I really wanted to be wearing shorts today... and it's getting even hotter thurs/fri over here. The only thing stopping me from wearing shorts is knowing that I would likely burn myself on my exhaust within the first five minutes.

I am with ya... my buddy burned the hell outta both calves riding a bike in shorts... just at the redlights.... granted he is a short dude, and was riding a bike too tall for him... but still, those sores looked nasty... then again, its HOT out!

I only ever touch my leg on the pipes when I park the bike on the stand and don't get off right away. But still... knowing my luck...
