We're praying for Nathan and for the whole family.
Thanks to you Yazz for passing along the "SPOT" info to me also, I had ten people monitoring it every day, some of the e-mails I got back when we were on the ferry and I forgot to tell people that we...
Glad your up and running again. Remember when I had the "Orange Screen" problem between Wasilla and Tok and you suggested that some crud from the road might have gotten into the brake linkage; well...
I thought it would be interesting to know how many Spyder riders have ventured from the lower 48 to Alaska and back on their bikes. I know that Yazz and I have done it; has anyone else?
This will be the first of a series of critiques covering my trip to Alaska and return. Some of my views may not coincide with yours but they may lead to some constructive discussions. First and...
I'm 74.5
We made it! Cheyenne to Alaska and return. Had an uneventful ride the last 440 miles and pulled into Cheyenne around 3:15pm. The last three days took some of the steam out of me, feeling a little...
Almost home, made it to Ogden UT after a long day of riding and one stop to see some friends in Boise ID. Weather was great for riding except for the winds from Boise area to Twin Falls,...
Wouldn't you know it right after I posted the above we pull up at the reasturant an in comes another Spyder. Seems that Gold Wing was having a regional rally and he (George) was attending with his...
Day twentynine how time flys when your'e having fun. Got the wives to the airport in Bellingham and all checked in for the flight back to Denver. Had to wait a little while for the driver to come...
Scheduled to disembark at 8:30 am but the Ferry arrived early so they started to call for us to "start our engines" at 8:00am, the experienced traveler(rides this ferry lots) was ready for this turn...
Still enroute to Bellingham, another day of relaxing and reading. No doubt about it when the channel is calm you can't help but enjoy the scenry and relax. Strolled around the deck a little more...
Day Twentysix started with mechanical breakdown to one of the ferry's driveshafts which caused the Ferry to pull into the port of Petersburg for inhouse repairs, unfortunately by the time the repair...
Day Twentyfive started in a fog,(literally.) The fog bank was with us for almost 4 hours so the early morning sightseeing was held to a minimum. However, when we got through the fog bank we were...
Checked out of the Chilkoot River Lodge and headed for Haines downtown area for a little sightseeing and maybe a little shopping, We told the wives that if they couldn't carry it on their person they...
Day Twentythree slept in and found out that the motel turned off breakfast at 9:00 AM, bout ready to take back my apology from yesterday, not like I needed it but wanted it. Decided that since it...
Yesterday I indicated that the Captains Choice hotel was a "dump". That was said in the heat of the moment when I found out that they had misrepresented the rooms. Even though the place is old and...
Another fun day in sunny or rainy or both Alaska. Left Destruction Bay dressed for cold but before long added raingear. Road was good between Dest. Bay and Haines Junction albeit a little wet (so...
Thanks canam sam for the response I'll call both to see who can get me in.
Thanks for the service center name Yazz; you're right on about a new level of mudding especially when they are filled with water and you can't tell how deep they are. Got lucky yesterday was going...
Got to sleep in this morning, Yeh! Since we had such a short distance to go today thought it might be nice to make a lazy day out of it. Stopped at Buckshot Bettys for breakfast (great food) before...
Left Tok after a great breakfast at Fast Eddys, introduced our wives to the giant cinnamon buns, they are still great. The road was marked with great Potholes, loose gravel and rough surfaces but we...
Day nineteen started out with the ladies donning longjohns and bundling up for a cold ride, which is was. We thought since it was so nice in Wasilla it would continue, but as soon as we got to Palmer...
Another rather slow day for number eighteen; but considering that Russ and I had to meet the wives at 1:30 AM at the Alaska International Airport the fact that we did anything is acceptable. After a...
As of this afternoon I have 10155 miles and we're only halfway through our Cheyenne to Alaska and return trip.
Left Wasilla after making a few stops to pick up supplies for the wives and gasing up. Arrived in downtown Anchorage around noon and decided it was too nice to sit around the hotel waiting for the...
Day sixteen recovery day for both body and soul. Went to a small church here in Wasilla (Christian Fellowship) this morning and were well received by the congregation, naturally everyone wanted to...
Woke up this morning and found out my legs didn't work very well, seems that riding that boat for 6 hours worked muscles that my body had long ago forgotten about. Well it was another day of rain...
Well when we got underway this morning it was cold and a hint of rain was in the air, in fact the forecast for Seward was for cloudy with showers. The ride down highway 1 was wet roads but things...
Day thirteen was a down day while we got our bikes serviced, Russ had to drive several miles(20+) through a major rain storm to get to the Honda dealer while I had to go across the street less than a...
