central heating in the winter

I live in ireland buddy, if i was a fair weather biker i'd be pretty ****ed :)

the sv is my only form of transport (until i get new carbs for the bandit) 365 days a year

Most people ride bikes, maybe that's where you're going wrong.

Muttley - have to say that a) you haven't greatly added to the debate here and b) if you are going to criticise people's use of punctuation, you should first sort out your own. This is the second time in five minutes that your use of commas has given me cause to chuckle. I hope this isn't going to turn into the grammar and punctuation police forum.

Aluminium is a good heat conductor so it's not a surprise that it gets hot.

I've got burns thru my gear on the inside of my legs before, frame sometimes gets hotter than the exaust on my bike

I've never had it get that hot, but it's been hot enough that I couldn't comfortably hold my leathered up legs against the frame.
