I'm not trying to be a smartbutt, but when it gets hot enough here for A/C which is rare;
I just move to motorcycles.

I know that may not be too practical back east, as I was in NC for 11 years, and those summer thunderstorms COULD make riding instead of driving very impractical.

To who it may apply: Have your drought situations allowed you more carefree weather wise motorcycle riding than other years, or is there still much dry lightning potential?
