..take out and lightly wring out (just so it isn't dripping, but you want it heavy.

Put on leather or mesh pants, t shirt, boots. Start bike, put on wet sweatshirt, and mesh or leather jacket over top.

Go riding...if leather jacket, unzip chest vents and stay cool 4-6 hrs depending on how fast you are going even in 100+days with high (today 89%) humidity.

At one point when I was on the freeway, I had to partially zip chest vents as I was chilly..........
If it's hot out, why dip the shirt in WARM water?

because putting it on after it's been in cold water will make your nips stand up.
