Yay. Great. It's almost 90 outside. Can somebody come up with something for to keep my nuts from getting roasted when they land on that black seat that's been cooking in the sun for hours? If they can make those ice chests that run on 12vdc with low amps, a seat with cooling coils doesn't seem all that farfetched.

There's money to be made here I tell you. Big money.

"Infants, roasting on the open fire,
Barbeque sauce, dripping from their toes..."

Yeah, the towel is my high tech solution too. I swipe the hotel pool towels with the blue stripe and use them...then the lawn guys steal them from me when they come through the parking lot.

There are some "Half Covers" for sale that might work; if they're quick and easy to put on, and get small so I don't have to install the Givi Airbrakes for every ride. In addition to keeping the seat temps under 300F, I'd like to keep that new paint shiny as long as possible. The ideal solution would be a lightweight nylon cover just big enough to fit over the fairing in the front and the rack in the back, and go about 1/3 the way down. No need to be waterproof, just to provide shade.

Yo Ken,

The !Kung tribe (the ones who speak in clicks and clacks) of Southern Africa has a cool term for the young men of their tribe. They call them "shade experts".

Anyway, I was just being snarky and jealous about the idea of 90 degree temperatures. It gets that hot here. It happens at least once a century.

I think a few of those umbrella girls from Moto GP races are the true solution.
My gloating is over. It's going to be close to freezing here tonight. Unlike some of our pals here, riding in anything under 60F is out of the question for me. My blood is way to thin... However, by the end of the week, we should be back to at least 70 or so.

Dearest Sachi,

Special thanks for expanding my vocabulary.
I had to look it up too. But it was a kinder, gentler way to tell me to rip my balls of with a plastic fork, don't you think?

While we're on the subject, why doesn't somebody come up with a bike seat that accommodates "that certain part of a man's body?" I did about 300 miles last Saturday. My back was ok thanks to Dr. Vikey, my butt didn't bother me too much, but after 150 miles I was standing on the pegs to get the strain off the unitoidal zone.

New Product Release Notes:

"It's Dr. Richard Ballzac's Comfy Cutout Motorcycle Seat! Configured with a recessed zone down the middle of the seat, Dr. Ballzac's Comfy Cutout moves the pressure from the genitailia to the buttocks, where it belongs. Just listen to these testimonials: 'Forget Iron Butt Rally, that's NOT where I used to hurt. But now, thanks to Dr. Ballzac, I'm riding further and arriving more refreshed than ever!' 'Now I can have that family my wife has been bugging me for. I cannot thank Dr. **** enough!' Available at all finer motorcycle supply outlets."
