Good question when people think desert it is high desert 5,000 feet so hot in daylight and can drop 40 to 50 deg at night and in Reno it has a history of snow in every month of the year. One club ride into California we started with a temp of 62 deg. went the back roads to Truckee CA in rain snow over MT Rose in to Reno at 85 deg. My TR 6 never has the top up heater works well and at 65 MPH plus say dry any way. These may just be a flip still thinking. Madflyer
