P1000 what are you guys doing for ambient temp gauge?

[steve_whiteside]

Id at least like ambient air temperature and I'm even thinking of engine water temp. Any ideas?

Kind of surprised our dash doesn't have an ambient air temp display.

Just curious ...... WHY you need to know the air temp while riding the SxS?

Haha good question! Some people would be good with the old fashion way of feeling it with their faces! However, for me, I want bragging rights. For instance, I was camping out of the buggy the night before last in the mountains. My thought to myself was, "It was cold as sh*t last night I wonder how cold it was?!" I have a temp gauge on my motorcycles and find it interesting as the weather hits extremes. WRT the engine temperature Id like a bit more data than the 4 bar, bar graph. My fall back is one of those 12v plugin gizmos like Rick has.

Happy new year to all.

I like to know the air temp, it's a data point.

In the shade, after a 150 mile Utah backcountry motorcycle ride - a bit much for my ole retired butt.

Ouch! That would be some sweaty feet and some red faces!

It was a foolish ole man putting himself in a bad place, all for the love of the desert. It made me realize I need to find another form of transportation if I want to continue to enjoy exploring the desert. The Talon will be the perfect 'next step' for me.

It also taught me the desert is a very seasonal love - too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer. (DUH)
