Modern Vespa

You discover that in August, it takes only 2 fingers to drive your motorcycle.

You discover that you can get a sunburn through your face shield.

The birds have to use pot holders to pull worms out of the ground.

Farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hard boiled eggs.

The cows are giving evaporated milk.

The trees are whistling for the dogs.

You can say 110 degrees without fainting.

You eat hot chilies to cool your mouth off.

The temperature drops below 95, you feel a bit chilly.

You notice the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.

Hot water now comes out of both taps.

You can actually burn your hand on the clutch lever.

No one would dream of wearing shorts and sitting on a vinyl motorcycle seat!

Your biggest motorcycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?"

You realize that asphalt has a liquid state.

Riding breaks are measured by bottles of water rather than the need for gas.

Now that your yard has burnt, you do not have to spend time mowing but it is still to hot to ride.

You have to chew the air properly before you can swallow it.

The next person to ask you "Hot 'nuff for ya?" WILL receive a black eye.

Yup!

My improvement on one of them:
* You stop for ice water at least 10x as often as you stop for gas

(Maybe motorcyle dudes have to stop for gas more often)

Great write up and how true Brutal weather on the mainland Keep hydrated and ride safe. I have to be careful on REALLY hot days because it really effects my concentration which is not so good for safety reason's It's been dry here but out by me were getting a little rain. However it hasn't been a bad summer because we have had some steady trade winds which cool it off. I don't know why i'm thinking were going to have a hurricane this year but i do Hope not, but with the weather being all over the place it wouldn't surprise me
