Talkeetna Alaska 2014








On April 5, 2013 my friend Bostjan (aroundtheworld.si) and I took a ride up to Talkeetna Alaska.
We were the first bikes of the season.

A week or two later went up with a friend of mine from NuttyNu his screen name of
ADV rider


A couple of weeks ago a friend that I had met on ADV Rider got together to ride up to Talkeetna.
It was pretty warm and I decided to take my muffs off my handle bars. Jeff mentioned that he hadn't installed his heated hand grips yet, I have them on my bike.  So we gave it a go, well the temperature during the ride was 34deg F our speed was 60-65 MPH. The temperature across our bodies was -8Deg. My heated grips were not doing the job Lol. We only got half way

I put the muffs back on, Jeff installed his heated grips And we decided to do it again.

  1. Congrats on being the first motorcycles.....can't bring myself to call them bikes. Bikes, you pedal. The muffs are key in cold weather, as you found out, the wind really sucks the heat out of things.

  2. I would agree about the effectiveness of the handlebar muffs. I'd say they are more important than simply heated grips as I rarely use the heated grips unless it is like -10°F or something like that.

    Nice pictures.
