This was crazy, I was literally worried about riding in snow on the way home from Pittsburgh on Sunday, and now we had 95F on Wednesday.
I slightly screwed up yesterday, I rode into work yesterday at 03:30, the air was 50 ish and chilly, I wore Jeans and a black leather jacket with a light fleece under it, I was perfectly comfortable on my Vision with the fairing stopping the wind.
I leave to go home at 15:30, and it's 96F! I packed the fleece, opened the vents on my jacket and lowered the windshield, I was hot but ok for a while but then I got stuck in traffic and between that and the blazing sun I basically melted, in 20 minutes I was getting seriously woozy..it was stay ATTGAT and die or take drastic action!
I pulled off the road, packed the leather jacket and gloves and rode in my white work shirt with my visor open..I was in NJ still so the helmet wasn't optional or I might have even left that off for a few minutes too, I was THAT hot! The air felt wonderful and despite feeling like I was going to be flayed alive at any minute once the traffic cleared up I made it home in one piece and avoided heatstroke too!
