I like summer the best too. Heat doesn't really bother me at all. Don't have to pack extra clothes. Lights aren't a big concern. I've even taken to leaving my backpack at home and using a small saddlebag. This winter was the harshest around here in my area so I'm really appreciating summertime. One thing I've noticed though is drivers are harsher in their attitudes in summer as opposed to winter when you tend to get more respect. Oh well.
