Here in sunny Vero Beach, Florida, it's pretty flat, hot, and humid too. Having said that, you must have been able to hotwire it pretty quickly. I just can't imagine a scenario where hotwiring it would be faster or easier than push-starting it, but things are pretty different here. There are lots of wide open spaces where I can get my bike rolling fast enough without putting myself in danger, and I've never hotwired anything in my life.
