dustinsn3485 Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 The only thing that made life bearable on the bike and in the heat for me out there were the HOV lanes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cOoTeR Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 he needed a faster bike to get more wind to keep himself cool....duhThat doesn't help its like riding into a giant blowdryer that's also blowing sand. With mesh gear it dries your sweat instantly so there is no cooling effect. I actually prefer my leather gear over my mesh out here most of the time because it traps the sweat in. You can zip it up for awhile build up some sweat then unzip it a little for a bit and the air flow feels like A/C. But being able to ride year round is definitely worth the summer heat. It is pretty crazy though if you go out in the desert it kind of smells like a sauna because the mesquit wood is soo hot its almost cooking.

Steve Butters Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Love it! Little hot right now, but I'll be carving up mountainous bliss while you guys all sit on your bikes in the garage making brap brap sounds because there's too much snow outside to ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 he needed a faster bike to get more wind to keep himself cool....duhActually, I'm cooler sitting still than riding lol... The breeze here is hot as fuck. My leather jacket keeps me cooler than just a t shirt because it keeps the wind off of me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent2406 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Ah man, I remember that hair dryer feeling! When I was in Irag in 03 and we didn't have ice or anything, we would put our bottless of water in wet socks and hang them from our mirrors while driving. It would actually cool it down to an acceptable drinking temperature. We would also have our own personal built in swamp coolers. Your t-shirt under your DCU and flack jacket would be soaking wet. You'd just stick your arm out the window and let the wind go up your sleeve and your wet t-shirt would cool you down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
