Well I guess we hit 100+ as I just checked it and at 5:30PM it is still 101.

The blasting heat wave smashes records from Boston to New York to Baltimore. The wicked heat will be around for at least one more day.

The 900SS, an air cooled bike that radiates tremendous amount of engine heat onto the rider
To make a confession, I have a cake commute.
About 9 miles and it is all reverse traffic and a total breeze with no traffic on my side whatsoever (the other side is bumper to bumper
). I usually always take the long way home as there are some great backroads I can take in lieu of the parkway. In fact, I was going to take the long way home, then stop at the gym but it was so hot, I just sped on home directly.

This year, we went from winter, hard a slight taste of spring, to a couple of days of summer, straight back into Autumn. Yesterday I stopped off at the bike shop that I use to service my Connie and the girl that usually works on it wasn't there. Talked with the shop owner and he said that coz of the poor weather this year, the riding season was a bust and not many people were out so he couldn't bring her on this year. Its so bad, that they are closing the shop for a couple of weeks to go visit Calgary.
Just set up camp in Osoyoos, cookin' here...

They said it hit 108 (42.2C) at Newark Airport in New Jersey on Friday. That's really hot for the Northeast US!
