Big K did great loaded down with luggage and 2 healthy sized ahem people aboard. I remarked to my wife several times how satisfying the engine is. Never a lack of power to pass long lines of cars even at high elevation. Heated seats and grips (and Gerbings liner for the wife) came in handy yesterday in the rain and temps down into the 40s at 10K feet over the Mirror Lake road. Smoke got really bad and things got ethereal second part of the day yesterday. Hope any forum members in CA are safe!
