 Been in the desert between Las Vegas and home (near Mojave) with temps above 115 on many occasion's and it is not that bad. Lots of water is needed.
Marty (110MoFo) and I were talking about this on Monday, no matter where I go I have to be in the desert to get home. And no, the bike does not like it.

I have ridden to work the last couple days... nice in the morning.... like riding in an oven on the way home.... but I was riding so I'll take it. Only concern would be if you got stuck in traffic and had the bike idle long periods of time. As long as your moving you and the bike should be alright.... maybe a little uncomfortable but alright. As was mentioned in an earlier post, hydrate, hydrate, and hydrate (with water).

When is it to hot to ride you ask? Well, when it is so hot that the "Dry Heat" burns your fingernails so bad that all you can do is stop at the first bar you come to (Even if it is skeery lookin) and sit there drinking till the sun goes down so that you can get to the nearest WalMart and buy gloves so you can continue your ride and make some of the time up which now ain't so bad 'cause now your pretty liquored up and it ain't such a bad ride after all! 120+F  8)
