You could stick it up your dog's butt but I'm not sure what it's even suppose to read. Check with your Vet.

Yea, mine runs at about 230 too after being stuck in traffic ... and on the Fatboy Lo, that rear cylinder can start to cook you if you don't slide back in the seat a bit.

It read about 75 degrees in the trash can where I threw it years ago. Unless your bike hits 300 degrees it dosen't matter and you will know if your bikes hot before it reaches that.

107 degrees here yesterday and 104 today
