Du-Rron Posted July 5, 2017 #1 Posted July 5, 2017 San Angelo, Texas is the 7th hottest city in America. We also burn along at 40%-50% humidity. Phoenix has a lower feeling "dry" heat at 21% (Panzies I say). You wanna test out your new v-twin mega-inch air-cooled motorcycle to see if it is "hot"... Bring it to San Angelo and we will let ya know. http://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/the-50-hottest-cities-in-america/ss-BBCXi1f?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=iehp#image=44
CaseyJ955 Posted July 5, 2017 #2 Posted July 5, 2017 That is nice and toasty. It will be 100 in the black Hills today which I thought was hot, most years we never break 100, besides its a dry heat
camos Posted July 5, 2017 #3 Posted July 5, 2017 It got up to 72F in the shade here yesterday and might hit 75 today. I'm feeling left out, well, maybe not.
slowrollwv Posted July 5, 2017 #4 Posted July 5, 2017 It was close to 92* here Monday and Tuesday but today about 78* and rain.
CaseyJ955 Posted July 5, 2017 #5 Posted July 5, 2017 It got up to 72F in the shade here yesterday and might hit 75 today. I'm feeling left out, well, maybe not. How long is your riding season again, 45 days? I was out in it today for work, it was 101, oddly enough I loved it, I think I could have ridden w/o being uncomfortable. Gotta admit I'm glad it doesnt get this warm to often.
camos Posted July 6, 2017 #6 Posted July 6, 2017 How long is your riding season again, 45 days? About 355 to 360 days.
CaseyJ955 Posted July 6, 2017 #7 Posted July 6, 2017 About 355 to 360 days. Aawww man, I got nuthin' to throw back now!
camos Posted July 6, 2017 #8 Posted July 6, 2017 Aawww man, I got nuthin' to throw back now! I know. although if you want to get down to the nitty gritty comparison, we do get quite a bit of rain which is not too pleasant for many.
CaseyJ955 Posted July 6, 2017 #9 Posted July 6, 2017 I know. although if you want to get down to the nitty gritty comparison, we do get quite a bit of rain which is not too pleasant for many. Ok, I feel better now. I had lived in Seattle area for 15 years. The relentless rain was third only to unbearable traffic and soul-crushing overpopulation. I guess I'll be content with sometimes harsh winters and sweet spring/summer/fall here in rural South Dakota:sun: . Take THAT!
Flyinfool Posted July 7, 2017 #10 Posted July 7, 2017 40-50% humidity? I dont even know what that little feels like. We hit 92 today but with 90% humidity
Barrycuda Posted July 7, 2017 #11 Posted July 7, 2017 40-50% humidity!? That's amateur night here in Florida. We get 90% humidity before the sun even comes out. Even the sun doesn't want part of this. I'd LOVE 40% humidity...
CaseyJ955 Posted July 7, 2017 #12 Posted July 7, 2017 The dry climate here makes both the extreme highs and lows feel less extreme. Truly not everyone can handle the winters, just as not everyone can handle the rain of other localities. I cant think of anywhere else (within North America) that I would rather live. MT, WY and parts of NE and ND are also correct answers
Sailor Posted July 7, 2017 #13 Posted July 7, 2017 Went for a ride today. Saltspring to Port Renfrew on Vancouver Island. Nice 80 degrees on Saltspring. Nice 75 in Port Renfrew. Over 100 going over the hump between them.
Sailor Posted July 7, 2017 #14 Posted July 7, 2017 "Dry heat". Isn't that what a turkey gets while it is being roasted in the oven?

I guess I'll be content with sometimes harsh winters and sweet spring/summer/fall here in rural South Dakota:sun: . Take THAT! We get way less rain here than in Seattle. This place is special, hiding in the rain shadow of the Olympics to the south and in the rain shadow of mountains to the west. Victoria 23.95" - Seattle 37.5" - Black Hills 10"-20" No inversion layer like in Seattle either. Edited July 7, 2017 by camos

Victoria 23.95" - Seattle 37.5" - Black Hills 10"-20" No inversion layer like in Seattle either. It sounds quite pleasant over there. The parts of Canada I have seen were quite nice, Ill never go to VBC again though! Last time I was there I was riding my Triumph, the last year you cound enter Canada w/o a passport. It was beautiful and the weather was perfect. I ran across some southern parts and didnt go to far north, it was pretty rural and very clean. The ladies up there were sure lovely too, yup. I can definitely see the appeal to living in Canada. It may be time for another tour, by fall I should be living reasonably close to the border. Is there any chance you would take Justin Beiber back though?
