I really don't consider the temperature too much when I decide to ride unless it's really cold.

It's been a heat wave since april here. I'll continue to ride in my 3 digit temps but you pussies pack up when it hits 60f for months. Snow ride or GTFO!

I pack it up when it hits 40 degrees. Too many times getting into the shower hoping to bring feeling into my balls again. Cold gas tanks FTL

Leather pants on a 95 degree day is crazy, right? Crazy like a fox. Sitting on the hottest saddle, brushing up against a hot, black, metal gas tank, or extreme heat (double the air temp) from a hot engine with leather pants is no worries. Riding with jeans would fry several sensitive areas. Leather pants FTW. |

My local forecast . . . it's only going to be 100 on Friday! I might have to turn on my heated grips.

I try to avoid riding in the high heat days but a day like today is ok since I am working a double. Leaving home at 6am and going home at 11pm it will be cool out. |

I haven't ridden the motorcycle since about April or May, but I've been pedaling which...while being lighter in gear... requires considerably more physical exertion and yields less wind to cool me off.
