Subject: Winter driving
Winter driving is fun (At least here in Norway on nice white snow)
The AT works very well in winter. Does always start, even in -25 degrees. (of course: even in winter it takes some time to start it when not used for a few days).
First MC meeting this year was 3-4 january (in tent in the woods of Norway). With me, passenger and a lot of equipment the ATs weight was 480 kg! But still no problems on the snowy roads.
The next meeting for me is 30 jan to 1 feb.
And the most famous Norwegian Winter MC meeting is the weekend 20-22 february. You should try this one. A lot of swedish, danish and german riders join in. I can give directions if you want to attend. It is just about 150 km form Oslo on nice but not difficult roads. This one is just as famous in Scandinavia as Elefantentreffen in Germany.
I use heated hand grips, homemade heated visier on helmet and Trelleborg tires with spikes(Army Special). I would like to have heated shoes, but have note made this yet.
