have had the bike out for a few weeks now last Fri went to Seward and to Homer on Sat.
Hands got so cold that for the first time I really thought about heated grips or gloves.
all week long it was beautiful great for after work rides to Cooper Landing plan on a Anchorage run next weekend.

Hello

The picture was taken at the top of Turnagain pass. No Harley's do not run hot in South Centeral Alaska. they might run hot in the Interior.
