Great advices👍 and funny story we should maybe say more painful story😀

As a Texas rider, 100 degree days are like a day in spring!

I wish each state would have mandatory motorcycle questions for ALL drivers to take when they apply for a license. Education of cagers would go along way to saving lives.

Does your Harley battery dies after sitting in the garage for a week?

Cue I've had those SOB's do that to me a few times and when the light turned green almost ran me over

thanks for a perfect video

Great video. Looks like KST bars on the 18 RG. Did any of the different bars you've had perform better than others in slow speed training? TAB or the custom ones you got for example

08 fxdl 55k, Rotella 10w 40 in engine(cold climate), Harley in primary, Amsoil or Redline in transmission ( used both now and no noticeable difference).

Thank you sir for posting this review

I used Mobil 1 in my Vmax with no issues. Switched over to Rotella T6 and still no issues and found that the bike shifted better. Rotella was half the price of Mobile 1 so I got a cost savings as a bonus. On my Harleys I use Redline for all three holes. 20-50 in the engine, Extreme sheer for the trans and their primary fluid. The motor is quieter and the trans shifts into neutral a lot easier. I buy the Redline box with all three fluids and the correct filter from Amazon.

Cue, One trick I’ve learned riding in Texas to stay cool: At gas stops, get a water and take it into the beer cooler to drink. Spending 7 minutes in the cooler while drinking water brings down your core temperature.

Funny story buddy 😂

Fieldsheer evaporative vest under a mesh jacket. Lowers temp at least 10 degrees.

I do not get to ride in the heat. It's always cold up here at the north pole.

Thanks brother, glad your mirror fix is still out here helping!

I have a 21” wheel on my 2014 HD street glide mine runs perfect!

Nice job but one suggestion: Instead of a wet t-shirt under your mesh jacket wear a soaking wet long sleeve cotton flannel shirt. It stays wet longer and cools your arms as well. It works better than the manufactured cooling vests out there.

Thank you for taking the time to put this video together.

Hard to find a II in my part of the world. Enjoyed your video.. Thanks.

Bro you post this after my old butt went across the desert

Ride early, daybreak till noon, take break during the hottest part of the day.

When I was in the army stationed at Ft. Stewart in the mid 80s we were near the ocean. There was a rumor that if you got sunburnt and went to sick call you could get an article 15. Fortunately my buddies and I never found out if it was true or not. One thing I do to keep cool is that I wear a thing long-sleeved shirt over a tshirt. When at a fuel stop I soak the long-sleeved shirt in water. Wow does it feel good untill it evaporates. A couple of yrs ago I rode to Death Valley. I soaked my shirt as usual but it was so hot that the shirt would evaporate within ten minutes.

How did you order the parts. My harley dealer said they can't get it for my 2012 street glide

a great Q&A sir....have a set of wings on order right now...keep up the great work my friend!

Indie ridge is some really good quality stuff. Highly recommend it.

I thought I couldn’t burn either. I went to urgent care later cause my skin blistered and I didn’t know what it was. It was sun burn.

I'm going to be riding out here in the middle east once my bike clears customs. 100F on a cool day right now, and supposedly it's not even the hot part of the year yet. I think I'm going to try freezing bottles of water and keeping them in the pockets of my mesh jacket.

Wow I actually found the only place online that has riding pants in my size and level 2 pads. Thanks for the promo code!

Many test have shown that white helmets lower the inside of the temperature by around 7* Black absorbed light versus white reflecting the light. My white helmet looks dumb against my new Whiskey Fire Street Glide...

I had the same thing happen to me in Hawaii with sunburn. Learned a hard and painful lesson. I use SPF skin care products all year now because I don’t EVER want that to happen again! Great video! Thanks for sharing!

I'm impressed you could rent a convertible from a car rental place

I worked at an H-D dealer. You TOTALLY MADE A MISTAKE. First production year vehicles are riddled with bugs. A man your apparent age should know this. Also, it's something NEW from H-D. History shows most of their new products are OVERPRICED PIECES OF $#!+. If someone GAVE me a BRAND NEW HARLEY-DAVIDSON t-shirt cycle, I'd sell it and buy 5 or 6 Japanese bikes. The WHOLE WORLD knows most any other bike is better than new H-D'S. Just sayin'...

