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. >:(

When is it too cold to ride?  huh?  as long as there is no snow on the ground then the temperature is just right.

I don't much care how hot it is, if I can ride I ride, my wife gives me grief because I wait till the hottest part of the day to cut my grass, the heat does not bother me much. Drink a lot of H20.

Dry heat is a lot different than humid and hot. Can handle higher temps when the humidity is low. Highest I ever rode in was when air temp gauge said 120 on the road, but would not knowing do that again, especially with the heat thrown off by the 110 engine, which is worse than the 2005 SEEG 103 I traded to get the 110. :-\

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...
