Riding Temps

Yeah wind chill.I wish they never had come up with that crap.Anyway,it says "temperature". If it's 30 degrees outside and I'm going 90 mph,it's STILL 30 degrees outside.

I find it interesting that it heats up the faster you go once you get above that 90* mark. There's plenty of days like that down here in the summer. No wonder it feels like you're riding through a blast furnace.

Wind chill and tempature are not the same thing. Wind chill is a made up scale to indicate approximately how fast you will cool off. The greater the breeze the faster you will lose heat; or gain heat if the ambient tempature is above your body tempature. Even if you are doing 100mph on a day that it is 50F though the surface temp of your helmet will still not drop below 50F.

Wow...30° at 65mph is -9°??? No wonder I froze to death last January when I rode 70 miles to Dallas.

Well, in Florida humidity has lots to do with how warm it feels.
