I made it

I love the hippo hands (although I think that's a brand name and mine are not that brand). They take a little getting used to because it can be difficult to operate the turn signals and bright lights, but that could depend on the brand, I suppose. They do a great job of keeping the wind off your hands and wrists and work wonderfully with heated grips.
Congrats on the miles, Mickey. Also, not sure of your math, but it's an impressive feat, regardless.
