mania Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) 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 Edited April 22, 2014 by mania 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ll2 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited April 22, 2014 by ll2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyF Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papa al Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shurup Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 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. Sent from my mobile, whatever mobile it is.

mania Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzzi850m2 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 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? Yes very hot indeed, eh no thanks man, we believe you 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebula Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ll2 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 LL I cannot even imagine full leathers in this heat & I know Bangkok is probably hotter than here 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:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wong! Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Some early evening rides home from work in CM have been through very hot air. Absolutely no cooling from going faster. Sent from my GT-P3100 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funcat Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 If it's over 36 C,one needs to insulate from heat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllanB Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 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!! I prefer heat to cold, except when I am hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Still super hot & around 38 today with a 43 real feel rating on Accuweather But did as I saw RubberSideDown post once & took the early morning ride all done by 10am Good idea RSD Much better 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ll2 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited May 26, 2014 by ll2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
