When do you STOP riding, due to heat?

We've been fortunate this summer... it's only been 100+ for less then 1 month... normally it's like that all summer.... :h20:

I work in a hot ass environment, heat is almost an enjoyment to me now. :dthumb:

I do hate how heat robs so much power from the bike though. With such little weight and revvy an engine the power robbed from the engine is very noticable.
It's a lot faster riding home in the cooler night than it is riding in about noon. :cursin:

I rode last week when it was 100-ish; heat index was 115. When moving, it was okay, but not moving? Felt like I was sitting in an oven. I'd say that's about the most heat I could tolerate....

I hate working in the heat But if it is that hot I just go without my jacket. and is only time i dont have one on.

This has been discussed elsewhere (Back_marker actually made some good points on this, I believe), but it's actually a myth that you'll be cooler without your jacket. There's a long explanation for it, but you're actually going to keep your body temp lower with your jacket on than with exposed skin (also, exposed skin loses moisture faster, which leads to dehydration).

:withstupi when it gets to 100+ I'll stop.

Even if it gets to 115 here.. I'll still commute to work it.. The HOV lane save me 30 mins both ways... I'll deal with the heat.. to save on time.

Its been in th upped 90's and that doesnt stop me and I wear full gear all the time. It may bet a little hot in the jacket, but its not bad when you are moving.

Yeah but science and seat of the pants deal are different. I FEEL cooler without the jacket and thats really all it comes down to. It may be less dehydriating and stressful on my body to wear the stuff but it sure as hell doesnt FEEL that way. Since im not assaulting a village in Iraq i'll take the FEEL DEAL any day:lol:

Very true... very true... (Personally I was surprised by it, but it's interesting nonetheless).

(and that last part is great out-of-context-quote material... :lol

The last time I thought it was too hot for a jacket I lowsided. The weeks of rash were pretty hot also (indoors and out). So I go with the minimum on days like this. Jeans and mesh jacket.

If I have to shove a bag of ice up my ass to keep it bearable, I will... There is no weather too hot.
