In my career I have seen countless riders dressed like those in the photo wind up in a burn unit because of contact with the planet at any speed. it’s just not worth the risk. Yes, it gets hot. Use cooling gear, drink lots of water, take breaks more often. ATGATT!

Nope, i go with mesh jacket or Goretex with lotsa vents when it is hot. I gots mosta my skin intact at 60 yrs old and ain’t gonna give it up now if sump’n untoward happens to happen. I do not want some ER nurse coming at me with a scrub brush to clean grit outta road rash. Might just do me in.

Yes I totally agree…we have learned how to stay cool with gear and cooling vests are not that expensive and work too
Sweating is better than road rash – t-shirt here – http://www.zazzle.com/grrrlx
I wear gear at all times as well – my personal record was 110 F 🙂
nice T Shirt
Squids!
