I rode in the heat wave today: did you?

Wow, how funny.

I really don't consider the temperature too much when I decide to ride unless it's really cold.

It's been a heat wave since april here. I'll continue to ride in my 3 digit temps but you pussies pack up when it hits 60f for months. Snow ride or GTFO!

I pack it up when it hits 40 degrees. Too many times getting into the shower hoping to bring feeling into my balls again. Cold gas tanks FTL

In the 1950's, thick, clear-plastic seat covers were the rage. I remember as a kid riding back from the beach in the back seat. The covers were so hot, they gave a sunburn through your clothes. But that was from sitting. You have to straddle a hot motorcycle seat. That's why I wear leather pants.

Leather pants on a 95 degree day is crazy, right? Crazy like a fox. Sitting on the hottest saddle, brushing up against a hot, black, metal gas tank, or extreme heat (double the air temp) from a hot engine with leather pants is no worries. Riding with jeans would fry several sensitive areas. Leather pants FTW.

My local forecast . . . it's only going to be 100 on Friday! I might have to turn on my heated grips.

Our heatwave broke the other day, fortunatley it was only a few days, not the marathon heat you guys have been dealing with, It was 68 degrees riding in today, I thought I would need my gerbings LOL

I try to avoid riding in the high heat days but a day like today is ok since I am working a double. Leaving home at 6am and going home at 11pm it will be cool out.

No help in sight.....

I haven't ridden the motorcycle since about April or May, but I've been pedaling which...while being lighter in gear... requires considerably more physical exertion and yields less wind to cool me off.
