And with hydraulic brakes i know you are not supposed to hang the bike upside down, but what about laying down on it's side for almost 24 hours?
I go to a week-long work conference in Orange Beach/Gulf Shores AL every summer in June. The last two years I've taken my bike and left it in the bed of my truck all week (lockable hard tonneau cover and tailgate...with a couple of cable locks ran through frame and bed ties downs "just in case"). The amount of heat related issues I've had to deal with? Zero.
