Read this on cnn.com. Read the 5th paragraph about the motorcyclist.

Ive done several desert runs in heat way into the triple digits, with full leathers on.
You just need to drink a lot, and drive fast

 

[hamamatsu]

I was out riding last Saturday, we put 225 miles on the bikes in 92 degree heat. I was wearing a mesh Jacket and gloves. It was too hot for comfort, I can't imagine triple digit temps.

Finally cooled off enough to leave the 240sx in the driveway and ride to work. Only 90, tomorrow it will be 85. I might need a sweater. Where are the global warming doubters now?

Here in Bakersfield we ride daily in 100 plus weather and always with protective clothing, mesh jacket and riding pants. Tony C

Maybe the ramp was at the top of a steep hill.

 

[jamesgs4]

wow, at 70 mph, his jump would have lasted about 1.5 seconds. Bet that feels like 5 minutes hitting it by suprise.

12th paragraph now. It was added to. Haha...

Drove to san luis obispo in full leathers, 115 degrees. My tires were literally coming apart.

Riding an air-cooled kawi ninja 600 that blew hot air on my right boot tip.

The only way to stay cool was to go over 100. Honest, officer.

 

[ProSimex]

Its interesting to note thaat they never said anything about weather or not he managed to land it.

 

[ratfinkd1]

Ninjas 600 are not air cooled. But I had a CBR 929 (it also is not air cooled) and it got so hot in 2005 i was sitting in traffic with shorts on and by te time I got to work it had cinged the hair on my legs.

Global warming "deniers"

Got one right here. Truely evil I am. I am going to get a leather jacket that says Denier on the back so people will know I am one tough bad evil percenter. Well some may think so anyway...
