uugghhh  you're not kidding!! It's like the  [evil] is controlling the weather!!!

-I'm in Boston + thank God it's A/C'd here @ work, but I start pouring sweat as soon as I step outside.. Call me a wuss, but I left the Monster at home in the shade + went with the A/C'd Volkswagen today!!  :-[

I'll see your 90 and raise you 14.  (and those up in Phoenix will go another 4 beyond)
The ride home in the afternoon is beginning to get warm, I'll grant you. 

I can't wait till September when it'll be 90 again  ;D

I was at the track yesterday (NHMS- loudon) and I can tell you that riding around in full non perforated leathers   towing students around was HOT!

I was stuffing blocks of ice down my leathers to try and stay cool.

Only Ducpainter looked cool sitting in his air conditioned tree house ;D

I spent a year and a half in phoenix and remember plenty of days riding around at 120 degree temps with a black leather jacket and helmet, not bad until you stop. Then OMG its hot!

I did an engine swap on my ex500 in the parking lot of my apartment complex and after putting a wrench on the tarmack I was not able to pick it up because it was too hot to hold.

fun times.

The tree house was better than riding yesterday...and the riding was fuuuun.

Get back to me some day in April or September when it's a rainy day.   ;)

Sittin here in our nations capitol, weather.com says it is 95 but feels like 105.  I too left the Monster at home under cover and opted for the A/C cooled Jeep. I can't wait for some  [drink] or maybe  [drink]  [drink]  [drink]

Funny you should say that, this is me trying to shove a bag of ice into my crotch on Sunday in western PA.  98F, about 60-70% humidity, 520+ miles, 20 hours of riding :o.
