Uh...what did you stop for? I do the same thing all the time here, but I don't stop. I find that at speed, the wind will push the heat thru the exhaust vents in the fairing, so I just jam one hand in one side. When it is warm enough, I switch hands. (Have to be careful on the right side though, I use my left hand for the throttle. Or just coast down a bit.) (Realizing the liability of making such comments, Brandon quickly added a disclaimer.) This maneuver was performed by an experienced rider on a closed course <cough><cough>, and should not be attempted by an unskilled rider at any time. You should always wear a helmet, gloves and kevlar underwear whenever you ride. And turn your light on. (Did I cover everything?) :^) Anyway, it's an old trick, I'm just too damn lazy to get off the bike and wait for the fans to kick in. I do remember a time once where I was hugging my XS1100 engine under an over- pass though.... No fans. Darn air cooled engines. Heh. Brandon
