Default Who is actually riding?!

Ok...So all this week....AND last week, I have ridden everyday. However, I'm finding that it isn't as "fun" as it should be. Whether I am on the Harley doing it like Harley riders do with a brain bucket, jeans, boots, and a wife beater; or on the Ninja with my boots, jeans, mesh jacket, gloves, and FF helmet; I am DYING from the heat.

Who else is riding during the day just to....I dunno....See if they can actually pass out while riding?! I would so love to go for a long ride one weekend but I don't know if I can hack it with the way the heat is.

Just curious how many are actually "enjoying" riding or missing the A/C comfort of a cage.

I haven't worked in a couple of weeks now and I've only taken the bike out maybe 3 times (during the daytime). I think the longest I was out was 3 hours tops. It's either getting a free bike wash from the rain or the heat was unbearable. I don't know if I could do one of those long rides in this heat.
