Dear Lisa,
Thank-you for your helpful suggestions. As a matter of fact, I was wearing 
draggin' jeans, too, but over them I had on the Triumph black cordura riding 
pants, which breathe a little, but certainly retain heat, and are not vented. 
However my complaint was actual burning pain from the hot air blast on the 
underside of my thighs, and if it were not for the insulating effect of the 
riding pants, I think it would have been worse. Armoured pants with hip pads 
have served me well in a couple of low speed get-offs, and I feel naked 
without them. I have been through similar heat, similarly attired, on my 
unfaired '79 Bonneville, and '96 KLR 650, and even my '95 Trophy 1200 
wiothout the searing i received on the ST. Dave
