Zitat von Bravo im Beitrag #17Zitat von Boxerboy im Beitrag #14 That was a pleasurable work trip John, apart from the flying bits! |

Zitat von Bravo im Beitrag #17Zitat von Boxerboy im Beitrag #14 Been there once, on my honeymoon, maybe 30 degrees in the shadow but in the sun you really burn up quickly. So near the equator it shines really strong, so bring factor 50 sunblock! And slippers, because the beach is also to hot to walk on... But still jealous, looking outside at the melting snow and rain clouds. |

Don’t be jealous Gaucho, I’m back in a very windy and wet UK now! |

Here in the Mississippi Delta, the temperatures average about 95 degrees F (34 C) from late May to mid September. We also have high humidity to make it seem hotter still. However, I grew up in tropical and sub-tropical locales, so it doesn't seem so bad to me. Light colored gear with lots of mesh does a pretty good job of keeping me comfortable. I just have to stay ahead of dehydration. We get our best riding weather in the Spring and Fall, but even Winter isn't really bad apart from riding at night or during an uncommon cold snap. Access to year-round riding is a priority to me.

Zitat von Blackshirt im Beitrag #23 Ditto on that. It can get blisteringly hot in the summer here in the desert southwest US but not having snow or really cold temps in the winter really makes up for the uncomfortable rides in the summer. During that time of year I try to ride early in the morning before the temps get above 100F (some days in June/July that could be as early as 9 am). July/August can get a bit humid, with 30 - 60% rH being the normal range, but nothing like the summer humidity seen east of the Rockies. Aside from the heat or a late afternoon Monsoon thunderstorm (definitely don't want to be caught riding in one of those), there really are very few weather-related occasions throughout the entire year when I can't ride. My goal for this year is to ride at least 1,000 miles each month. I've got 967 miles so far this month and a planned 300 mile ride tomorrow will put me past my goal for the month. (I know Darrell gets in more miles than I do which amazes me because his riding season is almost 5 months shorter than mine) 2017 R1200RS Lupin Blue/Grey Metallic |

The American Southwest is really a motorcycling paradise. I lived in Albuquerque for a number of years. Great weather, awesome terrain/vistas, endless paved/gravel roads, and you can get as remote as you care to be. As much as I love our little Louisiana farm, I visit the Rockies several times a year...

Zitat von Bravo im Beitrag #27 Me either. Wait..., is Christmas gay? There are a few who smile a lot that time of year. I recall wearing my summer straw Stetson to keep the rain off while visiting the relatives in London - seems like every other man on the street knew the theme to Rawhide, assumed I knew Clint Eastwood, and wanted to buy me a drink. Well, maybe your wife is right. Now - where's the thread on how to store my hat on the bike without using a whole pannier? (In the good old days, while travelling the country on my bicycle, I kept a felt Resistol clipped to the outside of a pannier for Rocky Mountain downhill runs up to 100 kph, when a leather strap helmet was in order....) Finally - to pull this thread way off to what's really too hot - For Mrs Bravo - a cowboy hat helmet.... https://www.statelinetack.com/item/resis...lEaAgtoEALw_wcB TE017171.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)TE017171_01_490587.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) Or the old Hellhat.

Those of us in MN, IA, IL and MO (good ole USA) like Bruce, Lee, Terry, John, Ray and myself could be asking How Cold is too Cold. Right now it is -28 F., -48 wind chill, high today -17, wind 15 mph WNW. Tonight again down to the -30 range again. 42 and rain on Saturday. 70 degrees warmer than right now. Chatted with Lee this morning in IA and he has the same temps. |
