    Come down to Florida! 730am 85degrees and 100% humidity and no wind. Tried to go riding this past Sunday and i wasn't even completly dressed in my gear and was sweating bullets. then it decides to rain the rest of the day and makes it even worse.

    Wow, you guys are nuts!!!!!

    I am not a good "humidity" guy. I like it more on the dry side.

    I guess I'm kind of a wuss if I found Michigan to be too humid, huh? :shock:

    Down under in summer it can get extremly hot and sticky and it makes riding quiet interesting.

    My most memorable event was January this year, me and about 7 other mates decided we would go on a big ride out west for a week. but it was the first day of our trip which was the hottest. where we took off from was 50 degree's at 11 o'clock and it seemed to get hotter until 1 that after noon. the wind just made it hotter aswell. everything seemed to be melting and starting the bikes was hell!!!. We even packed dry ice around the air boxes the radiators and even under the fuel tanks of all the bikes, i must admit this worked a treat the bikes actually performed better. But apart from the engines we all had ice vest's on which melted within atleast 30 mins and the amount of water we went through was crazy personally from when we left till 2 o'clock i trank 15 litres of water, my girlfriend drank almost more i recon. and then there were the flies and not to mention the storms every afternoon of our trip. and during the day the rare puddle you might find would end up being boiling water almost. so if u want exteme heat and humidity come to australia mates.

    Ok was going to say something about Houston heat/humidy but that takes the cake.

    Hell you get used to it, if I go to the desert my lips, hands, etc.. start to crack and dry out like you woulnd't beleive. I have to carry Carmex, and a tube of lotion just to talk and work on the computer. Dry heat, year right.
