No bugs, but a little chilly in the mornings. Made it hard to get out of the tent and pack up for the day.

I did the trip to Inuvik last time in 2 weeks from Seattle. The down side is that I was so focused on getting above the Arctic Circle that I missed some incredible places in Canada. Banff, Columbia Ice Fields and all of Alberta. Each rate a separate trip. Also, I went in early June, thinking it...

Well, I'd sure be interested in what you guys deside. It will certainly be an adventure.

I'd be glad to meet up too. Keep me posted. My dates are flexible.

The new road to Tuktoyatuk from Inuvik should be completed by now. I'm planning to check it out next May or June. It would be great to ride along with some other Teneres. I've made the trip up the Dempster Highway before and had a great time. Unfortunately, I live on the East coast and only have...

PM sent for pants

The SealMate also works great on the final drive seal. You would be surprised how much crap you can dig out of a seal. Its just a thin stiff piece of plastic shaped into a hook.

I think I'm the only S-10 in Delmarva. Been through several BMWs with no complaints. I might consider a Goldwing but the Tenere still runs great after lots of miles. +1 on the RTE, although I always have to work Mondays.

Damm gotta miss another one. Stupid anniversary. I just put new tires on to.

Welcome, I'm over on the Eastern Shore, us Marylanders should all get together sometime. There is always a RTE [ride to eat] the first Monday of the month. I usually take a trip down to the Dragon and up to Labrador every year. Be glad to have company.

The first time I adjusted my valves, I had just the usual trouble pushing the cam chain tensioner rod in. Now I'm doing the valves the second time and I can't get the tensioner to move in. I've read every post on cam chain tensioners we have but can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I...

I'm in, I've done it several times. I think its best to go early in June. The bugs aren't as bad and the icebergs are still in the Straits .

I bought the same windscreen off of Ebay. $36 with free shipping from Russia. Clamps on with no drilling. I replaced my CalSci tall windshield with it which was good for road riding but couldn't be lowered for slower dirt riding. I now have the stock short windscreen and the clamp on adjusted...

OOPs, BUMOT, good stuff and cheaper then some.

The worst way to take it off is to not click it down properly when you put it on. That way you can see it bouncing down the road in the rear view mirror. Its easier to do then you would think. As the box gets older and gets some dirt in the latch, I found its harder to get it to click down to...
