experience tells me its juST before I throw up like juST out of Charters Towers FNQ  going to get the coffinbox laST year, or almoST pass out, like I did in front of  :law at STh Hay on the way across the Hay Plains headed to National Rally Perth.
40>45 C is juST about it for me, don't matter how much I STay hydrated with electrolytes and water.. But always ATGATT... might inveST in a new mesh jacket though.

Yes that ride across to Perth was a fairly hot one, when we stopped for fuel in Griffith, temp was in mid 40’s and I downed 3 litres of water at the bowser without blinking an eyelid. Stopped at an airconditioned KFC, for a couple of thick shakes . . Many beers consumed at the overnight stop at Balranald that night.
