We are end of August, first of September like BDR suggest.....
Hmmmm, I will be back from Alaska by then and will be knocking about in Washington and Northern California. I can wander over to Idaho as I had planned to see my son who lives in Rexburg, ID. Keep me in the loop. I or my bike may be worn out by then but not likely.

I'm just going to throw this out there as a starter......Aug 26 (Saturday) meet in Jarbidge?
Set aside 1 day per section, complete on/by Sept 3?
I'll likely arrive in Twin Falls a day early...probably have to do an oil change and will definitely have to throw some new rubber on.
Any input is welcome and encouraged.

We will probably drive in Jarbidge on the 28-29th... The best we could do is show up in Jarbridge on the 28th, camp and head North on the 29th.
That drive sucks ass even in a car. Whether using US-287, or I-20/US 84/I-27, that's a long as boring route.

A very kind offer and I may take you up on that. I'll be running Mitas E-07+ on rear, but my front Heidenau might still be on to cover the 1900 mile trip from here to you.
I hope you can come with us.
I'll be bringing an Insta360 and GoPro....no doubt we'll manage something....I'm no professional though.

OK, I have my route planned out between Thunder Bay and Jarbidge, with one day to spare in case I have trouble or decide to spend some extra time in Wyoming..
Likely I'll spend the night before in Twin Falls and drive to Jarbidge 1st thing in the morning.
Any idea when you guys would like to depart on the 29th? 10am?

You could always meet up in Lowman, Idaho which crosses Hwy21 usually on day 2 if you cant change your schedule. You wouldn't miss much.Just FYI

Dont want to deter you guys but its SMOKEY up this way. There are numerous fires going on in some of the areas you are heading into . One just broke out north of me in Cascade,ID This is our most active time of the year for fires here in Idaho. Sometimes they burn till it starts to snow in areas that are rugged. The one saving grace you have is we are supposed to get a decent amount of rain next Tues/Weds do to Hurricane Hilary aftermath. Not trying to scare you off but be prepared for lots of hazy weather. You can go to the Idaho Wilfire site and see what i mean.

My bike has blown fork seals since coming south on the Dalton Hwy. Cleaned everything just north of San Francisco and replaced pads. Going to blast everything tomorrow morning to get me into Idaho. So going down a BDR probably isn't wise. I was thinking of calling a place in Idaho to see if I could get them changed out. If I remember correctly you don't have to remove internals to change out seals do you? I can't remember. I have the Traxxion Dynamics suspension AK-20 kit and the stock tool won't hold the internals to tighten up the lower bolt.
