigh. Ok, so it was 95 degrees on the interstate yesterday but dam, that air cooled motor gets hot! Had to spread my right leg outward to keep from getting toasted. Any hotter and I may have had roasted nuts to go along with it. Not a complaint but an observation.

There's a reason they say keep your knees in the breeze.

Ride through Iowa. Then you can find out what it smells like before it's BBQ.

Just imagine if ya rode in shorts!
No! Nevermind!
That's already been a topic of great concern.
Fall is coming and BBQ and roasted nuts soon won't be on the menu anymore.
All frozen food! Hang in there! Ride safe!

You know you get used to it. Putting on this crotch cooler seems to me a bad idea. I like my rear cylinder to get as much air as possible.

You fail to mention what bike you have. I had a 2012 Fatboy and I could really feel the heat on my right thigh. But now I have a 2018 Lowrider and the heat is not an issue anymore.
