I think ALCAN, I think ALCAN - 47 Days & 16,300 Miles

Anyone know if Crankshaft (Aaron) made the start?

Git to ridin'!!!!!

If ya make to Inuvik, I actually have friends there... the former mayors, the Hills. They live next to the Dome Home.

I was up there in 1981.

Check.


Alcan start

What's the story on this guy? Is this a 525 setup for the road?



If it is we need to know all the setup details.

Good luck guys. I wish I could be riding with you.

625 SXC with larger tank
panniers
Renazco seat
950 ADV windscreen

I think that was it.

WTF?? :huh

hey you lucky bastards...YFFs...have a safe and fun ride....

really cool this is...NOW, on with the show !!!!

I absolutely cannot wait to read everyone's reports and thoughts on this race (rally?).

To all of you riding I wish you the best of luck...and a geat time.



I am extremely jealous...next one is in 2008, huh?

Weren't on 87 through post and Lubbock were you? a couple weeks ago we were on our way to ride near post (no street legal hauling the bikes in the truck) and saw the same thing. :eek1 As a matter of fact I think we saw 2 different trucks. There must have been a sale on them! Either that or they were hunting decoys.

Didn't recognize Crankshaft on the silver bike!! Just a couple weeks ago, it was orange and blue. Looks great!


Good luck, all!

Best of luck to our guys Praying for a safe journey for each of you!

you mean this is just starting?
I waved at every bike for a month in 12,140 miles thinking it was y'all.

I hope Alaska warms up a bit for you.

and stay at White River just south of Beaver Creek if you get a chance.

and eat at 1202 in Beaver Creek if you get a chance.

At the hotel... dinner is over, beers consumed... now ADV'ing

morning boys...thinking of you all....

STUNT! STUNT!

Jay, you're living the life.

carry on

Yup, that and a TT motorized roadbook and relocator bracket (modified).

Two days before that picture was taken the bike was little more than a frame and engine on the lift in my garage. Lets just say it needed a little work to make it Alcan ready. The rider is Tim Pindel from Las Vegas, a good freind of mine.

It was great meeting you at the start Justin.

Sorry we're doing 12-14 hour days, so I am behind... A couple pics...

It's good to see you're still going

By the dirt on your glasses and helmet it appears to be a bit dusty :huh
