I feel your pain. It was hot this morning at 8. Even the air at 60 mph is hot.

That is why I'm riding my Wing the last couple
of days and I'll be riding my Wing this weekend
in the mountains. The Ultra can sit at home and
rest...LOL"
&nbsp\\;
if it gets over 100 degrees I may ride the wife's
650 Suzuki Bergman scooter for a few days..

Come on guys, this is the weather I love to ride in.&nbsp\\; Not a single nip in the air no matter how fast you are riding.&nbsp\\; And as long as you are moving along, the bike doesn't overheat and neither do you.&nbsp\\; Great T-shirt weather.&nbsp\\; Now, I guess if you are the type that feels the need to leather up and where a full helmet&nbsp\\;no matter how hot it is, I imagine it would be quite uncomfortable.

Rode to work every day for the ast two weeks, Charlotte to Mooresville.&nbsp\\; But then the A/C in my truck quit working and the driver's side window doesn't work, it'll go down but then I can't get it back up.&nbsp\\; So I figured the RK was the better choice.&nbsp\\; I finally did take the truck in for the A/C repair yesterday, we'll see what that costs.

I am here in NC visiting from Texas.Its going to be a hot weekend.

I wear a perforated leather jacket and I also wear a FFH for longer trips. Moving is no problem, I just flip the lid a bit on the helmet and I get a nice turbo breeze in my helmet, actualy more comfortable than no helmet. Perforate jacket also keep me cool providing I am moving........heat dont bother me too much. Worst part is a sweaty crutch.
