Time to park the bike until the fall. I rather ride with heated gear. I'm all about adjustable comfort settings.

BTW 86 degrees is not hot!
86 to me is almost unbearable. 100 would have me wanting to shoot myself in the face. Super serious. The only way I can stand anything around 86-90 is to ride in a t-shirt a long the coast line.

Don't ever, ever go to Kuwait or Iraq then. You'd probably burst into flames at 120+. I was used to it, and I still felt like I'd catch fire at any given moment.

I have no intentions so not to worry, but I got a feeling where I go in the afterlife will be on the warm side though so I should prepare

No AC, that shiz is heavy and saps power!

Desert heat isn't so bad with the dryness, but in the south 85 is hot with all the humidity. The sun in the desert is just brutal in the summer...

And, windows only mean glass gets broken all over the place when your helmeted head hits the window. So, if you even have windows - they are down.

I'll take 105 here over 85 there anytime. It might be hot, but only in the sun.

Nuun Tablets http://www.nuun.com/index.php are my answer to hydration. They are easier to pack than any liquid.

Those too. Very handy on the go.

They have tablets that are supposedly safe for camelbaks, but being as I had mold in my camelbak after using them, I am a little wary.
