I've been riding in full gear at 118 or 119. It was DAMN HOT! At that temp, moving wasn't much better than being stopped. I wore ICON Pursuit perf'd gloves and I swear the holes felt like little blow torches.

At the time, I was wearing an ICON Superduty Jacket and pants, A matte black ZR-1 Strike helmet...

Please tell me you did not enjoy that ride and you were soaked to the bone w/ sweat when you were done.

hey nakid how are those icon pursuit gloves in the protection department? i really dig them and want a pair, but it looks like it wouldnt survive well in a spill. I would just dunk my head in a bucket of ice all day at 120. I would be able to go thoruhg atleast 3-4 gallons of water if i even thought about riding in that kinda temp.

I think the hottest ive been riding in, is probably 100 degrees outside, but theres always the raidiating heat from the asphalt after the suns been on it all day. And then theres 95 degrees + being in traffic, which is almost as bad, but atleast you could just pull over and grab a drink without looking for a stoping point.

I did not enjoy it. But at the time, my wife had been in an accident and her car was being worked on. So, she had the truck at home in case the baby needed to go to the doctor. I was on the bike every day until my accident Aug 11th 06.

The gloves held up fine. After the accident, there was 1 or 2 stitches broken but that was it. I then used the gloves for the months I was in the wheel chair.

I started using them again in 07 when I got the new bike until a couple months ago when they wore through (mainly on the finger tips) from use in the wheel chair...

You can take cold COLD showers throughout the day to try to lower your core temp. A busted ac is not as bad as having the copper stolen out of all 4 of you commercial units. That my friend is a BIG hit to the wallet.

WRONG there are more ways to stop your air cond working probley the #1 way is a dirty filter if you really knew how a refrigerant cycle works you would know that a dirty filter would cause a drop in press across the evap coil causing low press and freeze up the coil which the ice makes the coil freeze more YES LOW freon WILL ALSO CAUSE A LP/FREEZE. also a dirty cond coil will cause high press in the freon circuit and trip the hi press switch these are just the basic thing there are many more things that are easy to see and fix but will kill your ac unit

that happened to me once in college

i went to one of the big box stores and bought an air conditioner.

when the landlord fixed the air 10 days later, i put it all neatly back into the box and taped it up and returned it. it was indistinguishable from new.

i told them i didn't need it as the landlord fixed the air conditioning. i didn't lie.

LOL, man that sucks. Whats the cost of copper now? im sure its almost $2.00 aint it? 3 years ago, i sold some for 1.30 a pound. I did a scrap metal run for .13 cents a pound. majority of it was scrap iron. I wonder how much those junk yard guys get for it.
