I know all about too hot to ride, especially with all the gear we have to wear on the base. Our base now asks for ID, DL and MSF card. I ride to work if temps are between 45-95 and dry. Glad to hear you made it. Did you move your self or GOV move? My last two moves went great, one bent toaster and one scratched drawer.

Austin is at 52 days of 100*+ temps so far this year, and the A/C in my car went out last week.
See you next month!

Can't you get passed the DL and MSF card if you get a base sticker? 1. The AF no longer issues base stickers. 2. Too many young guys/gals were buying bikes and saying they got a new windshield or accidentally scraped their sticker off their car in the winter, so they got a new sticker and put it on their bike. We had 2 crash & die in a year, both with stickers registered to their cars on their bikes. The Base then went to DL & MSF card check, which is BS. I've been riding longer than most cops checking my crap have been alive. 3. My mesh Joe Rocket Jacket makes a huge difference when it is that hot though.

Hey chevman, why couldn't they just get a sticker for their bikes instead of lying about it?

In order to get a base sticker for a motorcycle, you have to complete a Motorcycle Safety Foundation riding class. Sometimes these classes have a 2-4 month waiting list. Recently, most bases have gotten a Military rider certified to teach so base members don't have to wait more than 2 months.
I know the Marines have mandated that Sport Bike riders get a special class for them that is taught by the Marines.
They are really pushing for base riding "clubs" or organizations so the young and dumb riders can ride with us older guys who have a brain on our shoulders and show them the right way to ride as well as small safe tips we have learned over the years.

We can't use a holder for our ID. They must physically touch it to ensure the ID is not counterfit. The nice thing is I know about 1/4 of the Gate Guards, so I pull up say hi and they let me thru.
