Too dam hot

[Balou]

Didn't think I would think this way after last years summer but its to dam hot to ride motorcycles!

Well I've enjoyed every minute of being out 'n about on my bike,
but have found that it's too exhausting to do the washing up in the kitchen

Theres no such thing as too hot. I once hired a VMax in Rhodes and spent a week riding round the island in August in a pair of shorts. THAT WAS HOT and I looked like Frank Bruno when I got home.

pretty hot at Santa Pod today - once I got back on the bike I wasn't stopping !

Come guys, 6 months of rain, wind , ice , slush, snow, you name it, weve had it, some of us have rode in it! A bit of nice weather will do a treat. And if you do go out for a run, you can allways stop off for a nice ice cold beer, it dont get any better.

Maybe the riders that suffer the heat most in this weather, are those that wear the full race leathers.
I've not seen any 'T-shirt and shorts' silly sods about oddly enough though so far!!
Mind you there's plenty of 'em in the U.S. on YouTube to entertain us

[chrisu]

Hertford last week - Gixxer, Shorts, T shirt, flip-flops.

.....and then you see them very briefly in the trauma ward, skin flayed off, flesh ground down to the bone. If they don't die from loss of blood then you don't really get to see them again as they cannot really go out much.
Going anything over bicycle speeds without leathers or similar is madness, it only takes one Volvo, one "sorry mate I didn't see you cos I was not looking" and if you are unlucky enough to have the bike on top of you then you don't have much chance.
I saw 2 x L plated racey 125 type things burning it up the dual carriageway yesterday with only shorts and trainers and then a GPZ and a Fazer on the way in this morning, belted past me doing 90+ in vests, shorts and trainers.
I know I am a nutter but I am not that bad, I would rather be hot and ride .
Sorry, rant over but I have seen too many piles of jam and bone scraped off the tarmac that could have been just a break and graze had they been properly kitted up.
