Thanks for hosting Bob. I'll be coming down with nothing in particular to work on but would like to learn some stuff. I hear a valve check is a good thing. Looking forward to it.

I think only a little oil has leaked out. The bigger problem though might be oil on the front brake pad. I have not tried cleaning them, but will take a closer look. Thanks for the tip!

Hey guys, I'm up for this trip if it's not too late. Although both fork seals are broken--is that a big deal? Are you meeting somewhere on Fri, Bob?

Man what a great trip. It was great hanging out with friends old and new. Thanks Bob for organizing. What's the next trip???

Awesome! See you guys tomorrow!

Bob, would it be cool to meet you guys here on Thurs as well? I'm definitely in.

Hey I will try to meet you guys Thurs, depends on what happens at work. Sounds awesome.

I'll be camping. I can break camp pretty fast...

Thanks, Heidi. Looking forward to it. I'm actually in Maine right now on a solo trip. I'm off work indefinitely until a new contract comes up, so I hit the road. A little colder up here than I expected, but it's awesome. Trying to figure out where to go next, maybe Nova Scotia?

Hey you guys have room for one more? I just installed a battering ram on the front of my bike. Bob, you'll love it! Andy

Yeah I really wanted to go with you guys next weekend but I'm going to a wedding in St John, Virgin Islands that's been on the books for a while. Is there any lodging or roads in particular that come to mind?

Hey I'm heading out on a last minute trip this weekend to Lewisburg, WV (most likely) from Springfield, VA. Anyone is welcome to join, the plans are still in flux. Anyone been there?

Hey I'm in for this! Just got home from my ride to AK and would love to see some foliage. Anyone riding from Northern Virginia? I'll be leaving from Alexandria. Andy

Doh. Fixed, thanks for the heads up.

Yeah man! Got it cleaned up a little bit, but it needs some thorough attention soon.

Here's a 30 sec compilation of some of the conditions and scenery I ran across on the way to Prudhoe Bay on the Dalton: the Alaska pipeline is visible in the last bit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3BNCUkRsm0&feature=player_embedded

Thanks, Niehart. Well, the ride back was hell compared to the ride up, and things were definitely iffy. I dumped the bike once in some soft gravel with huge rocks, and it was raining making the hard packed roads slick as snot. Luckily a road grader operator was there and helped me lift the...

It took 14 hours, but Monday July 2nd I rode from Fairbanks and made it to Deadhorse/Prudhoe Bay. It was an exciting and beautiful ride on the dirt through magnificent expanses of uninhabited mountains and valleys. I don't have any pictures really because I knew it was going to be a long day and...

I made it to Fairbanks today, and have a long way to go. From here to the town of Coldfoot is 254 miles, and from Coldfoot to Deadhorse is 241 miles. Weather will probably be the determining factor--if it's sunny I'll probably make it, but if it's raining I probably won't. It's sunny now in...

Bob, Glad you guys made it home. Yeah I hear the weather's been crazy out there, hope you have power. In any case let me know how things go with the hitch. Will definitely give you a call when I get back. Andy
