Right this might sound like a joke but it's a serious serious issue.
I have left my bike out in the sun under a cover today, when I sat on it after work it genuinely BURNT MY FUCKING ARSE!!! My arse is now in absolute agony and I feel like I've been done by a cactus up there... so number 1 bikers be careful leaving your bike in the sun as I wouldn't wish this on anybody... and number 2 does anybody have and good burn remedies for an arse crack!!   |

Any nappy rash cream will help,did the same thing in the south of France had to cover 350 miles with a burnt arse. Bought some cream looked like nappy rash cream and was next to the baby stuff, but label was in french a limited language for me! |

"Oh also how would people suggest cooling the seat down without making it soaking wet to sit on?!"
Put a towel on it and sit on that, can even put the towel in the freezer if you have access. |

"Not had this problem before but then again I always put my leather gimp suit on "
When I'm at work I go in my work trousers I think I'll have to start going in my actual biker gear I can't be having this all summer!!! |

"Leather gear is not ideal in this weather you will have sweaty bollocks all day long 
"
Better than a burnt arse crack! It feels like if I have left that magic powder on my starfish too long!! |

Better sweaty balls than burnt crack. My kevlar jeans have been good. |

A lot my riding these days is in mountain passes, I don't bother much with armour, it's hot and if I stuff it up the gravel rash will only hurt for a few seconds before I hit the bottom
In the UK then I tend to use Kevlar jeans and jacket. Not as good as leather but a reasonable compromise between comfort and safety. |

If I'm going for a proper ride then I'll wear full gear but up and down to work which is literally about a mile away I wear whatever I'm working in that day... which I am regretting right now! |

I do get some odd looks tearing around the dolomite mountains in linen trousers and a cotton shirt. But the locals are in shorts so I am slightly safer dressed.
Like you I tend to be quite lax in safety gear when just popping down the road, but I do know better really. Used to race a lot of years ago seen some incredible survival stories thanks to kangaroo leather.
Try a bag of frozen peas on the seat tomorrow |

Between your arse crack and a hot seat... don't think you will get much to snack on 
Perhaps a sheepskin seat cover is the answer, or some freeze spray that plumbers use to freeze pipes... bottom line is this is the UK, won't be a problem in a week or two. Then it will be keeping warm and dry again |

"Sheepskin cover? What is this? Sounds like a rug for my arse "
Think it may be the origin of the phrase hairy arsed bikers seen a few of them and shook my head in distain, but they may make sense for this weather. |

"Most bike seats tend to be black, black absorbs heat, white reflect heat so try covering the seat with a white towel or t-shirt, or tin foil... shiny side up!
As for the ass... Bag of frozen peas"
Last time I take your advice I tried covering my ass in frozen peas and she kicked me in the balls now I have sore balls as well  |

Have the sore balls taken your mind off your burnt ass? You're welcome!
