Default Hot Days and the EVO

Do you think running and EVO on days where the temp hits above 100F is a problem? Are there any temperatures at which you keep the bike at home?

"No" and "Haven't found one yet".

I lose enough riding time due to winter. I'm not going to lose any due to heat.

There are times I don't ride with temps that high.

However it's more for me than the bike.

There have been a good many times I have ridden at 100 temps. It's been tougher on me than the bike.

I've only ridden at or over 100 a few times, but no I don't keep the bike at home. The bike will be fine, it's only the rider who may melt!

Sustained high speed may be a problem.

In my younger days 100 plus was no problem. At 75 years old and can ride when I want to I go early in the day. Can't stand feeling like a hundred hair dryers blowing on me anymore. You guys will get there.
