I don't have any tail light cracks... but Denver hasn't had those kind of temps since I got the bike. I've also never washed the bike while warm.

45 is probably usual in some parts of AU. Just part of summer. 
45 degrees Celsius = 113 degrees Fahrenheit
A typical summer day also in Palm Desert, Death Valley, Saudi Arabia....if you subtract 10 degrees. 
woops, feeling a bit chilled. I'll turn up the heater.

(Re: DizzE) | | | We're having a tropical heat wave here in the Denver area... highs in the mid 60s forecast for today and the next few days. A few friends of mine are already out riding, but the streets are still snow-packed (but getting slushy already) for about 4 blocks in either direction of my house. Hmmmm... maybe a ride will be in the cards tomorrow.

You could try roasting 'em and sprinkle 'em on your salad. Wait, you Aussies don't eat salad!
