Greetings again from Whitehorse, I want to give you a quick update on the Alaska highway as I drove from Calgary home last weekend (approximately 2500 kilometers). I have driven/rode the Alaska highway from mile "0" to Whitehorse and a few through to Fairbanks) at least 20 times or more over...

Greetings, I just installed mirror extensions just after I installed a welded front stay that broke after a minor drop, so all is well with my black '14 ES. A few comments about the SW MOTECH mirror extensions: they do improve rear vision a bit better than stock but not as much as I expected...

Yes, all two of them, fair question all of the main roads - Alaska, Klondike highway are paved or chip-sealed (kinda rough on MC tires) for the most part. Given how long the Alaska Highway is there is always some construction happening in our somewhat short summer. Mike

I too have the black '14 ES, one of the main differences between the bike you purchased (other than colour) and the US counterpart is that the US model can switch to Kms per hour whereas the Canadian model does not have this option. I think that this is ridiculous as many Canadian riders head...

Looks a lot like my '14 ES, the Black one sold in Canada! Mike

Greetings from Whitehorse. Your trip looks good and you are traveling at the best time. The Dempster is like riding through a National Geographic Magazine. As for weather you could experience everything from hot weather to snow so plan for the worse and hope for the best. As for a tire drop, I...

Thanks, I usually ride mid-September in the south but next year I don't have that option and really want to do this run across the southern part of the US. I will weigh out some discomfort balanced with the opportunity to do this ride. Mike

i am planning a trip from Whitehorse Yukon down through to Canada to Sante Fe NM then down to Guadlupe Mtns the east to ride Twisted Sisters then to the east coast up to the dragon and points between final destination of Ottawa Canada. My question to Texans et al pertains to riding through Texas...

Greetings from the Yukon, I bought the touring bag to go with the '14 ES that I just rode home from Saskatoon. So after 4,000 miles, I detoured a bit through to Portland Or, I arrived back in Whitehorse. The touring tank bag is good once you have adjusted all the straps on the base tank cover...

Greetings, I have the Held Air N Dry Gloves and really like them they are built very well and provide the ability to ride with the liner side or a thin side for warmer weather. Riding in the Yukon is guaranteed to be cool to cold, sometimes warm, but I have found that in cold weather these...

Can someone post a picture to show where the best mounting spots are for the fasteners? I have a '14 ES. Mike

I have used the warm and safe jacket for quite a few years and have found their product quite good; however, even with a regular jacket (revit sand) I found that the outside temperature would cool the heated jacket. So I took advantage of their trade-up program and upgraded to the...
