every once in a while I will putt around the block after washing the bike, usually with no windshield either. Feels very odd and that pavement looks like a huge hot grinding wheel to me !!

I rode in shorts a few times when i had my rocket, First time i did it on my HD was about a month ago, i was just going to drop my bike off. A buddy of mine showed up for a long weekend ride in shorts, which is what got me thinking about doing it. I didn't feel comfortable at all and i sure noticed the heat from the engine a lot more than normal. Not that i would never do it again but i won't be doing any trips like that.
Congrats on your new scoot.

First of all congrats on the new scoot...i like that root beer color....very nice bike.
Secondly, i have riden in shorts in my local area just down to a local hangout once in a while. I never ride the highway in them. Today i saw a guy riding a sporty with shorts and a t-shirt and a full face helmet.... I never under stood that.....why wear shorts and have a full face helmet....weird
