Weather finally broke the 60-degree barrier today, here in northern Midwest, which has been a rare occasion since taking ownership of the G80. If the temps are above 45-degrees - which has been occurring pretty regularly by midday - I go out and treat the rubber to some road.
Been pushing the machine as hard as the roadways safely allow and - as typically seems to be the case - it has really come into its own by the time you bust that 1,000-mile marker. . . 1,200 miles service tomorrow.
The temperature reference above was interlude to an aspect of machine operation that is really important when it comes to performance. As ambient and roadside temperatures increase, so does a vehicles performance.
Much more than the tire rubber heating up and getting a bit ‘tacky’ with the pavement. The entire machine livens up a few notches. 60-degrees better than 45, and 80-degrees better than 60.
So, tomorrow, the G80 will get some fresh fluids and the temps supposed to bump up in the 70’s . . . I anticipate some serious driving enjoyment will occur as the weekend approaches.
