Hotter than hell out there

Lived in different parts of the world like Singapore, Thailand, DR where temperatures like today are normal everyday and rode scooters and motorcycles on a daily basis in shorts and t-shirt. If you're concerned with your safety don't ride, if you do, get some knee and elbow pads. Simple.

This is weak sauce compared to South Carolina from May to October.

I have to come into downtown TO Friday and thinking of taking the bike. My trip usually takes 3.5 hrs from where I am to the Yonge/Eglinton area with decent traffic. Can anyone suggest a non-400 series route to Orangeville that would allow for stops? I really don't feel like getting trapped in stop and go rush hour on 401/410 in this sweltering heat with nowhere to stop.

I live near orangeville. It's the definite long way but even if you came across the city and up highway ten (hurontario) until at least derry then over to the 410 it's not so bad. 410 to mayfield. West on mayfield back to ten and there's a tims and gas stations should you need it.

Not a bad idea. Maybe I'll stay on Eg and take a short jaunt on the 401 until Hurontario.

Thanks for the suggestion.

There's a lot of lights and all but at least there's stores or places to stop for a drink if you need it. I rode it last night home from burrito boyz and it wasn't that bad.

Am I missing something....??

So you want a route OUT of downtown Yonge and Eglinton then to Kincardine??

Why not go straight north to 9 on the 400 and then west on 89 and catch 10
Makes no sense to go west then north.

Yesterday, when I left work, the humidex was 47C here in St. Catharines. I put my helmet, jacket, boots, and gloves on before I left the air-conditioned office. As soon as I was outside my helmet fogged up! I've never seen that happen due to high temperature before!!

For all of you: what your engine (coolant) temperature is at during this heatwave? Both, when riding and when at stand still.

I have 10 notches, it runs between 8 and 9 when standing still, haven't overheated yet. Riding it's between 6/7 doesn't go down too much

Ok, but what does that refer to in Celcius?

Mine is digital, so it's easy to tell:
- riding hwy speed - 98C
- crawling through traffic - 102C
- sitting at traffic lights - 106C

Fan turns on at 103*C, the fan is running when it's at notch 7

This 2012 never gets up to 1/2 way, ever. When both fans are going, rider is are part of the cooling system.
My 06 would get into red if i didn't get the manual fan switch on in time, and even then couldn't idle forever without temp spiking.

If you have an Adidas outlet near you they have a buy one get one half price sale on right now and they have some sample Climacool golf shirts at $20 (so $30 for two). If you're like me and start sweating as soon as you get your jacket on these things are great for work. Some of them have plain/formal styling.

Similar here but by 105 the fans are on and it drops back down and I haven't been stuck in gridlock with it at least
