Top case looks funky

I think I am in the queue, just waiting to hear back from Ivan.   - D

I am out guys...FJR wouldn't start and then missed the only good ferry time when I jumped in the truck. I will start a different thread on te FJR issue...the rest is just the result of life choices. Hoping to see most of you in August... perhaps at the Isle of Lopez? Tour de Lopez?

Well...my tire showed cords today at 3200 miles. Getting a PR2 spooned on that I carried up with me at the local Yamaha joint in Anchorage. We will be doing AuburnFJR' tires for his trailer this evening. Today's other fun was a shot bearing on my trailer... we did a Nascar stop on the side of...

Hey all, we are having a blast. We have been cranking the miles and the hours but will be slowing down for the next several days. We will mosey to Denali NP for a couple of days, then to Kenai Peninsula for a couple more. I put on a Pirelli 90/10 tire this trip. It is the first time I have...

I tried the caps inboard - but there was a a bit of metal that the cap would have rested on and thus an undue amount of pressure when I tightened it down.

Ahhh....Grandpa's old car. It's a 1972 Satellite Sebring, same body as the Road Runner. Wife and I are arguing on a build to make a sweet Road Runner clone or a make it all original. 62,000 miles, runs great, all there. G - thanks for the help the other day, it was great seeing you and...

You have some nice ideas there, I'm going to think on it. I was worried about wing nuts and I have tools handy always - but a hassle is a hassle. I might be able to build a simple sleeve of rubberish material for the whole thing and then it would be shock mounted top and bottom with the...

Thx for the tip, I will keep an eye on them. I shook the snot out of them testing, but I know they won't leak until its inconvenient.

Since I am about to embark on Alaska Adventure #3, this time around affectionately called the "Trip Through the Frozen North" I decided I needed a better place to carry extra gas. This is a 16 day, 6500+ mile trip that departs from Seattle that will touch the Arctic Circle and will visit North...

I would like the Zumo 550 if still available. Send me a PM if so, and I will work out the details with you.

Jeff, you were my go-to in the early years of my FJR'ing...I appreciated the great service and the "voice" on the phone. I wish you all the best. David

Wow. I mock bicyclists on long trips most of the time, but I like Jim. What is one to do? Impressed none the less and will be watching.

The missus has the official confirmed animal sighting count, these numbers do not include any seen in Denali National Park. Just the one's we found tooling around: 1 weasel 1 caribou 1 fox 2 wild sheep 13 bears 20 moose 75+ bison deer (did not count) Eagles, otters, seals, whale...

@Panman...there is NOTHING better than the first night combo of your own shower and your own bed. I did not want to get out of either one.

All home safe and sound...we will catch up with the pictures later. Did a lot of dodging animals today...more than the rest of the trip combined. A moose scare this morning and almost got a double/double with a pair of bear cubs just coming into Hope. Total miles just shy of 6500.

We promised the ladies quality time at Liard Hot Springs, so a couple of short days in front of us to make that work out. Then we point home and turn the dial up a bit on miles.

Gin and Fresca. Change your life. Especially after a whole bunch of miles of wet clay. Yes, the slippery kind.

Road to Valdez...beyond awesome. Pics to follow someday. Auburn FJR almost got a moose...or maybe the moose almost got him. All OK in the end, but it was amazing to see the moose fall completely on its ass trying to turn around so quick. It was a close one...he also nearly shortened a fox...
