[QUOTE="JR'SFJR, post: 920420, member: 7256"] Tony, Don't know if you know Kevin Healey from from your back yard? He sends out emails to many of us for lunch meetings about once a month. Understand it's whats left from an old Triumph group. They meet tonight at John Bull English Pub(801 Village Blvd. WPB) at 7:00 for whoever wants to show up, chat, and eat. He is a LD rider, has competed in 2007 and 2009 Iron Butt on an older Triumph. A couple of years ago, he purchased a used BMW 650 single just for the ride to Alaska and the haul road. Thought it was a great bike for the trip and the only BMW he cares about. Says he rode 100k that year!!!! I doubt he rode the mileage your talking about doing each day on the 650, but might have great advice. I have ridden up twice(early 90's and 2010), but never the haul road. I ride what gravel I need to, but hate dust and the taste!! The FJR is a great bike for the trip, but if you hit rain on the Haul Road, it will be challenging. Good luck. Jim [/QUOTE]
