Quote from: larry_357 on July 24, 2011, 10:30:22 AM A hot day of riding is better than sitting at home doing nothing just stay hydrated Who says you have to sit at home and do nothing???I ride 3-4 times a week.......I just make a point of getting home before noon. IMHO.........A "hot day of riding" is just that, a "hot day of riding" which to me is a pain in Cranberries and no fun......... weather your hydrated or not. Riding in 100 degree heat is like having a hair dryer in your face all day. These days I don't like riding motorcycles so much as to be miserable on them. Besides....... riding when your exhausted from sweating all day, can impair your judgement. That's not a good thing on a bike. I've seen it happen to others and to myself. Maybe I'm just more sensitive to heat than others. I know it's gotten worse as I've gotten older. Just don't have the tolerance for it anymore like I use to. I remember dirt bike racing hair scrambles and enduros in the heat. At the end of the race you literally fall off the bike and your delirious.
