Do you ride when it's 100+ out?

So, it's 107 in my town and don't feel like riding. Sweat almost immediately and sitting at a red light on a Harley is just plain torture.
Do you guys ride when it's 100+ degrees out? I have in the past but it's not the most enjoyable thing to do.

Later next week a cold front is coming through and I think the highs will only be in the mid-90's.

I have an 88, so the motor does not throw off as much heat. I ride in 100+ and think of February when it is 15 degrees.

when i walk out to my shop, which is 40' X 60' and open the door to get the bike out, it makes me change my mind when it's a 95 or hotter. my shop has the dark green metal roof, and it's like a huge solar collector. i prefer cooler weather, and i bet in phoenix it has to really suck during summer.
