Oh man, I've been to Houston in the summer! It's like living on Venus! I don't see how you can stand it. It's bad enough here in Oklahoma.

Here in the Mid-Atlantic, we've had the wettest June in history, and more rain tomorrow.

Seems to rain about every other hoir here in the Ohio Valley lately. Sucks. Look for a patch of blue sky and ride for an hour. Still no guarantees you wont get wet. The other day it was sprinkling and the sky was a Robins egg blue.
Weather has been a hell of a retirement present ...grrrrr

Gentlemen,
Here in Scottsdale, AZ this weekends weather was predicted to be hot so I skipped riding and took my boat to the lake. That turned out to be a mistake as it was 118 degrees in the shade and well over 120 in the sunlight. There was no cool evaporation coming off the water and it felt like a blowtorch hitting you in the face at 40 mph. On the bike at 70 mph would be unbearable. I thought it would cool off during the night enough to ride but at 11pm last night it was still 104 degrees. There can't be too much of a difference between here and hell right now. I've lived here for 57 years and have never gotten use to AZ's summer heat.

Man, I feel for you guys in AZ. My wife and I were touring all the National Parks in UT and Az a few years ago in Sept. We stopped to visit a buddy in Mesa. It was so friggin hot. All you could do is sit in his AC, run and jump in his car with AC, go to a restaurant with AC,then go back to his house and sit in the AC. It was miserably hot outside. Can't imagine living in that environment every day for months at a time.

My uncle lived in Phoenix. He always said you had to keep your speed under 40mph or you would burst into flames.

Yeah, it's hot west of Mesa too. I noticed a lot of heat hitting my knees the last few days and it was likely under 100 when I was out riding. If I rode at the hottest part of the day (118), I can't imagine the heat that might come off the cyl heads.
Anyone else notice the heat on the knees?

Fuzzy, felt and continue to feel your pain too. Did you just roll the bike through your front door?

That sucks man. I'm dreading this heat as the A/C systems tend to overwork.
