when it's that hot, I just squid it up and don't ride highways, and avoid traffic... not a big deal.

I've been in Savannah for hte past 5 weeks and wish I had my bike because my dark blue Chevy truck's A/C quit working. Honestly when I ride my bicycle I come back less sweaty.

I'll be happy to be back in Atlanta where it is much cooler.

Put on leather or mesh pants, t shirt, boots. Start bike, put on wet sweatshirt, and mesh or leather jacket over top.

Go riding...if leather jacket, unzip chest vents and stay cool 4-6 hrs depending on how fast you are going even in 100+days with high (today 89%) humidity.

At one point when I was on the freeway, I had to partially zip chest vents as I was chilly..........
If it's hot out, why dip the shirt in WARM water?

I'll definitely be happier riding when the temps are in the 80's or lower again.
How long you been waiting for the stator, my 1125 is in the shop too for the same problem

because putting it on after it's been in cold water will make your nips stand up.
