So, it's 107 in my town and don't feel like riding. Sweat almost immediately and sitting at a red light on a Harley is just plain torture.
Do you guys ride when it's 100+ degrees out? I have in the past but it's not the most enjoyable thing to do.

 

It's been in upper-90's and up to 100° here in S. LA for two weeks with little rain, and I'm tired of it already. When it's 100° the heat index is 107° or higher and I don't ride unless I need to go somewhere close. I was riding back from a friends tonight at 8pm and it was 94°. Later next week a cold front is coming through and I think the highs will only be in the mid-90's.

 

I have an 88, so the motor does not throw off as much heat. I ride in 100+ and think of February when it is 15 degrees.

lol. yer spoiled!!!! i have ridden in those temps on road trips & love it but up here in the great white north we don't see a lot of that.....

 

Not if I can help it..100+ its either the boat or the recliner...:>)

 

when i walk out to my shop, which is 40' X 60' and open the door to get the bike out, it makes me change my mind when it's a 95 or hotter. my shop has the dark green metal roof, and it's like a huge solar collector. i prefer cooler weather, and i bet in phoenix it has to really suck during summer.

 

We don't usually get that warm here but if we did i'd probably only do short jaunts with the half helmet on.

 

More beer! Ha Ha Lots of water!
