I have rode to work the past two days. Temps in good "Old Virginny" are tagging right around 100 degrees. I haven't seen many other bikes going or coming, I think allot have converted to the ac equipped cages. I will have to say the Rocket is probably the heat producing motorcycle I have ever sat in extremely hot weather. Please don't get me wrong, I love the machine and know the problem is that big friggin motor between your legs, the heart of the beast. I can't imagine what a Boss Hog must put out in this kind of weather. I still have no idea how the sport bikers and BMW riders can stand leather, padded jackets and gloves when it gets like this. Yes I know the joy of road rash, but it has been a long long time ago. In my old humble opinion safety and comfort have to find common ground when the temps and humidity get like this.
