We seemed to come up a temporary fix for Leslie’s bike stalling and starting problems. Seems throttle related for sure. Heading to Hyder and will finish this trip. Still love the bikes and knock on wood Cheryl’s running well.
July 31st 2011 After we got settled in our motel and since the bike was stalling even as we pulled up to the Westmark Motel I calmed down a bit because Cheryl has a reassuring way about her when things don’t go as planned. I am the worrier and need everything in its place. Cheryl…
Please take moment as we head into the last 2 weeks of our trip to learn about our Charity ACT. I have a page set up for them in the header of this blog. If all the people reading this BLOG and other social media sites we are posting on donated even $5 they would…
Mom and 2 cubs
July 30th 2011 We were prepared for pests of all sorts! Leslie has her bug terminator arsenal, and we pulled out the bear spray for the first time on the trip. We slept with it inside the tent, but fortunately we were not visited by any angry grizzly bears during the night. Cheryl considered scaring…
July 29th 2011 Woke up in the cozy room of the Young Motel in Tok … looked outside and SURPRISE … it was raining! Oh well …. we got ourselves dressed and ready and headed into Fast Eddy’s for some caffeine and breakfast and saw THIS guy! Cheryl loved the sideburns and snapped a covert…
Unfortunately, after a GREAT day it has ended poorly. My stalling issue has come back. We have been carrying on with our trip riding all the roads we want to and knew that maybe this problem would come back. It has and too soon. My bike is very hard to start and again I have…
July 28th 2011 Today I put the camera away and just rode the heck out of the bike. It was raining, not a real long ride, Liberty Falls, Chitina to Tok. I gave myself the day off from worrying about taking pics and just listened to music and pushed the bikes on the crazy frost…
July 27th 2011 It was a good thing we decided to motel it last night. It poured in Valdez all night. As for Cheryl and myself we do not feel the need to camp in the rain on a holiday because, well, it just makes us miserable and not worth it. Our trucker neighbour finally…
Wicked 2.5 miles to ride
July 26th 2011 MEGA Post! Congratulations!!! Anyone who wished for a better riding weather day we got it. Still got some rain on us but not nearly like since we left Anchorage! We actually got to see some of the views we missed on the way out of Seward this morning riding to Whittier. So,…
July 25th 2011 We thought about staying at Homer Spit for another night but the forecast was not good. As we packed up the tent the winds really began to blow and the rain started to fall. Seems that way for us, the rain just follows us while we are riding. The tent almost blew…
We knew the day would come we would have to leave our cushy lay over digs. We are so fortunate that Gary & Deb offered their house to us for longer than anticipated. We were fed well, great bedroom, they drove us back and forth to the dealer to check on our bikes, they took…
