Thanks for the info regarding the rentals Don. Panman and I were just talking about this very ride tonight...gotta go all the way to the Arctic Circle one of these days.

That's the way to go! Ride someone else's motorcycle on the haul road.

So Pops, have your Grandsons George, Marcus and Kevin offered to take you up to Alaska with them yet? When Papa Chuy Viejo next rides to AK I am taking Sofia Vergara with me, HUBBA!

Kevin, George and Brad: Get your hands on the July 2012 issue of Rider Magazine! On pages 56-64 they have published a great article: "Alaska Roadhouse Run - The Valdez to Fairbanks Trail", Story and Photos by Dennis Bible! Maybe Pops Niehart subscribes to this mag!

https://www.ridermagazine.com/plan-your-ride/the-haul-road-a-motorcycle-tour-of-alaskas-dalton-highway.htm Here is a great Alaska touring article by Rider.

If you guys ride up to Alaska you really should take Dave B. along with you, between three motorcycles you should be able to pack along enough Depends for him!

Reading the latest Rider rag right now Don. They've had a couple good Alaska articles in past issues too.

No worries regarding Pops and his *special needs*! Kevin has a trailer now, and we've already got it stocked up for the trip!

What happens if you go up and go right instead of left?

What happens if you go up and go right instead of left?

You wind up in Manitoba at the O'Keeffe residence!

 

[Bungie]

What happens if you go up and go right instead of left?

You end up as a chew toy for the pterodactyls as opposed to dinner.

Alaska is on my dance card. Someday.

Bungie, besides the Pterodactyls you forgot to mention the dangerous Manitoba Trolls!

Brad, Kevin and George: We need to ride to the "Dust 2 Dawson" Rally before "Pops" Niehart and Papa Chuy get way too fecking old, even though I think that Dave B. may already be there and that he also has the damn T-shirt! jes' sayin' and nuff' said!

Don't be scared, Life after 50 isn't that bad looking back at it after 60+. The fuck part still works also.

Brad, you might also get in touch with Highlander. He made his Alaska trek before NAFO in Golden and stopped there on the way home (remember the WeeStrom in the parking lot).

Make sure to get some meds before NAFO. We don't want you going postal on us or whatever you do when your cranky.
