You're right, Pons, and that is the cool thing, no pun intended. Hydration is no. 1,2 & 3 and folks are/were just looking out for his interests. I wasn't trying to make light of the 'heat', just saying that it is very manageable. Admittedly, some handle and/or adjust to heat, and cold, better than others. Being prepared is the key but once you are it isn't a bad ride. Thanks.

Barry, welcome to our fair state. The weather is darn good overall, in my opinion, but like everything it is up to individual. Enjoy your stay.

I like the thunderstorms here. I'm from California but did 4 years in great falls Montana. Coldest I saw was -53. Pretty cold for a California boy. Then my next base was/is Edwards afb in the middle of the Mojave desert. With gets into the 120s. So I've been on both ends of the spectrum, but Montana and California have something in common low humidity. That's what gets me about this part of the country. Always being sweaty and sticky. The winter is nice though.

Barry, while you were at Andrews, did you happen to ride a dirt bike through Jaw Bone Canyon? I rode out there many years ago. We would ride up on top of a mountain and watch the dog fights! I've got some pictures buried somewhere. It's a beautiful place!

My uly has the updated pivot pin but the bolt did break just like in the recall. I guess I am going to still call them and see if its covered.
