117 is the hottest but it's been above 100 for 5 days now on the central coast and the air is filled with smoke but it's better than sitting in a cage!

110. Started out in the morning at only about 70 degrees. Rode about 500 miles that day and it hit 110 in the afternoon. I was no good for a couple of days. Couldn't do that 2 days in a row.

RE: Hottest Temps ridden...
Slightly o/t: From the 'afraid to ask a stupid question because this is my first Harley' category, how I will know if my Harley is overheating? I read the manual and it cautions against overheating the engine, but it doesn't say how to know the engine is actually overheating. What are the symptoms?
I've only ever ridden in 100 degree heat and back then I had a liquid-cooled F4. I've only ridden in 90 degree heat once with my Low Rider.
