I wouldn't know. Middle of summer here in Seattle you'll still catch me with the heater on.

During rush hour, 85-90F is about all I can take with the A/C blaring. Anything more than that, and the top is up (with A/C blaring ).

If I'm going for a cruise (no traffic), I would say 100+ and the top would stay down. Keep in mind 100F days in Oregon are far and few between.

125 in the shade? Wow--must be nice. Wish we'd get a break in the summer and get a cool spell like that here in SC.

The limit here is when the direct sunlight might cause your head to burst into flames as opposed to simply melting--in the upper 90s or low 100s, I suppose. I run the AC year round so that's not a consideration.

I will keep the top down up to about 95 or so. After that it is cool riding with the top up and the a/c at full blast.

Unless it's raining, I put the top down all the time above 60 or so. If it gets too hot and humid, I just turn on the AC!

ugotmade - Surprised to see someone from LaGrange on here. Not a very big town. I have spent alot of time in Kinston and eastern NC over the years.
