It's too hot to ride when your bike won't roll because either yer tires or yer boots are melted to the asphalt.

"It's too hot to ride" when the rattlesnakes are curled up in the shade under your bike, and they won't let you near it!

When you come out from a nice lunch and your kickstand has sunk an inch or so into the asphalt, it may be too hot.

Whats all this whining about heat!!!  I lived in Qatar and Kuwait.  The only time it is too hot to ride is when the devil ask you for a bag of ice.

I was cutting it off at 105F, which means an on-highway temperature of about 120F, but recently bought a Harley evaporation/cooling vest, and can survive up to 110F...yeah, it's a dry heat out here........

105 is about the limit before I go into "tough guy mode"... That consists of stopping every 30 minutes to fill your helmet with water, hook up a garden hose and spray your T-shirt and jeans, then go another 30 minutes, LOL...

That's what I always do dood.  This weekend up at Moosehead lake, ME, the conversation went to  "it's too hot to ride".  My reply was that if it isn't raining or snowing it's ok to ride.

What next?
When is it too cold to ride? :oops:
I guess some people only ride when it's 72 to 80 degrees.
I don't care what the temp is if I want to ride I do, if not I don't. >:(
