So this is my first bike. I'm focused on being good and wearing my gear, but i dont know what the hell im gonna do this summer...

It was only85 degrees today and i was pretty damn hot.

 

man just wear your gear it hit 100 here yesterday and it was hot but please wear your gear.. i got a joe rocket jacket its a mesh with a remoable liner and its not so bad just sucks when siting in traffic but once i am moving its nice

 

I wear a preferated leather jack. It gets hot but I wear it all the time.

 

Ya Middle of the day sucks. But imagine your *** sliding down the 140 degree pavement without gear. Joe Rocket makes some Mesh Jackets that i have heard are great for air flow. I have a leather perforated one from alpinestar thats fine moving but is just as hot as my other jackets sitting still. I am going to invest in one of the textile versions that are lighter for those hot days.

 

Living in Arizona you get used to the heat very easily. It's only a burden when you stop, cause thats when you really start to feel the heat... You'll be fine though, everything takes a little getting used to at first. Whatever you do, where your helmet, whats the point of looking cool when half your face is gone?

 

just wear shorts and a tank top man sandals have the best airflow of any shoe out there [sm=smiley20.gif]

 

 

I'd rather be hot and sweaty than rashed and bloody.

 

when it starts getting extremely hot (well over 100), exposed skin gets burned due to convection.... covering your body (vented or not) will cool ya down.

 

it's true, why else would people wear all those cloths and stuff in the middle east.

+ your gonna be sitting less then a foot above an engine so no matter what you'll be hot if your not moving.
