St1085 – He can “Burn Out” all he wants on those tires. He left the new set he was carrying in my garage (when we made him take off about 70 lbs of crap). If I hurry I can wear out the set currently on my bike and get those mounted by the time Dean gets back here.

…… Tires??? …. What tires are we talking about Dean?????

Are you going to stop in Seattle or are you going to by pass us on your way south?

I’m enjoying your reports but I have lots of questions, will give you a call. Would like to see some pics of the places you are staying (UAF, etc).
You should do some burn-outs on BR’s tires before you change them….I won’t tell!!! ;>)

Yeah, I second what Brian said: stay on your guard and be careful on the way home. It’s easy to get complacent but you have a lot of terrain to cover. Which way are you headed back?

I know you are a big boy but I am very relieved that you are done with this part of your trip. I certainly hope Paulie recovers fully from his injuries. Just surprised because the terrain is quite wide open up there – except south of Coldfoot – there is quite a bit of brush cover and that of course is where pump station #5 is. Guess I better get that renewal for Medjet service in.

Bea careful the rest of the trip home. Watch for those construction zones, the critters and enjoy the scenery. You have now almost caught back up with your riding partner.

thats to bad about Paulie hiting a moose can never be good thats one big animal hope he’s going to be ok. I am glad you had an uneventful ride back and happy the weather was good except for the fog. that first 50 miles is were Jimmy and I saw herds of caribo with a thick fog could be bad glad you made it safely & we’ll pray for Paulie.