I ride in the heat with an armored mesh jacket, ventilated Indie Ridge gloves and boots, and usually a neck gaiter to keep the sun off of my neck. When I reach a stop I often take the jacket off and put on a pair of UPF 50+ sun sleeves. I frequently get asked "Aren't you hot in that?" by guys who are sweating their buns off in t-shirts because they have nothing protecting them from the sun.

So it sounds like most of the Info is for HD motorcycles. I was looking for Info for riding on Hot Days Period. The Mesh Jacket does work though.

It’s been 114 degrees here almost daily for the last 3 weeks and we have another 2 months to go. This year I went with a DOT half helmet and the Ergodyne cooling vest. I haven’t been able to find a good mesh jacket so I’ve been squiding it. I too have used the wet the jacket method but it dries out within 10-15 minutes due to the highway riding. What I used to do was use a Camelback type water bladder and suck the cold water out and spit out, down my jacket, continuously wetting it down.

Good video. I wear Icon mesh overpants with shorts underneath them. I find this to be cooler than jeans, but my Klim mesh jacket is an oven to wear even it I am only wearing a tank top underneath the jacket and having it partially unzipped. Any suggestions as last year while returning from Atlanta in July, I got heat exhaustion? After cooling down in Wendy’s, I took the jacket off and wore my hi viz safety vest which has a level 2 back protector. My boots are my work boots-Timberland Pro Boondocks which are waterproof and with the reinforced heel and toe cap they offer better protection than my Harley Davidson boots. Gloves are CE2 rated from Sedici. Full face AGV helmet. I have a cooling vest (soaked in water), but it only lasts for one hour. It is a pain to wear all of this gear, but after watching a long time KZbinR who had an accident at 80 mph all was well except his work boots failed him and cost him his right foot. The gear was destroyed, but it saved his life.

I live in the northwest. We don’t have many 100 degree days here! But this is still all good information for our version of “hot” days. Sunburn! Oh yea: I rode my brand new Street Glide from Everett, WA to Death Valley this past May. On my way back my right wrist was painful and red. It took me awhile to figure it out: I wear a watch on my left wrist, but the small area of exposed skin between my mesh glove and mesh riding jacket on my right wrist got sunburned! Put sunscreen on all exposed skin! 😄

Gotta say, Ran Mobil1 in my prior bikes, when I finally joined the Harley club I initially went with Syn3. Then did more research after watching this vid. Last fluid change, back to Mobil1. Go with what you know.

I use Fram better then new harley filters

Yeah man, it's hot out there. Definitely have to stay hydrated. Cup holder is a plus. "God Sun tan lotion"😂.

Celsius gave great thought to making useful temperature gauge......he came up with 0 water freezes, 100 water boiles Kelvin thought he could do better.....0 is absolute zero and then increments are same as Celsius This guy Fahrenheit came along and said he could make a much more useful scale.........and he did, do you know what the parameters are that define his scale? Hint: its NOT to do with water freezing or boiling There's helmets that the chin guard goes all the way to back of your head.....one thing really handy in helmets is built-in sun shield, not as good as good sunglasses but much easier to flip up than remove sunglasses In Army I had couple bouts with heat exhaustion, now too hot is much lower temp than it used to be.....and because I'm old too cold is much higher temp than it used to be 100* I won't be out

Nothing against riders who ride in hot temperatures but there is no enjoyment in riding in temps that are reaching 100.

All good suggestions Cue. I wear a lot of black too and I’ve always wondered if a white helmet would be better in the summer.

Great points! The saying from my mountain bike days years ago was that if you wait until you're thirsty to drink then you are already dehydrated.

Dude that thing is awesome.

Definitely a miss conception that darker skinned people don’t get sun burned. We even get darker like lighter skinned people do from sun exposure.👍🏾

Is Sun Tan lotion the same as Sun Screen? We need the Sun Screen not the tanning. 😂

Be in 1st gear always great content Cue ✊🏽

Great information! Thanks for sharing.

Great stuff. I do love my mesh jacket. I also bought this vest that you soak in water for about 5 minutes. It works like a sponge and will keep you cool for a few hours. I laughed at those cup holders for a long time. I think I need to get one. Being dehydrated is not fun. Awe man. Sunburn is not fun!
