It sure was...but that didn't slow down Long Beach Mike, who rode in on his California Scooter to say hi earlier today...

I had a nice chat with Michael.  His CSC 150 is set up exactly like mine...a bike that is basically stock except for the bags, the rack, and the windshield.  It's a combination that works well.

So how hot was it?  Well, the day ain't over yet, but one thermometer outside told me it was 104, and a good friend posted a photo on Facebook from the Palm Desert area showing this...

Hot stuff, folks!   I'm going to let it cool down a bit.   Susie and the girls are going to the movies tonight (they're seeing a chic flick, and that's just not my cup of tea), so I'm going to use that as an excuse to get out on the Baja Blaster...
