105-110 degree range. Mesh jackets are the best. :-D

[Captk]

I can top that by 1 Brenno, 43 degrees at Cobar at 4.30 in the morning, heading from Adelaide to Brisbane two years ago. I've never been so miserable in all my life. Really scared what little that I have that passes for a brain was going to cook. Really wasn't concentrating on riding, just surviving. All in all,really bloody stupid.

Man, you've got to do something about your Avatar. From here you look just like Norman Gunston.

Still you've got to give it to the little Aussie bleeder, best impromptu 12 bar blues I've ever seen, him on Harp, Frank Zappa on accoustic guitar.
Dead set blew me away.

Highest I have seen was 115F/46C in Kansas City.

At traffic lights I was aked if I was insane, as I was wearing both a leather jacket and helmet.

About 103 deg F when I rode to Moorehead/Fargo to teach an MSF class last year.:-D

[airportcop]

100 degrees going to the 2006 JoJo rally. I think that was the day I smoked my second RR and stator! I have re-installed the new RR behind the front forks and so far all is well. Better cooling that way.

While I've yet to experience anything over the century mark, my worst was a year and a half ago. It was mid to lower 90's and the 1100 decided to quit running a couple miles from home. My gear was/is an Icon black leather jacket. While it's comfy at those temps without the liner and moving, it's a killer at a stand-still.

I started pushing the bike towards the house and eventually got smart enough to take the jacket off. I was within a few blocks of home and it started up again. So, I had to put the jacket back on. Never been so miserable in all my life!

July 4th,2002. Panamint Springs in Death Valley. 125F. Left Trona at noon,soaked my shirt and pants at the Texaco and was dry as a chip before we hit the twisties outside of town. Was in a group ride to Virginia City. My buddies girlfriend heatstroked on the back of the bike 5 miles outta Panamint Springs. We got her there,hosed her down and called the paramedics.
After they got there,she refused to go to the hospital 'cause she "had 4 more days of riding"! We put her in the chase truck and she was fine by the time we made Bishop. From that point forward,we kept 2 large coolers in the chase truck loaded with Gatorade,water and juices.
Tiny,if you and your truck hadn't been there,I don't know what we would have done!
RIP Brother

The hottest day that I can remember was 107 as I crossed from Idaho into Washington. I stopped at the Honda shop in town. I must have looked a site for everyone there wanted to know if I was allright. Yes I was wearing full gear.

Hottest Temperature - +120 in Arizona Desert

I took a trip from home (Michigan) out to the Painted Desert east of the Grand Canyon. My buddies and I were driving there during the middle of the day (not real smart). One of our friends drives a Harley and had a factory installed ambient air temp gage that was pegged at 125 F so I know it was at least 120. I had a gallon jug of water strapped to the seat and I refilled it whenever I stopped. I was drank almost 2 gallons that day with 1 potty stop. My helmet would be soaked but would be bone dry within 5 minutes of stopping. By the time I got home that helmet was TRASHED from the sweat. I wore a mesh jacket then and it worked great helping me from burning to a crisp!

I went to Vegas to see a friend one weekend & he told me to bring my bike & we'd go for a ride while I was there. So I put the old 1150 in the truck & went to Vegas. We left his house at 7:00 in the morning & it was 99 degrees. By the time we got back at 12:30 it was 116! It was absolutely NO fun. Honestly, it was like riding in an oven! Ray.
