Default Austin rot

This was my first year to attend this event, and all i can say is HOLLY CRAP it was fun!!!!1 It was Hotter than POOP though and my scooter died a couple of times. i have the PC V and Basic Slip--ons from V&H, i thought this was going to cool it down but it didnt, it actually blew black smoke a couple of times from the air breather! Can anyone help with this?

Thanks

Don't ride in the Friday night parade or around that crazy stop and stop and maybe go a little loop at the rally site. That will kill any bike, I don't care what you've done to it to make it run cooler. I can't believe the idiots that sit in that crap constanly racking the pipes up to the rev limiter.

I was there Thursday through Sunday and my bike never had a problem with the heat. My buddy's went into heat management mode once.

I gotta admit, it was Africa hot. I have the blisters on top of my ears to prove it.
