This article was posted today by the Skylands BMW Riders. Thank you Bob Spine.
It's an excellent and extensive article from the Iron Butt Association (dated 2010) about riding in the heat. The magic temp. is 93 degrees. Below that temperature riding isn't a problem for most people... above 93 is a different ball game. The article describes the issues with body temperature in heat.. and the last part discusses what you can do about it when riding.
Now I know why Don E. rides with his Aerostitch in the summer time... to block the wind to cut down evaporation (and to keep his body parts all-together in case he slides down the road).
Good reading.,,,
