It is well into the 90's here in MA this week. Peaked above 100 yesterday. Just can't bring myself to put a jacket on so I've been taking the air conditioned cage to work.

Well living in Texas it tends to be above 90 and high humidity for 5-7 months out of the year so I wouldn't get much riding done if I didn't suit up and go. A little sweat never hurt anybody. I just stay hydrated and all good. :rockon:
Same goes for south Louisiana. I don't mind the heat, but it's been raining here everyday for the last 2-3 weeks. I'm scared to take the bike to work cause I don't want to get caught in a afternoon down pour.
Well, me being on the other side of the World, today I did my commute riding below freezing point, had to wait till a bit late in the morning to avoid any possible ice on the streets.
Last week I was in Tempe, Arizona. It was something like 118 °F on Thursday. Nice air conditioning Toyota Camry!
anything over 90.. i just end up in the car.... anyhting over 80 is a toss up between the leather jacket or a vest.. not the smartest i know, but when its that hot, sometimes you just have to do it..
Anyone know how dirt gear would compare to a good jacket/pants? I may be kidding myself, but I felt the protection was comparable. Perhapse even better impact protection, though maybe more of a risk of rash depending on the mechanics of the crash.
I used to be an overly responsible rider, but now as I'm getting older, some squidliness seems to be leaking out of me. Maybe I'm just getting near my midlife crisis, and since I can't afford a porsche... .
