    Uh .... I don't even recognize this place anymore. How you boys doing ?? Been a while. I just bought a 2020 Yamaha Super Tenere 1200. I'll see if I can find my way back here in a day or two. All I got for now. RR

    Old lost dog back for a bit

    Howdy, boys. I've been gone a while. Couple of you noticed, most didn't .... including my wife. I see there are about 8,000 messages for me. I'm really sorry for not getting back. I haven't checked in for quite a while. We just recently moved about 140 miles UP the Alaska Highway. We...

    Questions for those with hearing aids..

    I've had mine for about two years now, and needed them before that. Mine are Workers' Comp supplied so they are pretty nice ones, and come complete with audiologist testing and updating and all that. They definitely make a huge difference, but are of little use in clarifying speech. When...

    On the way up there .......

    When you get to Prince George, B. C., you have a choice. You can continue on via the Alaska Highway, or you can head due west on Highway 16 (the Yellowhead) and just past Hazelton you can head north on the Stewart-Cassair Highway (Highway 37). This all paved (except for one mile) road is in...

    Bidding you all a fond farewell ......

    There is a great deal of surmise but seemingly very little fact. I've seen some pics of the "dash" but not much else. The big rumour is the option of an automatic transmission. I bet it's going to be an expensive boy ... well, it already is. But the new price tag could be really rude. It...

    Bidding you all a fond farewell ......

    Jim, you old phantom, you ...... good to hear from you. We took a shot at Inuvik this year but were turned back due to fires. Sadly, my gravel travel days appear to be over. The Old Bear (my lovely wife) will be my new touring companion and I'm quite happy about that. Go figure We'll...

    Bidding you all a fond farewell ......

    Gunner, you old road dog, you. How's that shoulder? All good ??? Taped up with Tuck Tape ??? Hope you're doing well and will be back in the saddle again soon. Having a lovely extended fall up here. Did a nice little 125 km today. Might be the last run for this year, though...

    Bidding you all a fond farewell ......

    Due to my advancing years (I am now well into Codger-dom), and primarily due to the fact that my wife has expressed an interest in riding with me, about a week ago I purchased a brand new 2017 Honda Gold Wing. Yep. And a handsome beast he is. And, we have been blessed with some semi-decent...

    Need advise on upcoming trip to Alaska!

    Meanwhile, can someone recommend some good bear sprays, horns or any other effective means out there to distract a bear? Weather permitting, I hope to camp as much as possible, and this means I will be outdoors quit a bit. I also would like to know the best mosquito repellants in the market that...

    Need advise on upcoming trip to Alaska!

    DUH !!!! I didn't even notice your location, sorry. Then you know all about our (their) extreme fear and loathing of firearms. Across Provincial boundaries is almost as bad. R

    Need advise on upcoming trip to Alaska!

    Everything up here is very expensive. I use synthetic and it will cost you 15 - 20 bucks a quart / litre.

    Need advise on upcoming trip to Alaska!

    ::008:: BTW, I don't know if this has been mentioned before or not, but don't bring any firearms into Canada. It's just not worth the hassle. Even if it is allowed into the country, and some aren't, it will have to be securely stowed, and the various provincial firearms / hunting laws will...

    BMW's un crashable bike?

    Need advise on upcoming trip to Alaska!

    Yo, Tenerester ...... please be advised that you are most welcome to stop by the Chateau Rem-o just south of Whitehorse. I am pretty well out in the boonies. I can offer you lots of ground space, maybe some floor space inside, garage with lift and tools, water, shower, cooking facilities...
