I have been practicing for this ride by wearing my heated vest and gloves with the temp
set on high.

I can vouch for the Beadrider beaded seats. I used them on my Nomad and they were awesome for getting a little air to "the boys" and keeping my ass from burning up. I still have them but haven't yet tried them on my Vic....hhhmmmm.....got me thinkin' now.....

The rally is still 2 weeks off. How can you put any faith in a weather guess that far out?

In all seriousness...check this out.

If believable it will be in high 80's - low 90's during the rally. I know that doesn't help when travelling to & fro through the desert (most of us) but is better than 100's.

We will make the best of it!

We are in Kalispell right now. Sunny and hot. Headed to Canada tomorrow to loop to Pacific Coast then down to Columbia river valley and follow that up to Orifino. I will take hot and dry over all other choices.
