Wow, we only get a few days a year that hot. On those days we ride early in the morning and late in the evening and avoid the heat of the day.

Here in North Carolina during August it can be 100* with 90% humidity...kinda makes you want to do a "Ricky Bobby"-tear your clothes off and run around yelling " I'm on fire!"

Yes summer in NC can test one's commitment to ATGATT. The worst is sitting at a stoplight with a long cycle time and when the light finally changes watching morons leave 15 car lengths between themselves and the car ahead. Sitting in the line knowing you aren't gong to make it in time. Arghh. Almost makes you wish you were a Northerner so you could lay on the horn.

U ain't felt humidity till U have been to Louisiana pretty much anyday in August. Part of the problem of August/September in Louisiana is U are dam tired of that much humidity from May thru Septemeber and then there R the Love Bugs which we are in the middle of the first season as I write. Thank you Lord i have a log cabin in Arkansas where it may get to 110 in August but it is a dry heat! LOL!

Or a Californian, so you can split through the lanes. I split those lanes in Cali. for the first time last summer. We did not understand exactly what was legal and we started spliting lanes in any lane we might happen to be in. luckliy we figured out this was insane and not legal at all before we ever go stopped by the Fuzz!
