It's a "dry" heat huh..?

This will be a quick one… Hot is hot, and when it hits 115+ here in Arizona, I can assure you that it doesn’t feel 95, 85, or even slightly under 100…lol. Today we had our first summer tip over in the parking lot. The customer came in, tossed down his side stand, and in about 5 minutes it was lying flat in the parking lot. Nothing damaged, other than the asphalt. Nice hole where the kick-stand was freed.

Here’s The Helmet Harbor, LLC  “stay as cool as you can during the Arizona summer” tip of 2009.


Head to Walmart, buy a personal misting system (Misty Mate), and toss the bottle inside your tank bag. Route the mister up to your handlebars, aim the nozzle straight up, and open it when your get moving. The mist will hit the wind, drift back to you, and drop the temp about 20 degrees…

Yes, in Arizona, staying cool isn’t a luxury. It’s simple survival…lol.
