How hot is too hot for you? - Page 2

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.

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!

I don't need a hydration pack thankyou, my car came with cup holders.

I ride home every day in the mid 80's with mississippi humidity. No issues. Haven't seen a day yet too hot to ride... Just no place to ride to in ms.

I commute to work on my bike and the mornings are not that bad, the ride home has not been bad as of yet but that's because of the rain we've had on the way home. I don't mind arriving home from work sweaty, just don't want to arrive to work wet or sweaty.

I hear ya... I'm lucky that I change at work and have showers there if I need'm... but it's only like 70 or so when I go to work... so I don't even sweat... riding home I sweat a lot... a lot more traffic too...

I do well in the heat though... always have...

Its never really 'too hot' to ride, its only a matter of how much water you take with you and how frequently you stop to rehydrate...

Not that you know of anyway!

She's no Stoner or Bayliss either but has still managed to shrink her chicken strips pretty well.

I don't see any issue with lowering the bike. My only concern would be the handling of it after it being lowered. I suppose if done properly you wouldn't know the difference. I'm all about feeling comfortable on the bike. Mine is pretty tall too and in my riding boots I look like a ballerina on my tippy toes.

I can't do heat. High 20's and I'm using the car with AC cranked.
