I thought the bike had an issue because the oil came out, but thats because the idle was set to low. Bike idles now nicely at 1K RPM with no issues. This is a pic from today as temps hit 95.

Don't feel like the lone ranger. Every time I feel like I'm dying in our heat wave, memories of snow, ice and raining for a month pop up to kill all of those crazy thoughts.
Sharp bike! Great pic! I like red!

We road along the Illinois river to Peoria yesterday and reserved a favorite camp site for the Blues and Heritage Music festival on Labor Day weekend.
