Downpipes work a treat with bare hands, couple of seconds does the trick..

I like to see how long i can grip the downpipes for. A few seconds is spot on.

Once i held on too tightly and my skin seized to it. I had to ask a passer by to help and then get bandages. The bleeding stopped about 8pm that night.

The exhaust works well too.

Haha, I was a little worried about my cover getting a bit too friendly with the hot exhaust today, took the bike to work to show a few mates and brought it back at lunch time (it actually takes more time for me to get the bike out than to walk to work...), didn't really have time to let it cool down so stuck the cover on as soon as I'd put the bike in its spot and got out of my bike gear. Thankfully, the cover seems to be at least resistant enough for that amount of cooling down!

Haha same!

I just make sure I go somewhere after work; usually library but still... a ride is a ride :)

A word of caution - I have melted bits of gloves when warming/drying them on bits of the bike.
