Don't exhausts get very hot?

Got home from work this morning, removed my gloves so I could open the gate to get in, dropped my gloves, bent down to pick them up, brushed the back of my hand against the exhaust.

I remember

many moons ago had just been popping to the local shop so I couldn't be ersed looking for my gloves.
Dropped the superdream 400 on an icy junction. When I picked myself up I was so embarassed I could only think of getting the bike upright and getting away. Picked the bloody thing up by one of the downpipes didn't I.

Entire inside of my right hand was blistered for ages.

Some stupid woman walking her toddlers on her way to school the one morning let one of they walk much too close to my bike, about 5 minutes after I'd come back from a ride-out.
She probably thought me yelling "Watch out, my bike is hot" out of my bedroom window was offensive, but better than letting her stupid kid get burnt.

Amusing Tale

A mate of mine lived where there were several dogs and one in particular used to chase the bike down the road barking its silly head off and trying to bite his feet, it nearly had him off a couple of times too.
One day he made sure that the dog was about and let his bike warm up a little bit more than usual and off he went, sure enough out came the dog barking like mad and snapping at his feet, so he slowed right down and stopped got off the bike bent down and patted his knees and the stupid dog of course just wagged its tail and came up to him, when it was in reach he grabbed the dogs muzzle/nose walked to the back of the bike an shoved his nose right up the exhaust,the dog yelped and ran off.
Problem sorted - the bloody thing never did it again!

I once parked up the Barge just outside a cafe and was in the queue waiting to be served when along came a little nipper who decided he wanted to use the exhaust as a climbing frame.......................
Having rushed to help him, his Chav parents then decided to have a go at me :dunno:

A self inflicted burn story, but not bike related..

When I was a kid of about 9 we had an oil stove thing in the bathroom ( no such thing as central heating then, at least not for the common man :p ! )..
I had got out of the bath and started to dry myself.
Half way through I dropped the towel and bent to pick it up.
My bum touched the hot bars and I shot forward at a great rate of knots..
So fast in fact that when my head came into contact with the bathroom door it went straight through it ..

Fafa was NOT best pleased to say the least, but it did galvanise him into making a sort of metal lobster pot affair that went over the top of the heater and stopped any further instances of red hot bum syndrome !

And I just remembered the maker of the heater.. It was a Valor oil fired convector heater..
Anyone else remember those things ?
