wear full clothing( i mean jacket & gloves) to protect from sun stroke & wear a wet cloth arnd ur nect so that u wont dehydrated & keep it wet by soaking it in water whenever u stop... also if ur properly covered i.e. no body part showing then it will help in hydration & also u'll feel less tired..

p.s. another desi nuskha is keeping a slice of onion under ur armpit which will save u from sun stroke but then u'll be stinky

no wet cloth buddy
will cause an headache!!!
have lots of water.. say like 1 glass(200 ml ) every 20-30 minutes..
wear a jacket(denim)(no leather or ull be bathing in sweat)..
cover ur neck with a wet cloth if u want.. datll be much much better

yeah,...have that wet cloth around ur neck...u have to keep the nape of ur neck wet to avoid sunstroke..and yes, full clothing is a must.
Carry some water with u to have atleast every hour...
If ur face starts to sweat, then open the visor for just a bit to let the air in or it can get too stuffy inside ur helmet.
Everytime u stop, stretch and dont let ur body get exhausted under the heat.
...in a few days, I might be just going to Agra...so, well guys, any more tips for me too?

carry lotsa glucon c instead of water and drink that... i think that's better than wet cloth etc

yeah carrying a packet of glucose or a bottle of water with glucose in it is also a good option.. but the wet cloth is necessary if its 40+ hot & dont worry it be comfy & dry before u'll know it.. its also necessary coz the heat is very try in the norther regions & neck is the only area which cannot be covered completely by jackets etc & even if they do it will coz sweating which will coz dehydration

Very very important lessons from my trip recently in heat.

1. Dont carry glucose. Carry Electral Packets. Every hour or so dunk one packet in a litre of water and consume as much as u can. Every hour one litre of electral should enter you system.

2. Riding for long hours in heat makes the skin on the shoulders burn and it starts to peel off after a day or so. Put a wet towel on ur shoulders then wear the tshirt then the jacket. During stops just pour a lil water on the shoulder to dampen towel inside.

3. If possible take a night ride - DONT RIDE IN THE HEAT - its useless. I'd rather take my chances in the nite rather than riding in the heat.

It's mostly summers only when we go to hill stations and therefore hours of journey in severe heat. I too tie up wet cloth around face that cover upto neck and wear cotton gloves and drop some water on gloves also (only upper part not on palms). An ultra-light windcheater will work. This gives you very comfortable feeling. Try this, you'll love it. I have never suffered from headache due to this.I have been doing it for years.

wow..thx a lot guys.. nice tips
finally i am thinkin of wearin a tshirt and jeans with a cloth jacket.
will carry glucose mixed in water.

hey desi nuskha:will have lots of lassi from highway dhabas..

also,i will b drivin around 90-95 plus it will so hot so air inside tyres will expand. many mags say that one shd keep air pressure above normal for highways.. hhml says 30psi in rear for single rider.
i will be keepin 32 takin into consideration my weight (83kgs) plus weight of luggage n continous drivin n the heat of the road..
is 32 ok? or shall i keep it 33-34?

woo .. then what about the sweating after wearin all that clothing ??

hey tushalb,didnt read ur post while i was replyin back..ok i will carry Electral Packets..

thx viveksh for d tips.. i know u hv been many trips.. i will definately use ur tips man..

thats y was sayin that mcdonalds shd be the place for g2g..atleast i will b able to freshen up in the loo after the journey

Yes bunny it happened to me and Rookie a day after we got back from a day long ride in the heat. We started early and reach late evening. 650 kms..
See the sun beats down on u and the most exposed part is ur shoulder.

dude.
take lots of fruit juice before starting off.
and even take watermelon juice if u find on way.
got lots of glucose in it.
see that u dont lose vitamins so keep taking other juices also.

chill man...
y r u taking so much of pain & punishing ur body ???
.
what will happen, if all of sudden u becomes drowsy due to heatstroke or something like that ...???[?] they don't give u any warnings b4 hitting u ...!!!
If that happens, then my dear friend, u will open ur eyes on the hospital bed ... !!! sorry for being rude/harsh...[}]
.
do the following, instead of all things suggested so far ...
pick the keys of your car, start car, switch on the AC, drive to ur destination in ultra-comfort... no need to carry electrol, glucose, wet towels, diapers, etc... Infact in your car you will be 'carefree & stayfree & stainfree ...' ... !!![]
.
second option is ...
come out of ur home, sit in an autorickshaw, reach ISBT Kashmere Gate, sit in a Deluxe Bus, stretch yourself whenever you want to, relax, enjoy, read, listen to music, sleep, do whatever you can do ... []
.
what say buddy ...
.
I mean y 2 take so much of pain just for few hours of stay there & more hours of journey in scorching sun ...[?]
I know that u LOVE BIKING but that fun factor can take a backseat for the timebeing & if you stayed healthy then u can fulfil your appetite for biking in nice weather ...[8D]
.
think about it & decide ...
