100* + in FLA with 100% humidity... yea !!! Can't wait for October !!!!
Most of my riding is after the sun goes down !!!
That's the bad thing. Its only getting down to 80 tonight. At 9pm it was 90 with 75% humidity. Thank god for AC.
I'm feeling you over here in KC too. Just a brutal summer. I mean the humidity just won't stop. Miserable. Where is 88 degrees and 50% humidity when you need it....? :-|
They are talking about a "heat dome" positioning itself over major parts of the U.S. from now and through the weekend.
And I have a Poker run that is probably going to sap all of my energy this Saturday... :shhh:
Speaking of heat... and motorcycles... and sweating.... I made a discovery of sorts a couple of days ago, it was sort of "embarrassing" after it was pointed out to me. :icon_redface:
Seems that we all sweat in the saddle while riding in these summer temperatures. I had rode for a couple of hours last weekend and then decided to pull into a local watering hole for a beverage. Getting off my bike and then into the establishment; the friendly barmaid asked me "why are your jeans all wet"? and I replied "what do you mean?" and she said that "you look like you wet your pants" and sure enough when I looked at the reflection of my backside; my fades jeans were completely wet :shock:
Now I have developed a case of self consciousness each time I get off my bike after a run in these temps, and can't quite figure out how to deal with it.
I live in Ofallon, MO and it has been brutal this year. I am trying to wear my gear on the way to and from work.
The Dainese mesh really flows air way better than my other mesh gear.
I tried my old Scorpion mesh jacket yesterday for a change and about passed out on the way home. The Dainese is way better!!!
I bought a Dainese Air Frame Jacket
