My hottest ride so far!!!

[ROJO]

It was a toasty 97 degrees (105 heat index) here in St. Louis, MO. I missed most of the traffic but it was HOT as hell. I will be leaving her parked tomorrow. It just wasn't much fun.

Buells are not the best during the heat, plus if wear your gear like one should it makes it even worse.

I know how you feel ROJO. I live in Springfield, MO and we were just as hot as STL. Sucks.

During my buellparts.net commercial shoot, we rode in 105 degree heat. Yeah that was fun.

I did the ERC class here in Phoenix out at Luke AFB, in August 2007, Still Air, had to be 112-115 in the shade, I have no idea what it was out on the Concrete. I was suffering from heat exhaustion, nearly passed out on the bike pulled out of the exercises, had to rest and rehydrate. Idling the bike around the course at 15-20 most of the day, Heat rising off up off the rear cylinder and into my face was unbearable, not my Idea of fun. Gear was all completely soaked, helmet was slimy, my mess jacket was wet. the bike was overheated and pinging pretty bad until I got back out on the road to get airflow over the cylinders, and cool everything off.

I really feel your pain.
