it was annoying carrying my helmet around and walking around the campus w/ racing boots.
i don't have my tail bag yet so i just brought a pocket notebook and a pen. im such a good student.
anyway, i have a question when parking outside when it gets hot... do motorcycle seats prevent absorbing too much heat? it wasn't bad today since it's only spring but when summer comes, if it's gonna be too hot. im not gonna be able to bring my bike since there's no covered parking lot at school.

WTF, did you say it is only spring
??? I guess people in California only have 2 seasons than. Anyway, I wouldn't think the seat would get too hot. Seats in a steaming car don'tburn people, so why should a motorcycle seat? Seems logical to me.

well yeah i don't mean burning hot.
i just mean if it's gonna be too hot that it will make you very miserable and get distracted from paying attention to the road.
i wanna hear from people that live in arizona or some other desert place.
also, i think technically it's still winter, but it sure feels like spring now.

hmmm... shade... i think there's a shaded parking on the theater, i hope those aren't for faculty. i'll check it this wednesday.
there's also a parking lot w/ trees. i just have to figure out which side i need to park during the hours that im there to avoid the sun.
thanks. so it does get really hot, whew, i have to make sure i get shade.

pierce college in woodland hills doesn't have a multi-story parking. heck, they don't even have multi story buildings.
