I went to New Braunfels, TX for breakfast last Saturday. I parked in the sun, ate and visited with my friends for about one hour. I was parked on an incline, had set the parking brake, which worked great. I came out, got on BR1, fired him up but noticed he did not start the first time I hit the starter button...this is unlike him. On the second try, he started and away I went. After about 100 yards, the orange screen came on and "check engine" came on and off, on and off.... BR1 ran well, no missing, etc. I knew it was hot and looked at my temp gauge..113!
I told Red, I ain't stopping in the middle of no where, you have oil as I checked it and we are going to keep going until you cool down....after two or three miles, my temp gauge went down to 107 and stayed there. After five miles, no more "check engine" and I rode the rest of the fifty miles without incident.
Never had this before in my 3,900 miles and could only think of two things that may have caused this. I was parked on an incline affected the oil level or ?? Or it was hot...and the tarmac could have been 130+ and BR1 got upset.
I rode him 120 miles yesterday with no problem...he ran like a hose....good boy....:clap:

That could sure make for an interesting conversation at the AutoParts store...
