Route Idea

so my friend Chris is going to ride to Alaska with me and this is the route we have planned out so far.

the idea is to ride up to Deadhorse, Alaska. its the end of the road in the Discovery show Ice Road Truckers and then take the ferry from Whittier, AK to Bellingham, WA so we get to see the Alaskan coast too.

the downside to the ferry idea is that it will cost us almost 1,300 dollars



and 2,200 miles of riding would likely cost us less than 300 bucks.

who needs a truck when you have a KLR?

I added a bar riser and Kitty helped me install it safely.



Kitty sat on the back and supervised my work

I took my new crash guards down to a friends shop so I could install them out of the rain.

I bought goodies for my KLR

the airplane mod adds about .1 horse power and a few lbs of up force which really help the KLR in parking lots

here is the shiny reflection from the rear of my new boxes





the KLR wanted to go see the snow so I took the boxes out on a shakedown test

I bought a KLR

here it is next to my old RF900.



now they can be friends!
