I'm a Phoenix native and I currently live in Okinawa. I ride year-round. There's no such thing as too hot.

Don't really have a "max"temp I'll go out in.

Been out 100+ weather with the leather jacket, jeans. gloves and boots.
If it's above 95 and humid I'll have my water pack.

What can I say, I'm a fair weather rider. I ride for fun. When I'm baking in my gear it's not fun.

I was in Jax last week and I saw motherfuckers still out riding in mid 90's. Most of them rode with no gear(helmet, jacket or gloves), but they were still out riding.

It's supposed to be 101 on Friday - for my trackday.... riding is riding - hydration is KEY.

I'd do that in a heartbeat, but I think that's a different story than riding on the street in terms of commuting to work for example. Most days I go to work I have to dress at minimum "business casual" It was kinda cool to arrive for our board meeting the other morning on my bike though. Another board member said "I'm so jealous, I started to ride my bike this morning" lol..

So I agree that destination is a factor, I don't want to show up at work, a funeral, a wedding, a church, sweaty and stinky:lol:

I totally agree! When I was a kid, all I had was a motorcycle, so I had little choice. It was freeze, burn, walk or take the bus. Now if it's too nasty, in any way, imo, I take the car. I always find it funny, the guys that brag about riding when it's shitty out like it's some badge of honor or something!:lol: I don't need a hydration pack thankyou, my car came with cup holders.:wink:

Hey Lon, what part of NC are you in? I drove through NC to and from FL. Western NC is probably the nicest place I've ever driven though

Exactly. And I was in NC all of last week. Odd that I didn't look you up. :lol:

:lmao: What a dick.
