Been VERY HOT here. Monday was cloudy so I was able to run my A/C wires through conduit on the roof and down into the wall behind the main panel. Prepped everything inside last week first. 115 the rest of the week. Today I was able to put in my new speedo. Only 90 at 6 AM. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 100. Gonna be a long HOT summer. :dry:

Yeah, I'd like to hang out at the Rib Joint and stay at the Super 8 across the street like I did in the 90's in Dana Point when I was working in S Laguna. Had to come home on the weekends. Coming through the pass it is like a blast furnace. :blink:

I must be different, as heat doesn't really bother me. I just got back to Denver from central MO today and temps were in the 90s all day, no problem in 730 mile ride. I wear the full Aerostich Roadcrafter suit. Seems retarded to be fully covered with a suit in hot weather but it works better than having hot air blow on your skin, trust me.
I'll admit the humidity makes it worse, but not that much. Riding at 110 dregrees is hotter than riding at 90 with a 110 degree heat index for sure. Don't know where the heat index thing was invented, but it's way blown out. Heat index was 110 in MO and it wasn't anything that major.

321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

So is an oven :woohoo:

I live near Portland, Oregon and my rider is a '76 KZ900 I bought new. I'm also in the process of restoring another one and a '73 Z1.
