Well it is here summer in central Texas, as of 4:35 pm it's 104 in the shade. The spyder is even staying in the ac lol. Only 90 long days to.
For the first tim in my memory (which is getting worse) the local weather showed that the entire state of Texas was above 100 deg. with the exception of Brownsville which was only 98. It is going to be a Summer to remember for sure.

Very hot and long indeed! I'm already ready for October to be here! Can't blame me for wanting the heat to go away...like right now!! Just hope we get some rain from time to time too. IT'S HOT HOT HOT!

Have to agree, it is FREAKIN HOT! Went for a ride this am and about melted before I got home at noonish. Is definitely going to be hot this summer. May want to look at some midnight rides again.
Not horrible here... about 105. Had to go downtown (about 15 miles), so rode the Spyder. Wore the chamois neck-kerchief and sleeves. Not bad for the 30 min ride. The Spyder did get a little warm though... hit 6 bars a couple times waiting at stoplights. Thinking about installing a fan override switch.. and maybe the larger, second generation fan.

My bike is parked out in a pasture at work, this is what it was when I got on today after work and the later is it cooled off when I got home. Needless to say i burned my buns!
After Durango, I rode up to Boulder where the temp. yesterday got to 104. The wife and I could not stand it so we ran for the mountains this morning. Currently at Estes Park at a more reasonable 88 deg.
At 11:00 AM this morning it was 102 on my porch in the shade. At 4:00 PM it was 107. Right now, 8:20 PM. it's 100. Looks like a long, hot summer alright.
Yeah... it's plenty hot.... but ...Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan Feb, March, April, May, June are PRIME riding!!!!! When others are iced in... we are riding!!! and we can ride in the heat.... if we take precautions!!!!
Life is Good!!!!!

We will take the rain!!!!! Been watering the fruit trees since we got back from Durango..... the grass is dying.. and on it's own.... at least I won't have ta mow it!!!
Wife was off of work today and we got an early start this morning. We wanted to put the new rear shock and the updates to the test. Left the house when it was 81 @ 8am, not too bad but knew it was coming. Drove down into Quinland by the lake then decided to head for home. Temp began to rise very quickly and te sweat was flowing. Completed the 75 mile ride @ 11am as the temp was reading 102. Glad we started early, spent the rest of the day in the pool!

We don't know what hot is compared to most Texans..Our average high temps in June are 90--doubt we've averaged 85 this year. Florida is probably one of the cooler states for June.

I noticed from your post and your picture that you have installed the Kuryakyn ISO grips on an RS. I've bought some and wanted to know if you or anyone else has any tips out is there a video out?
