Today's Ride

Well, with Sunny SoCal gripped in a heat wave, what a better day for a ride. I, and the other motorcycle hooligans in my club, rode to Malibu, then north to Oxnard and visited a car museum. Malibu was beautiful, the fish and chips were great and the beer was cold at famous Neptune's Net. The museum was small, but had a lot of nice cars. The ride home was fine until I got to the San Fernando Valley. It had to have been 105-110 degrees. It was like riding into the gates of Hell. My temperature stayed at 212-215. This was really the first test of fire (literally) for the home made water pump. It has always performed flawlessly in 80-90 degree days, but I have always wondered how it would do if it really got hot. Did just fine. The radiator didn't puke, nothing melted except my face.
I think I'll park the bike until the weather breaks. Too hot for this old guy
