It was probably over 7000 miles. I ended up flying home from Montana as i had ridden Jim's bike from AK. He flew out of Anchorage, since he didnt have enough vacation to ride back. My plan was to go back to Ak later that year and ride my own bike back. True to form, once i've ridden/driven the Alaska Highway, it takes me about 2-3 years to want to do it again :). I have family in Anchorage so it was pretty easy to leave my KTM there and then have it shipped later.

Too f'n lazy to write, so will just post up a bunch of pics from a great trip 11 years ago. (we have tentative plans to go again in 2021, if the world is still here...) starting off with an epic one from the one and only @jbean. this guy here (just had his nails done and didnt want to mess up the polish)

i had just got used to the quiet in the office and the lack of traffic. now, all them scared nannies are back ?

Brad Paisley? ?

Too damned easy ?

we get hurt on the easy stuff. you know, when you arent paying attention. This time we were really focused as the road bent to the right, just at the bottom of the snow. If you went left, it was a good 1000 feet or more before you would stop rolling!

Had our fill last time...

dang, man! it is June! we are supposed to / maybe heading that way in mid-July. Be sure to get them passes open ?

It sounds cliche, but if he was a friend of yours then it stands to reason he was a great guy! When you get a chance, post up some of your stories about him. Especially the Tail of the Dragon one! ?

Hey, Frijole!!! Welcome. Watch out for all these foreigners....

is that wishful thinking? Hey, Sportsterboy!

Welcome!!

be careful what you ask for ?

seems pretty common nowadays. so common that when we are out on a trip, chatting up people we meet, when they ask how we all met we just say "eHarmony" ?

Got to get Frijole in here. He loves Colorado and White Rim Trail. He has no plans to ride this year, but these pics could change his mind!

Very similar here. i would just add that i've met some really good motorcycle enthusiasts thru all this online stuff, that i wouldnt have met otherwise. Even Bruce, whom i plan on meeting in the flesh someday soon. Dont really care what bike you ride, just that you love to ride. Grew up on Hondas, went thru Kawis and a Groundpounder and a Road Glide before choosing my current brand. I just love tweaking the nose of those who think their bike choice defines them, and defines them as better than others. Especially them KTM guys. They are totally clueless ?

Colorado is one of our favorite places to ride. Lots of mountain and forest roads, beautiful scenery!

i'm just here for the attention.....
