Hahah anyone else noticing the rides are extra hot?

I think today was extreme but I was jonsin for a good ride after being in the US for a few weeks

so went anyway & at mid day as I had some things to do in the AM

Didn't mind though as the roads were empty on my fav twisty ride.

I think the extra high heat may have even increased grip laugh.png

I made nearly 60 km today in Bangkok with leather/mesh jacket, boots and half gloves on a very hot 650cc inline four engine!

Hot but I am OK with it after 10 years in tropics. I hate cold though! Prefer hot always to cold.

40 degrees yesterday in Ladprao at 11:45 am (according to the outside temp on the car). I wouldn't ride a bike at mid-day in this heat unless I was guaranteed no lengthy stops - which kind of rules out any area in Bangkok...

It's been hot in Pattaya the last few weeks. Would you guys like to see a picture of the heat rash on my buttocks?

Rode my strong little CBR150 carby from Patts to Buriram today.

Hot, but nice cooling 120kph breeze thru the mesh jacket.

Swimming pool @ hotel afterwards felt good.

Went to Korat today and went through a new route. Took HWY 2148 and was happy to discover is full of nice twisties but it's only about 25 km long.

Heat didn't bother me much add I kept my speed high while on the HWY, if wad a little more than inconvenient while I stopped for a few minutes to find a place I was looking for on my Gps. On a way back it was raining so I had to take those twisties at a slower rate. It wat a good day neverthless, put about 250 km for a round trip.

You could suffer a "Severe Loss Of Face" if you come off the bike and hit the dirt!

Yes same as others said when I was moving I was ok.

Although I did smile a few times when feeling heat waves in sections

come up under helmet.

But yes the Dainese mesh jacket I wear is fine for airflow

The only time you really heat up is when stopped & I only have two

stop lights on the way.

But having been gone for 3 weeks I did stop to air the tires

There was an older falang putting 50 lbs into his tires on his tiny truck

That was the only time I started dripping while waiting for him to get done :)

Yes very hot indeed, eh no thanks man, we believe youbiggrin.png

The mesh net I bought for my PCX is helping keeping the seat cool when parked in the sun and I find the seat much more comfortable too.

I had a ride yesterday Pahon Y, Rachada, Pahon Y, Ladplakao Rd. It was around around 2-3 pm. I was hot yes but not as much As I would think I would be. After fortune town I went to Esplenade to get my Subway lunch.I didn even take off the jacket. Really windy jacket , with all zippers open ofcourse. If it wasnt for the busy Roads I would do it more often never mind the heat.

Your tough 555

not only leathers but also base layers, hard short (ass protector), full body armor - back and chest, full gloves, full helmet, full boots!

I got cramps that night due to the loss of water although drank like 10 liters.

Still, it is better than cold:)

Some early evening rides home from work in CM have been through very hot air. Absolutely no cooling from going faster.

Two days ago I clocked 45c on my truck readout, I was in the sun, though the sensor is shaded form direct sunlight, but never seen that before in 6 years.

Riding without a shirt must be worse than leathers, although I guess you end up with leathers (skin) anyway,

My seat gets red hot, the missus sits down in it and, well...dis-arsed her!! smile.png

I prefer heat to cold, except when I am hot.

Yesterday, i was at Nakhon Chai Sri - Circuit of Thailand with some friends from 09.30 to 15:00. Track is open until 17:00 but no power and heat robs your concentration so we cut it short.

It was hot again in leathers and although drank like liters of water, still got a bad headache after i reached home that bothered me for hours:(

Waiting for the rains. Rainy season is cooler although summer.

Dreadful traffic in CM today. Stupid bloody women all over the place whether on a scooter or on Facebook in the car.
