I did not take any pictures during the trip! I Had to meet a guy up there so I didn't stop except for gas (and was not necessary). But you are right, these trips are worth some pictures.

The temp gouge went down to zero. And I think it did that becouse the engine was running cold. My engine will only reach 60 when in the city or running on primary roads. It is true that a lot of heat is produced, as it really warm my legs, but the gouge will only indicate 60 or a little more.

When climbing the mountain, It wouldn't rev past 8k plus the rich condition plus air temp probably at 20C...

I had checked the gouge in the past earthing it and it does indicate up to max so I believe it works OK.
