A trip to hell and back...
 
Went for a long ride yesterday in 110F temp... Felt like I had a blow dryer on my face the whole day...

Time to store the bike for the summer

Coming home from Sturgis through Kansas last year was the hottest I've EVER been riding. It was scary hot. You literally had to stop every hour for fluids and to rest.http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...hRN/may7-1.jpg

Summer hasn't even started here and the temps. yesterday were already 120, at 10:30 in the morning. It can get up to 130 in July with 100% humidity.... That's basically 'off-season' for us... We'll sometimes ride, but only at night!!![sm=badbadbad.gif]

I spent 13 months in the south of Afghanistan. I feel your pain! I would fly 7hr missions dressed to the nines with body armor, survival vest, helmet, etc...and no air conditioning! Taking the doors off helped. Except, if felt like a giant hair dryer.

m.a.c.
