I would run my Custom into the shop, put it on the lift, TURN ON THE AC in the shop, and get out the polish..LOL..
&nbsp\\;
I'm not a big wash an wax kinda guy, I ride everyday early early spring till late late fall..no matter rain shine&nbsp\\; but older I get, the more I hate the heat.. Lost a lung a few years back.. just can't seem to catch my breath when it's that hot.... I clean up the scooter, detail it when I first get it out in the spring.. If it see's another wash that season&nbsp\\;chances are&nbsp\\;somebody else did it for me.. LOL
I think I would actually do it again that season if it hit 113...
Blessings

ORIGINAL: freebyrd


i think they should make a helmet with a layer of blue ice in it that you keep in the freezer and through it on in the morning for a cool ride
freebyrd

What a great idea! Replace all that concussion preventing cushion material with an ice cold ROCK.
Why didn't someone think of that before?

Here in coastal Orange Co., So Cal, it doesn't get that hot, but at my sister/BIL's place in Hesperia (high desert) it's easily 105 every day July-September. Only ride out there in the fall. Even at the office in Monterey Park, it's hot now and I rode the Sporty in today and am going out for lunch soon. Long-sleeved T-shirt, boots/jeans,&nbsp\\;and silver full-face with the shield up.
