I never hit much traffic where I live, but when I do have to stop for any amount of time my "fertile crescent" begins to warm quite rapidly on the 696.  Also I believe if I wore shorts, I'd probably suffer 2nd degree burns.  But I understand that that's just the bike telling me she wants to be flogged and gets pissed when she has to sit stlll.

ditto.  Don't ride in traffic much.  did get stuck in 5pm herk & jerk on Canal St, in Nashua.  Didn't take long to start roasting the parts.  Same for the one time I got caught on 101A heading towards Amherst at about 5:30.

Favorite convo i read on this board
"PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN"
"F**K U IT HAPPENED"

Suzuki Blvd M109R " Sliver " = assassinated by cager
PW 696 " Pearl " = traded in
M1100 " Loki " = Viking God of mischief ( Goddess in this case )
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty pristine body, but rather to come in sliding sideways all used up screaming F*CK YEAH WHAT A RDIE!!

I haven't switched but if I'm stuck in traffic the heat from the 1100 is BAD! I'm going to ceramic coat the exhaust and maybe get some of these exhaust guards from Bellisimoto
