Same here, its getting to the point where its too hot to ride when the sun is out. But i also realize that I have awful night vision...Luckily its been in the 90's so far but heck even that is hot...105 this weekend so I will try to squeeze in a ride but any hotter I am waiting until the fall.

Time to park the bike until the fall. I rather ride with heated gear. I'm all about adjustable comfort settings.

BTW 86 degrees is not hot!

86 to me is almost unbearable. 100 would have me wanting to shoot myself in the face. Super serious. The only way I can stand anything around 86-90 is to ride in a t-shirt a long the coast line.

Don't ever, ever go to Kuwait or Iraq then. You'd probably burst into flames at 120+. I was used to it, and I still felt like I'd catch fire at any given moment.

I have no intentions so not to worry, but I got a feeling where I go in the afterlife will be on the warm side though so I should prepare
