I was in Jax last week and I saw motherfuckers still out riding in mid 90's. Most of them rode with no gear(helmet, jacket or gloves), but they were still out riding.

I totally agree! When I was a kid, all I had was a motorcycle, so I had little choice. It was freeze, burn, walk or take the bus. Now if it's too nasty, in any way, imo, I take the car. I always find it funny, the guys that brag about riding when it's shitty out like it's some badge of honor or something! I don't need a hydration pack thankyou, my car came with cup holders.

I ride home every day in the mid 80's with mississippi humidity. No issues. Haven't seen a day yet too hot to ride... Just no place to ride to in ms.

I commute to work on my bike and the mornings are not that bad, the ride home has not been bad as of yet but that's because of the rain we've had on the way home. I don't mind arriving home from work sweaty, just don't want to arrive to work wet or sweaty.

Its never really 'too hot' to ride, its only a matter of how much water you take with you and how frequently you stop to rehydrate...
