I just came back from a meeting with my field techs that was scheduled for 1:00 PM. On the way back it was 105 in the sun. I don't know how anyone else feels about riding in that temp, but it was not enjoyable. :cryin:cryin Even with a Joe Rocket mesh jacket at was unbearable.
105 degrees, YUK

I'm in phoenix and I stopped riding the bike to work last week. You know it's bad when you leave for work at 6:30am and the temp in the shade is already 90+ degrees. The last day I rode to work, it was 113 on my way home. It felt like I was driving through an oven.
My parents also ride (harleys) and they use a "chill vest" when they ride in the summer. It is a pretty cool device. You soak this vest in water for 10 minutes or so and then ring it out. You put it on under a mesh jacket so it has good air flow. It uses evaporation to cool you. I tried it out last Sunday when it was like 111 degrees and it kept me pretty cool. When I took it off my skin was cold to the touch. The only thing that doesn't change is the air temp that is being forced into your helmet. It gets tough to breath that for long periods of time.
I will probably look into getting one of those chill vests for myself so I can get some early morning rides in and get back before it gets stupid hot.

The heat is kiling me too and the bike is in the box for now. Today was 40 deg. C around 115-120 F and at one point I was thinking to park beside the road and take a cab. And now it's confirmed we (Balkan region) are becoming sub tropical climate only summer and rain season.
The best time to ride is the autumn perfect weather around 25 C and weak traffic can't wait for September and october :riding
But from the other side the girls here like the heat :boobies and if you don't know we have the best looking womans taking into account the brazilians too. So there is huge problem with target fixation too :sing:

I live in the high desert, it is always 90+ and usually 100+ and I ride all the time...just put a camelbak on and make sure that you drink the water. Now I can understand the dry hot air...it gets like that every once in a while and that sucks...but even then the sweat will make the air cool you off...
