Hot stuff!
Now that the weather has turned traditionally British, I was thinking back to riding in Italy this summer.
It was seriously hot, but I have a mesh jacket & also wore Kevlar jeans with short boots so I was prepared, to a degree (pun intended). I have also ridden many times in Southern France over the years.
Obviously, it is much worse at a standstill, the heat from the engine & exhaust is especially uncomfortable in the inner-thigh region. I suppose the engine configuration of a Ducati adds to this, sitting directly over the rear pot.
Anyway, my question is (at last I hear you say), why is it we suffer from the engine heat in hot weather but don't appear to benefit from it at all when it is cold?
