Going to Colorado from sea level - Guest - 06-11-2009

I live at sea level - literally - I live in a harbor. I'm planning on taking my '86 Interstate over some pretty high passes in Colorado in two weeks.
Has anyone done this on a 'wing?
Will the bike run OK with a generous load of me plus camping gear?

your aspy will have no problems,it wont have quite as much power but you'll just have to keep an eye on the water temps etc while on long uphills etc. just use some common sense but i'm sure there are others here that have done it pullong trailers etc
