Mid to High 90's here with 60-80% humidity for the last few weeks.
Makes me not want to eat and want to sleep. You just go outside for a few minutes and you sweat...don't have to do anything.

I make sure I always have plenty to drink. Don't ride as much except in the evening and night. Have to watch out for deer and o'possums.

Everybody take care during the heat. Get plenty to drink. Don't do too much without a break to cool down some.

87 LS650, 2005 Ninja 250, 2009 Yamaha C3, 2001 Honda Reflex. On 2 wheels since 6/80.

I know folks will think this is BS, but it's true
over 99 wind chill works in reverse. if you have a longer ride and not a lot of red lights you'll actually be cooler in leather, gloved up, full face helmet (of course you'll bake at long lights) it keeps the wind off of you
I didn't believe it either, 'till I actually tried it myself
still gotta hydrate though, hot is hot

Well, it is going to be cooler today. It is only supposed to get to 97 with a heat index of 111. I don't know what the heat index was yesterday. Like Justin says, drink water and stay hydrated. Be safe and thump on.

I wear long sleeves and a t shirt and a hunk of t shirt over the head, down to the shoulders, everything wet.. the guys on the drilling rigs I worked on thought I was nuts.. I was a lot cooler than they were..

I have a variation of that T shirt trick: I put the Tee on, then pull it part of the way back off, so the neck hole is around my hairline, sleeves hanging down the sides of my face, tail down the back Works great off the bike, but you need the wind blocked when it's 100+
LOA didn't have a full face helmet Grin

(or any helmet, or leathers, IIRC) Shocked
