I Got A Blister Riding(Heat)

[Louie Louie]

Ok...first of all I am not selling my bike.

On my way to Colorado I went thru some extreme temps in CA & UT. I felt some heat on my left ankle area(facing the engine). I wore Givi boots and regular socks. When I arrived in Cedar City I had an ugly blister(more like a 2nd degree burn). The folllowing days I put a bandage and made sure my socks and boots were covering the area. No more problems but I still have a scar from it. Anyone had this problem.?

Whats up??

Nope. But that's alot of heat if that is how it happened.

If you had heat in you boots high enough to cause a blister on your skin, you would have known about it LONG before you arrived at your destination.

I'd suspect the boots/socks and long-distance vibration abrasion as the culprit before heat.

Yes indeed. I think it was a combination of things including temps of 108 near Las Vegas. Also, I think I had my left foot partly rubbing against the engine itself.
Thanks

I rode through Red Bluff Ca on tour @ 105 degs and nothing got burned. Was wearing full gear and hot as hell though. Probably a friction/chafing thing.

Louie,

I had blisters on my right shin after riding through the CA desert on I-10 in 118 degree temperature. Yes, blisters formed. It's also the first time I've ever felt uncomfortable with the heat off the engine. Then again I was completely miserable and that injustice was just one more thing.

This September, I went through the AZ/CA desert and it hit 111F! It was like riding in an oven but I had no blisters so could it have been chaffing like someone else mentioned?

And I say this. I would take 111F with very low humidity over Long Island, NY's 90F and 90% humidity! The latter is unbearable.
