    If you actually start-up the bike, put the bike in gear and roll it down that asphalt, while sitting on it (the bike, not the asphalt), I guarantee there will be a breeze.:roflmao:

    Bit different here and that is if we don't ride in the rain and cooler weather than we don't ride much either. I love riding in the temps when they are in the 60's or low 70's. We call it beach weather. :D

    Course that riding we did back east was enough hi temp, hi humidity for me for the rest of the year.

    If'n ya come out of that building and worked in the sun most of the day.
    When ya got off you'd be wantin to take a cold shower and go and sit in the air conditioner and cool off for a while.

    Especially when were having a drought with over 50 days with 100 * weather.
    We've had about a inch of rain in like 3 months.

    If you are going to ride the entire riding season in Minnesota you have to be willing to ride from 35-105 deg. And for my 2 cents worth 105 is better than 35.

    Red's right, don't matter the temps, it was 93 in Pueblo yesterday morning at 10:00, near a 100 by the time we was leaving to come home, but it was great, sure beat having to wear the heated gear that we wear in the winter so we can keep riding, I think they make stuff to keep you cool for hot weather riding. Riders ride others just talk about it.

    Even though it was very hot and humid on my trip back east I really enjoyed the trip and riding. Got a little uncomfortable at times dealing with the pain towards the end but what I will remember is the good times. My friend Steve who was with me is taking off Monday for AZ, sure wished I was headed out with him again.
    Gets warm everywhere in the summer months but got to agree its a heck of a lot better than putting all that heated gear on in the winter month.
