Living where I do it can get pretty warm. As an example today is forecasted to be 106F/41C and for me thats just a bit much for a comfortable ride. Does it matter to you?

I also am not sure if it's a great environment for an air cooled motor as well.

There's never a day in Scotland where I would say it's too hot to ride lol. Finding a day when it's dry enough may be an issue though.

Wish I had that problem here. That way we could all use our water without the guilt.

We don't get temps of that kind here, but some days it can be really hot and sticky and I just can't stand the thought of putting my kit on! I agree that the air cooled motor gets pretty hot and we haven't even had really hot weather yet .. although they are hinting at some kind of 'heatwave' next week! I may even take my thermal lining out!!

A few years ago I went to France on my Blade. One day I spent all day riding in temps of 43C and I was in a full, one piece set of leathers.

When I was moving it was great. When I stopped I just melted.

I stop riding when my motorcycle starts to ping. That happens at about 110F with my Kawasaki

50 c high and 38 low. Humidity is pretty high this time of the year. This lasts for about 5 months. Mesh helps

I always carry 2 of these neck koolers in a couple zip tight plastic bags.


Evaporative Cooling Bandanas IndustrialSafetyGear.com

If it gets hot, I wear one and soak the other, then alternate them when at a stop.

If I am expecting really hot weather, I bring my cooling vest and a wide mouth camelback bladder.

I fill the bladder with ice a the soda dispensary machines then top it off with water.

I wear it in the backpad pocket of my mesh jacket. It has a pinch tube that I can drink from or dribble more water on me, while I ride

That'a good tip about soaking a neck cooler, even a light bandana for the back of the neck. I read somwhere there is a 'sensor'' in the neck controling blood temp to the brain.
That's why I soak my socks. Boom boom.

It's winter here now (0-10 C at night, 15-25 daytime), but the hottest I've had is 44 C (111 F). That was getting a bit warm, but it's a dry heat here.

I'm in Arizona. It's brutal. I can only ride from 5am-9am at the latest until the ride becomes unenjoyable due to the heat. Today's high is 106 F. It regularly gets up to 110-115 F in AZ.

I'm glad its just not me. Today is forecast again to be 106F so I am thinking either a late night or early morning ride is in my future as well.

Where are you located? Not too many other places that get that hot...

The handy dandy temp gauge on my Classic showed 104 deg yesterday. I think that's enough for me. Need to be done before 3-4 PM

Well after reading some of those posts about not being able to ride because of high temperatures

I'm feeling much better about our climate , at least in the UK most are able to ride throughout the year, maybe a little cold and a little wet at times But I think I'd hate it being too hot to ride the bike,:toothy2:
