I might be up for that as well, if you boys aren't gonna get too rowdy. I'd want to do an up and back in a day though, as I'm not set up for camping very well. Get as far as I can then head 'er back to Faro. YOu guys are probably a heartier bunch than I am. I've done a lot of overnighting in the bush, but mostly out of a boat so size and weight of gear wasn't a concern. I never leave home without my 4" foamie. R

Now you're talking. Although it's just a hare ... uh, hair ... on the pink side for me.
Is that yours or ..... never mind. It's probably waaaay more information that I require. R

Up and back in a day might be tough, particularly if Old Squaw is the target. There are a couple of water crossings I believe and fuel will be an issue. I am not sure of the range on the SupaT, maybe 400km - that round trip will be more like 500km.rem said:
but hey, you are riding a 100hp scooter it will handle a 4" foamy no problem. These rigs will do two up with a full load of gear I am sure. And nothing rowdy for me, I am getting old and the testosterone has dropped way off.

No, I'd just go up maybe 4 hours and then back ... wherever that took me.

I am off next week, I know a little ambitous but I have a feeling the scoots might show up. Do my 600 mile Skagway/Haines loop, quick service, throw on the panniers and if the tires look decent head north? If next week does not fly, then I may try to shake a couple more days another week. I am doing an overnight in Van for work, fly out early 24th back the evening of the 26th. Could do a trip 27th-??
A long weekend would do it, I am sure we will get a chance to talk more as we drool and wait at the shop for our bikes to be set up. Last one out the door is a rotten egg...yukondood said:
Out for a ride last night on the WR, as I was bombing down the ditch near the scales spotted a truck with "toy" crates. Zipped closer and was disappointed to see the rig full of arctic cat crates. Good for someone - not me!!
My spidy senses tell me the bikes are in town, at a warehouse and the lazy buggers won't deliver until Monday!! Sleepless in Whitehorse...
Off to pound more single track.

Yep, another one. Us northerners know what works up here :exclaim: I've been patiently waiting since the winter bike shows.
It gave me time to accumulate a VERY large farkle pile (AltRider, Wasp & my C/C companys love me, wife not so much)

Northern trucks only deliver 1 color Raven!!! Then it gets Blk Altrider everthing > Pelican cases, Arrow carbon can,
Smoke color MRA Vario windscreen.
As you can tell I like a wide variety of colors. I am also going to cover some of the plastics with 3M di-noc carbon wrap
