It made it to 101 today, here in lil ol Holland MI. Doesn't set a record , but it ties it.

Too hot to ride.

You guys are getting the heat that has hung around here in Denver for a couple of weeks. We are finally going to get out of the 90's and get some rain. Unfortunately, it means flooding for the burn areas.

Stay cool, folks.

Outside temp at work in Scottsdale AZ read 110 yesterday... last week was REAL bad at 114, but it tends to be a few degrees hotter than many parts of Downtown Phoenix.

They say we may get rain next week... but they always promised that. A couple of days ago was the first rain we had in a few months

That's by the Lakeshore, where's it's cool. It's several degrees warmer here, inland.

Too hot to ride.

Too hot to bake in a cage.
I just ride faster.

72° here in L.A. Clear and sunny....

A sweltering 106F in good ol' Saint Louis today. 87F in my apartment right now with the air conditioner going full blast. I feel like a human baklava... Baked and sticky

They are threatening us with some nasty heat for the weekend. Heard 104-109

Heh heh heh. Indeed. Warming up next week, though. Still, no triple digits, even in the Valley, thankfully.

But if everyone there is fake, how can I believe you?

They're not fake, they're papier-mâché. <Note cryptic reference to Moonrise Kingdom>

3 straight days of 100+ temps here, a record. It was 104 at 3 PM today. With the high humidity on top of it, I'm ashamed to admit I left the bike at home and drove the SUV with the nice cool air.

I think we've also set a record for 90+ deg days in a row.

I guess we're paying the piper for that incredibly mild winter.

Got it. Just saw that movie a couple of days ago... Loved it.... I'm on topic... I saw the movie up the street to beat the heat ( am I a poet or what???)

nice 'n seasonal here in socal

Update: made it to 102! That's a record.

Yeah, we vere planning a Civil war battlefield trip. No way in this heat. Too hot to enjoy it.

101 too hot to ride? i'd welcome that kind of coolfront in the summer time!

I too gave that a serious thought, then I remembered the A/C in the old Jeep just don't cut it any more......

Look out east coast.....the heat is coming your way! Hope you have your power back up and can run your AC. This is supposed to be our last day of record heat in Michigan and then it back down into the 80's.

One more bad day here as well. I thought it was suppose to cool off to the low 90's today, but woke up to a local forecast calling for one more 100 deg day. Can't wait for the 80's.

105F now, and I've gotta go play at an outdoor wedding this afternoon, by which time we'll be at 108-110F. Gah.

Woof... Too hot for that. Do your best to stay cool Pete.

Riding in the heat doesn't bother me...it's the stopping that really stinks. If I thought I could turn the handle and just keep going...there wouldn't be a problem.

101-107 F in Nashville today.

I'm with ya on that! I had to cancel a big ride I was going to lead last weekend for several reasons. I don't feel comfortable leading a large group in the middle of the afternoon in this weather. It was the day after our "derecho", so many trees and powerlines down. And as expected, we were exceptionally busy at work the day before, 32 calls logged and barely 3 hours of sleep for me. It's postponed for now.

Not entirely true. I've actually seen a few Genuine Scooter people around here.
