Default Damn it's hot!

Went on a 300 mile PGR mission today in 100+ temps. Coming off the highway and stopping at a light it took less than 10 seconds for the ETIMS to kick in. Des this happen in these temps for anyone else this quickly?

Ride safe and stay hydrated.

Man, I took my ride out this morning to get the bike inspected. It was 100 plus today. It was cool until I stopped at a red light. Nah, I rather sit in my garage, drinking a cold one and a shot of Gentlemen's Jack listening to Skynard and admiring my new baby.

I'm with ya! 105 here today, took the bike out at 11:00 am for gas. About 15 minutes and was way too hot! So have been in the garage sipping' on a few brewskies thinking of what I'm going to do to the sled next. I'll ride when it's hot but this is ridiculous!

About 105 here and went out around noon for a 3 hour cruise. No EITMS even when stopped for lights etc. (Dyno tuned and running open loop)

Best thing about the 105 degree outside temp is that you really don't notice how hot the engine is anymore.

Heat is what you make if it, I work in a open work environment in north Carolina so I'm somewhat used too the heat. Stay hydrated and keep going, sure it's hot but far from unbearable. Moving at 104 in the wind or working in it, riding wins
