The weather shouldn´t be a problem. Fuel is high octane, consider availability. The tires are very good and do not grab at road cracks or road snakes (black tar filled grooves). Reliable steed. Check for leaking engine valve seals on the new bike. H-D put out 2 bad sets and got it right on the 3rd try but you have to find the problem - no recall. I have found it to be a good idea to invest in a battery tender to keep the battery at its peak. Just plug it in after a ride. Will allegedly extend battery life also.
