Looking good Doug! I bet you and Bernie had a great time. Did you use any fuel from the rotopax or was it just security?

 

[Doug C]

Not for us, rescued a stranded motorist who had run out of gas. Have carried it all over but not had to use it in the bike yet. Close a few times. We had a great trip for sure.

Looking good Doug!

Except it's blue ..... some things you just can't fix. ::012:: ::025:: Three of us rode back with Dougie and the boys and did Telegraph Creek road. BOO-YAH !!!! Absolutely beautiful. I'll post a pic or two later on. Gotta do it every year now. R

Looks good, the weather was with you at least there. Did it stay dry the whole way? Travelling alone?

Some rain and a thunderstorm near Tombstone but not enough to be a problem. Lot's of thunder heads around and a few sprinkles but my luck held and I avoided most of the heavy stuff! There was heavy rain in the evening and overnight at Rock River but I was in my tent. I think the road had been dry for long enough that it just soaked up the rain anyway. Even the long stretches of bare dirt south of Eagle Plains were packed and fairly dry, so you could run at illegal speeds. Roadworks were the killer - 6 inches of churned up gravel. mud and calcium chlorate solution made it like riding in muskeg.

I rode north with another tenere rider I met in Dawson ...

... but came back on my own except meeting other folk on the ferries. Loose gravel and strong cross winds near the territorial border on the way back made it interesting for a while.

The dust was the issue, not the rain. This Versys went into a corner too hot and into the dust cloud of a semi heading the other way, then into the soft margin of the highway and the rest is history ...

Good to hear it went well for you. I haven't been up that road yet. Heard lots of horror stories if it rains and there is always road construction/destruction. Definitely a good place to have a travel companion.

My bike on Day 7 of my 10 day trip through California (From Socal i went up the Sierra's to Crater Lake and then down the coast.) I learned each day how to more efficiently pack my motorcycle. I took that pic in The Avenue of the Giants!
