I remember riding a motorcycle in Phoenix summer. The heat would radiate up off the roadway and raise the temp well over ambient. This is when you really feel the heat of your engine too.
I recall on one trip from Tucson to Phx, I said to a gas station guy that "I never want to see the sun again." Talk about the question of whether light colors keep things cooler - I know that I would sooner wear a white helmet than a black one - goofy looking or not. Wearing a mandatory helmet in Maryland summers sucked too. The only helmet I owned was a full-face.
