Howdy ADVRiders, My 3 month trip has brought me to sunny AK :) I am in Seward right now, will spend tomorrow monday still in here south. I need to get soem stuff done on my 1150GS ADV, like 24k service. I would love to do oils, and most of the stuff by myself if I can find someone friendly enough to provide me with surroundings to do that. Valves and TB...well, if there is someone either in Anchorage or Fairbanks with tools and skills and good will (I'll buy the beer ) who would show me how to do the valves, I am very willing to learn. OR, which dealer should I go to to get these things done? All the hellp and tips are wellcome...also, if any of you AK riders wanna hook up for stories and maybe lunch/dinner/coffee let me know...I am all for meeting you guys. I plan to hang around until the next sunday at least...somewhere around here. Jussi
And if you want to get in a side trip, Petersville road, great views of Denali! We seem to be thinking Sunday....Sunday....Sunday.
Hackey or fite...... What time at the Dome? I would stop in and visit-god knows I'm not much help with the mechanical work. I'll hold the flashlight! dinner at 7 and news at 11.
Hey Jusv, You made it to Alaska. How was the ride up the Stewart/Cassiar? If you don't get things done in Alaska, I'll help you out here in sunny nothern BC. See Yaa soon. Ride Safe, Rick
Jusv did in fact make it to Anchorage. Hacky and I just finished running his valves down in the Sheraton Hotel parking lot. All is well. We had a little lunch and hopefully convinced him to drag his feet a bit and meet a bunch of the Gruvers up in Dawson for D2D. Dropped him off at Barb's shop.
Thanks Fighter, Glad he is having a good trip. I wouldn't want him to rush. He was going to head my way before I head up your way July 15th. Just wondering how he made out. Take Care, Rick ]Jusv did in fact make it to Anchorage. Hacky and I just finished running his valves down in the Sheraton Hotel parking lot. All is well.

I am having a good time here in AK!! Thanks Fighter and HackyMoto for the valves, next time I know what to do Right now I am hanging out at Barb's shop to kill some time before heading out to see Tim in Wasilla. I still need to get my oils changed (bike's that is) and since he offered my a place to crash, hey, who am I to say no to that I am really bad on updating stuff here in AdvRider, I am already typing stuff up in my own site so if you wanna know what happens, check it out. Although I have not really updated that either until today. I needed some time off :) Dragging my feet, we'll see how that goes...I am not rushing but this travel thingy is kinda expesive up here unless I camp But I do my best to meet you guys in Dust to Dawson....I promise... [/QUOTE]
Hey jusv, Great to here that you are having the time of your life and your safe on those Alaska roads. Just phone me before you leave with some kind of est date of when you are passing through. I will be leaving June 14th on my Alaska bound trip. You sure know when you are in the north by.... 1. Price of gas and everything else. 2. The beauty of the places you visit. 3. The willingness of the people to help out a fellow biker. Have a safe Journey and don't rush... Ride Safe, Rick
[Hey Fighter, Might make it to Dawson on the 16th. Look for two guys, both on Adv one silver, one black. I have to see what my riding partner wants to do. Rick QUOTE=Fighter]KD... will you be able to link up with us in Dawson on the 15th/16th ???[/QUOTE]
