Dempster, Dalton ,Denali That is the plan for the next 24 days.
The new Super Tenere will be here waiting for me when I get home. My dealer told me today that it is in Chicago 300 miles away today and there is nothing I can do to get it here. I’ll write a ride report when I get home but not being on my Tenere I doubt if I read it myself. Landon has a SPOT and I’ll post the web site here . I hope to post a picture on here when I get a chance to. I would like to ride with some of them Tenere riders in Whitehorse up the South Canal when we get there. Have fun riding your new Tenere’s guys, only a week away. http://www.spotadventures.com/user/profile/?user_id=74688
This story starts back when I first heard about the Super Tenere coming to this country. I told my son and a friend, Troy, that if I order one of these things we are going to Alaska. Well, a couple weeks had gone by and they had both bought adventure bikes, so I was committed to ordering the Super Tenere. Then a couple weeks later I stopped by Landon's house on the way to Iowa City and told him 3 of us were going to Alaska on bikes. A short time later he calls me up and asks is this really going to happen. I said well I don't have a bike yet but we are going to go, Troy and Eric have already bought adventure bikes. Landon ended up buying a 650 Wee and said he is in on for the ride. Well, as the story goes time is getting closer and Yamaha was saying November delivery so I had to come up with a bike. I bought a 650 Wee with less than 10,000 miles on it and thought it was a great bike until I test rode the Super Tenere in Kansas City. WOW!!! now that is an adventure bike. About 3 weeks ago Troy threw a chain on his Vstrom and totalled the cases. Within a week he had another Vstrom and has it all ready to go. I think it is white but I haven't even seen his new bike.
Landon, Troy, and Scott (Scott is Troy's 12 year old son) left this afternoon and according to Landon's SPOT they are getting close to the Minnesota border. When Eric gets off work in a little while him and I are going to start the chase and try to run them down within the next 2 days. Troy says he is going to ride casually, yeah right. Troy is wide open all the time. So this is the start of the 2011 Alaska Ride for 5 friends on 4 bikes.
This is Eric's bike [My son]
This is the bike I'll be on for the trip.
