but naked???? wow do u do this at 3 in the moring? well anyhow i will admit with this heat and on shorts trips particulary going to pool parties around the corner i have been wearing shorts. I need to nip it in the but before I make it okay and become a squidMy first real bike was a 1976 Honda CJ360T. Took a girl out in a short skirt. She so loved the way the wind felt that she would put her legs in the air, round about my shoulders, and scream.
She was actually dating a friend of mine, and she was jailbait. She was also in very real danger of tossing us into all kinds of trouble, with her legs on my shoulders.
I've actually ridden most of my motorcycles naked. Say what you will. Only once on each, and just because I had to feel that closeness with with my machine and the world.
I can allow a little slip, knowing what we risk by doing so. If it becomes commonplace however, than an intervention by a well meaning moron, such as myself is in order.
In answer to your question: Yep. Butt, frickin' nekkid.but naked???? wow do u do this at 3 in the moring? well anyhow i will admit with this heat and on shorts trips particulary going to pool parties around the corner i have been wearing shorts.

I remember South-central Alaskan summers well. Between 50-70°F, occasionally a clear day with no rain, mostly days of rain and clear mixed (it stopped raining as soon as you put your jacket on and started again about the time you put it away), and clouds of mosquitoes unless the wind was up. With or without ATGATT, you can expect to lose a lot of blood — Road rash just makes it easier for the mosquitoes.Well I shouldn't admit this, but last night I rode in shorts. I know, I know :spank: but in my defense it was hot out (well 70 F is hot to me) and I was only going around the corner to pick up a bottle of soda water. I had all the rest of my gear on, I was just in too much of a hurry to put proper pants on. The breeze felt nice going up my shorts.
Past 85°F, it all feels the same to me heat wise, it's the level of sweat that changes. I just suck it up, open up the vents on my gear, and make it a point to drink water like it's going out of style.So tell me how you wear all your gear all the time when thermometer hits 40C (104 F)...
And don't lie you don't ride these days....
Yesterday was like that in Toronto, good thing I live in Calgary and we don't have that all the summer and I can ride through 6 months more or less comfortably with ocassional trips on winter.
I've seen those and have been tempted to try them. Glad to hear a positive review. I may have to try them when I have the funds.Heat Out shirts... they work *much* better than UA, and are worth they're weight... @ CycleGear

True enough, suh! It's been triple digits here for some time now, but as long as you keep hydrated, it's amazing how the body adapts. I'm not saying I necessarily *enjoy* riding when it's 110, but I'll do it! (Mostly because I'm a crazy bastage and I'd have to give up riding for the summer if I chose to punk out)Well sir, I'm ATGATT. I went out on a six hour ride, in 90*F plus our ridculous SC humidity, yesterday. All my gear is mesh, except my perforated leather boots and my well ventilated helmet. I was dehydrated by my first smoke and coffee stop, a couple hours into the ride.
I chose gatorade over the coffee. By the end of the ride, the temp really had not dropped much but my body had acclimated. Yep, it was hot. But not unbearably so. When I got to work today, I took off the helmet and gloves and unzipped my jacket. Then I sat on my bike, in the sun, and had a smoke before clocking in. There was enough of a breeze that I was never really hot.
We're going to be in the triple digits, Fahrenheit here, pretty soon. I'll still be riding, and still be ATGATT. It's amazing what your body can adjust to, if you let it. And if you really want to be ATGATT, the discomfort from the heat is relatively minor compared to to all the reasons you're wearing the gear.
That's how I see it. I dress for the crash, not the weather.In 2010, there was one day it hit 118 degrees here. I was riding in full gear, but I did put on a cooling vest under my mesh jacket (which helped quite a bit).
I always put on gear. If I deem it too hot for full gear, I'll take the car.
thats what i wear on those hot days. dont feel the heat while movingMesh/textile gear helps a lot too.
