It's f*#!&ing hot
 

I live in Minnesota but it feels like Louisiana. By the time I'm pulling my helmet on for a ride, sweat is already rolling down my neck and dripping off my nose.

Damnit, I pay taxes! How can this happen in this day and age! Heat like this should be illegal, shouldn't it? I'm writin' my governor, and I want answers.

I hear ya. I'm in Winnipeg, MB and we've been stuck in a ridiculous heat wave too. We've had 95-100 degree days for the last 2 weeks....I talked to my brother in Minneapolis and he said it was something like 115 with the humidity there! Kinda makes me laugh because we bitch about how cold and snowy it is in winter and how we cant wait for summer and then we get this and wish it was cold again! You just cant win....

Yep. Track day at Brainerd yesterday. It was resiculously hot! The rest of the week isn't supossed to be any better.

Yeah just another sucky week here....... ;)

Try riding in Florida - you just described 300+ days out of the year for us down here. I take my pleasure rides very early in the morning and am done by 10:00AM, when the temp is already in the eighties and the heat index registers in the nineties!

Hanson MN's dew point reached 86 degrees... the hottest spot in the western hemisphere yesterday! other than the rain forests. Pretty sure I got moisture build up in my gas tank/line cause of the high dew point... had to take the car with no AC cause the bike started to run like crap about a mile from home :(

That's a low blow. I remember that coastal weather from when I was stationed out there ... can't quite recall why I'm still in Minnesota. Oh yeah, job. :(

Aacchhh! :mad: You suck! J/K ;)
What I would do to be back in California! :drool:

I grew up in Minneapolis, and I was shocked to see the high temp predicted for today is 110. I don't ever remember it being that hot there.

that's why I wear a half helmet! ;)

One of my first track days was at Road Atlanta at 99 degrees. Try that with full leathers. :o

Well we have to have something to compensate for all the other BS we have to put up with living here..... ;)

I was out the other day, sweating at a stop, and saw a guy on a scooter doing about 50 while wearing shorts, a t-shirt and sandals. Never do it myself, but "ignorance is bliss" crossed my heat-addled mind.

Yeah, I'd gladly trade them Nancy Pelosi for Michele Bachmann. For that matter, I'll throw in Jerry Brown, Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein.

Do we have a deal?

its been hot in the niagara falls area too, only getting hotter. today by 745 am it was already 29 degrees, not sure what that is in american talk but pretty damn hot. gotta be touching 90's by that point

Well, that's a +10. Now that I think of it, have been a lot of nice legs roaming around in short shorts.

According to the Weather Channel, we had a "feels like temp" of almost 45 degrees Celsius. Feels like I ought to move to San Diego is what it feel like.

Yesterday's high down here in the deepish south was 92, this weekend is gonna be 95+ every day. If that weren't bad enough the humidity is typically 80% or more to accompany all that.

Last night when I went to bed at 10:30 it was 82 degrees still, right now at 5:30am its already 78....really not sure why I have lived in the south for so long....

yeah thats a nice bit of heat. it was 35 on my way home from work at 430 last night, factor in the humidty and youre in the 40's. the worst part is that even with all 4 windows open in my truck the air is still hot and uncomfortable to drive in, same with riding. i wont ride in this crap. its too hot and not enjoyable at all.

i was up at 645 this morning, by 7 when i let my dogs out it was already about 23 degrees outside, and this week isnt looking too good

Same thing here...woke up at 6am, it was 24 degrees, they're saying a high of 37 and i dont know what it'll be with the humidity....at least the mid 40's. Lame. I told my boss this morning that i'm not doing shit today, and i'm gonna take it easy. It sucks being in a shop with no A/C, working on a scorching hot bus.

I lived in Phoenix for 20 some odd years. You only think that you have felt heat.

So what you're saying is you'll trade blue flavored nazis for a red flavored nazi.

91deg in Indy with 60+% humidity. It said 60% chance of rain this morning so I zipped my rain lining into my jacket. What a mistake. Was sweating before I left my house, and then my neighbor had a visitor who wanted to talk motorcycles for a bit so I was just standing there sweating.

Note to self-Bring extra shirt in a plastic bag tucked in jacket for work.

At that temp, I would just as soon get caught in the rain! :o

On the bright side I've sweated off enough weight my old teknic prowler perforated jacket fits again. Two more weeks of this and I should be able to get into the pants as well.

29 days straight of 100+ temps.

Nothing like when i was in Iraq though. Never counted the straight days but it was easily over 120-130 daily.

hey all, 1st post, will try and get something more formal with pics of my new hawk up soon

Living in Michigan and man alive it's balls hot lately. I work nights and tonight was the first night in at least a week that it's gone below 80 degrees. I go home and think about a ride but between the car and my house I'm already sweating. So far am enjoying some rides to/from work since they're short and the sun isn't too intense (low sun in the morn and no sun riding in at midnight :D).

I will say that some days I just don't feel up to gearing (helmet, jacket, gloves, combat boots), but I'm much less likely to do it when the temps go over 90 while it's humid.

over 100 today and yesterday here in the boston area... dont flame me but I couldnt wear my jacket today for my commute to work... I did yesterday and it was hell

+1 to this, today I'm breaking my rules :eek:

Our local paper said that the Puget Sound area had 78 minutes of temperatures considered high enough to be summer so far this year. Been good for riding, though.

Local Seattle paper says that we have had 78 minutes of summer temperatures. Not bad for riding, though.
