Eff that. There's a reason I live where I do: I'm not designed for hot climates

It's because you are already HOT!

Its different being covered in light cotton, an another being covered in a helmet, jeans, boots and a jacket

I am going to arab route now, no more skimpy clothes when the sun is out, it really does make it so much hotter with the sun beating down when your skin is not covered.

That's what I was talking about. The heat off my headers doesnt help either.

Just got back from a short 100 mile ride to Pahrump, land of legal prostitution

I didn't leave the house until the sun started to go away, but it was still 106 degrees when I left. Its about 93 now, but man it was stifling outside. Changing elevations was fun, esp on my way home when it was dark...<rolleyes> Shivering on top, sweating at the bottom, rinse repeat

At these temps, its going to be sporadic night time riding until the summer is over At least I didn't pass out, I think I am getting better with the heat out here
