Default Bike overheating... Me!

Hit 86 today and on the ride home I hit traffic. No filtering here in PA. And even if I wanted to there were several times cars intentionally blocked the paths (one guy pulled over the bike lane so I couldn't pass that way). Bike's temp never got over 224 with the fan kicking in at every stop.

But when I got home and swung my leg over the bike, it looked like I p1ssed myself. My thighs were soaked with sweat! I had to hop in the house so nobody would think I did forget to pit before getting on!

I was getting a little uncomfortable riding around today, too, and it's not anywhere close the the 95-105 degree weather that's typical in the middle of the summer. I started wondering how hard it would be to create a vented seat. Might have to figure that one out.

I was thinking the same thing today on my way home from work. Some sort of cool venting system for the motor.
Even just the couple towns I have to drive through are uncomfortable at best.
The insides of your legs will get hot on just about any bike, but I swear that a 1000F has the potential to ignite your inner thighs.
