Well the temp dipped down to 75F for the first time since I've bought my Vision.

It was like having a different engine and transmission. The big V-Twin likes it and the transmission shifted very smooth dare I say almost metric bike like.
Can't wait till the temp drops more or may just take a ride up North.

Man ..... Down here in Palm Beach area it's already 80. Im with you though. Love the summer for the water but not for biking. Either ride after 6 or early in the morning and back by noon. Either to hot or a storm pops up every afternoon. Love the fall winter and spring. I could ride all day when it's 70's and low 80's out.

I'm a bit further north and I also notice a huge difference a change in temperature. I've never had the bike over heat but the body panels definately restrict the air a little too much. I think this is why the Vic Oil only lasts around 3500 to 4000 miles in my bike.

You should just dump that oil at 3k. Oh sh!t...... Here we go again.......sorry no really I am sorry. Please let's not turn this into an oil thread !

I just rode from SoCal to southern Alberta. Going north didn't help with the temperature, hotter here than it was at home! 104 the last couple of days!

Been thinking of riding up to Cicero, NY area before it gets too chilly up there for my thin Florida blood. Bet the Vic hums when the temp is in the 50s.

I commute daily and there are days when I get out of work and it feels like a furnace outside. However riding home in the rain during the summer actually feel good unless it's a microburst with high wind and lightning.....

Right now in the mornings it runs incredibly well!!! Not quite into the 50's but close, lol
