Hello all,

Does anyone have an opinion on extreme hot weather riding?

102 degrees here in Oklahoma City today. I rode early in the A.M. when the temp
was already 80 degrees and spent the middle part of the day helping out at the
local scooter shop. (Atomic Brown Scooter Shop...great people).
I waited till the relative cool of the evening to ride home.

I remember a discussion here or at Scooter BBS about the subject. Someone
proposed the argument that a 30 degree difference in ambient air temperature of
say 70 degrees and 100 degrees results in a relatively small percentage increase
in the engine operating temperature.
I don't know how warm our Bajaj engines run on a typical day but the logic of
the above statement does seem to make sense.
Anyone have any thoughts about this theory?

Thanks for any input...I'm not keen about putting undue stress on my 19
thousand mile scoot.
