[QUOTE="Pterodactyl, post: 1392792, member: 76805"] When the late John Ryan was preparing for his record run from Deadhorse to Key West he stayed at our place in Fairbanks for several days. It took John three tries to get to Deadhorse. The first time he was thwarted by ice on Atigun Pass. Jack Gustafson rode with John on a KLR and Jack was able to get the KLR up the pass. Jack enjoyed ribbing John about this, but Jack has ridden the Haul Road over a dozen times. On the second attempt John got a flat in the vicinity of Coldfoot. He had to use [U]seven[/U] sticky strings to get the tire to hold air well enough to limp back to Fairbanks while needing to put air in the tire regularly. On his third attempt, John made it to Deadhorse, but in the back of a truck after he lost most of the oil out of his bike from a hole a rock punched in his oil pan. He was able to get the hole welded in Deadhorse and the rest is history. [/QUOTE]
