Posted
by
There’s a long line of shiny new 2018 Gold Wings parked outside our hotel in Austin, Texas. A beautiful sight, but there’s something wrong with the picture – I can see my own breath. Usually it’s around 20C around here, but a freak cold snap has forced temperatures into minus figures. WORDS: Mikko Nieminen,…
