[QUOTE="101stpathfinder, post: 920690, member: 18625"] Thanks Eric, I was hoping for your advice with the chain issues you (She) had in the IBR, I knew that topic would be a major concern. This ride is a must for me. If I don't do it in June- I won't do it ever. My wife and I will tour Alaska at a later time, so this is a cert. ride for me. I want to be recovered and ready to start learning how to rally by late summer. After a conversation I had with Smitty, I have ALMOST decided to take the FJR. I am reconsidering the bike that I will be taking. As far as the route "At night" and not seeing much... The first 1750 miles of that ride are VERY familiar to me. I have done that ride/drive about 50 times round-trip. IF I take the FJR, my route and plans may change alot. I may take advantage of the higher speeds and slab it west on I-90 before makinga right. I rode this bike from Phoenix, and despite the stock seat and off-road tires, the bike handled great. So I will continue to prep both bikes and keep an open mind. Thanks for the info. [/QUOTE]
