It may not be the heat...

I've noticed a lack of noticing sport motorcyclists tearing up and down my street in the dead of night.  They've been common in other summers, but not so much this one.  I attributed it to the heat, but if I'd actually thought about it, I'd realize that's silly -- it's always cooler when they ride.

Today, the local ABC affiliate has a possibly related headline:

Sports Motorcycle Thefts Surge

Hmm, so THAT'S why it's quiet....
