I picked up the RT-P yesterday and rode it home--hottest day I've ever ridden in I think. With the heat of 95 degrees F and humidity in the 70s+ percentage-wise, the "heat index" (what it feels like) was 111!!!
By the time I arrived home, after about a 40 minute ride, I was soaking wet and starting to get dehydrated. I don't see how anyone can ride without protective gear in this heat however, as my Aerostich kept me from feeling and being seriously effected by the heat radiating off the roads--and believe me--it was a lot. My car as a thermometer inside which shows outside temperature. I've always thought there was something wrong with it when the announced temperature was in the 90s and it was reading 100+. Not anymore!! Stay cool guys! I have to do a couple of retests at 1 p.m. today for the students who failed their range test in courses over the past few weeks--I think I picked the wrong time frame....oh well. Regards, Henry S.
