Rode almost 200 miles today in over 100 degree heat here in SoCal. Got home and realized I had fried my right innner thigh.( third degree burns with huge blisters.)  \\;Obviously had contact with something on that side of the bike \\; that got really really hot. I didnt realize what was happening because I was so mirerable and hot all over my body. Wonder if any one else has this problem and how to correct/fix it. Ridng with my legs further out from the side of the bike will not work as I am 5'1" with 25 inch inseam.
yeah i got pretty burned today going from vegas to laughlin and back. \\; not like the burning you had, but that damn sun. \\; and i was wearing spf 75 sunscreen.
 \\;
that heat sure wears you out too. \\; i'm planning on going from vegas to seattle in about a month or two and i really hope to get out of the heat quick!
Got home about a week ago from work, took off my chaps, needed to move the bike climbed on with shorts, ( had chaps on over shorts ) right calf branded by exhaust, won't forget that for a long time.
