Sometimes getting the time off from work is the most challenging part! |

Posts: 1117 Northeast Ohio | Rollin', at least you are riding the most comfortable bike in the world this time. I couldn't stay on my Kingpin for more than an hour at a time!
Good luck to all you lucky SOBs that can get this time off work to do something like this. It sounds like a blast. |

| LOL planning is half the fun of this. Look forward to hearing of your preps for the ride. I'll share what intel I get on the ride. The new edition "milepost" book will be out in print Nov 30th. Good luck and let us know when you get a date set. I will be doing this South to North....would be way cool to have 2 visions crossing paths on the Dalton or Alcan!
take care,
ride safe
