How hot does it have to be to leave your bike in the garage, I know the southern States
( lived in texas for 15 years) will laugh but about 90 degrees i hang it up, just not fun for me anymore

 

I wouldn't leave the bike in the garage but what I try to avoid is city traffic when it's 80F and above. The rear cylinder shuts off after 2 or 3 traffic lights which tells me that the front cylinder head reaches 285F very quickly.
Not fun to sweat on a bike for sure and my passenger ain't a happy camper when her ankles bake.
We'd much rather ride outside of the city on country roads where it's breezy and comfy. Unfortunately, sometimes we cannot avoid the city and its traffic.

 

90 haha 115 is my max i have ridden in 105 and lower i ride 80 miles daily. but our humidity
is 3-5% when it gets that hot

 

Got to agree on the city stop and go heat issue. We just got back form a trip to Savanna, Ga from central Ms., 1500 mls total, and did some of the 90 deg. plus stop and go. We added the Bakerbuilt air wings before the the trip and they really help. Being able to direct the air flow twds. the rear cylinder dropped the heat on the wife's feet to a tolarable level and made the trip alot better for both of us. We ride an 09 ultra also.

 

Well, I live in central TX, so if I don't ride in the heat, I miss out on about 4 monts of riding a year. Yesterday's high was 97, and we got home about 4:00. I had on a long sleeve t shirt to protect from the sun, but nothing protects from the heat. Came home and took a nap, LOL.

 

Spent a lot of midwest miles where 90 and high humidity = sauna. Living in desert now, ride through 110 some areas where humidity may be down low but the AZ or NV sun feels like someone is using a heat gun to strip the skin off my arm. (have learned light weight long sleeve white t's are a good thing in extreme heat).

I like the heat more then the chill........have not found too hot yet. 75 - 80 and cool breeze might be the best, but still prefer heat over cold.

 

There's no such thing as "too hot" to ride. I live in Phoenix and have ridden in 119 degrees. No, it wasn't pleasant, but was tolerable as long as you kept moving.

 

No, technically there's no such thing as too hot to ride to stay alive or to keep the bike running, etc., etc., but I ride because it is enjoyable to me. I remember riding one day last year (haven't experienced it yet this year) with my 6" windshield along the Georgia coast thinking man I wish I was home in the AC. Riding at 75 MPH with hot air blowing in your face is a miserable experience. Yes it does get too hot to ride.

 

Don't mind 40s or 50s but 90s and above comfort is gone but I still ride in both conditions equally.

 

The heat is a killer. All you can do is minimize it or avoid it all together. I wear light colored shirts and skull rag. A helmet cuts the air off but provides insulation. The temp gauge on my bike reached 115 today. Not sure how accurate that is but it felt like it. Ridding at 70mph is like being in a clothes dryer, you don’t sweat. You just dry out. Drink lots of water and take some ac breaks.
