Overheating in spring riding

[barefooter]

This may be a dumb question, but why all the trouble with guys overheating in spring riding?

That was one of the things that attracted me to bikes. Most of my riding is done in the spring just because of work schedules. So have I naively thought that having the rads up front would help - not hurt - maintain consistent temps over sleds?

I have a heater collar on my carb that I have put a shut-off valve on. That was the only thing I noticed last year that my carb was getting a little hot?

We never said it was easy, just that it looked cool.
