Training Wheels
Recently bought my first Kawa, a 2009 Connie 14 at that! Sold the BMW and moved over to Japanese. Yesterday while riding my shins, more so the right leg, was burning so bad it was downright painful. I got home after the short 1 hr ride and actually have 1st degree burns (red tender skin) on both legs .. about 3" long area on each leg. So what is up with this heat? I was wearing Olympia riding pants, the mesh version, which is more thin, but what the hell... I should not have experienced this. Any comments from the group? Add-on ---- Took the bike out today (Sunday) with heavier BMW (Fall/Winter) pants and did not feel the heat. Still, does this mean I have to '86' my mesh Summer pants? Any solutions to reduce this hot air problem? By the way, was a terrific day in Malibu along PCH today. 2009 Kawasaki Concours 14; Black, ABS 2008 BMW F800ST Catching a yellow jacket in your shirt @ 70 mph can double your vocabulary
