[QUOTE="101stpathfinder, post: 919243, member: 18625"] I had planned on attempting the UCCC ride in June next year. Some situations have changed and have cut down on the amount of time that I am willing to spend on this ride, yet I still would like to make it. My questions are piling up as I am trying to plan this ride out. I pretty much know what the FJR can do as far as time/distance...The problem is that I am not taking the FJR, I am riding a bike that I really am quite ignorant about. Here are some photos of my Dakar. It is a '05 (Single) 650cc with only 8,000 miles on the clock. It came with Givi side cases and I have added a trunk and a Bill Mayer seat. I know many here on the forum know this bike better than I do.

I know I will be able to secure another 4 or more days. I would like to make Fairbanks from Key West in 4 days. Another day up to Deadhorse, then 5 days to return to Key West. Is this schedule too aggressive for this bike? Spare tires? Extra fuel? Farkles needed? ANY advice or suggestions would be great. Thanks, Tony [/QUOTE]
