1. Still better than being at work!
2. Still wish I was riding up there myself.

I know you must be disappointed Tony, but one thing I've learned, when you want something bad enough, we usually find a way.Heading home tomorrow, gonna save my vacation time

Sorry to see it just wasn't possible this year Tony. I'm sure it won't elude you for too long though.
Look on the bright side though, the roads washed out before you got to Deadhorse, not after. Now THAT woulda screwed up your vacation time but good.

Bummer, dude. But I'm sure you know pulling the plug was the wise thing to do, or else you wouldn't have done it.
I have a feeling you'll make it work another time!

That too bad. Looks like things are getting marginally better. The closed portion is now open (one lane) as of 7:30 last night.

Sucks Tony.
My kids are setting on the north end [Teslin] of the wash outs waiting for the damn road to open. :angry: They have been there since Friday. Even when the road opens all the the big rigs [aka supply trucks] from north and south go through first.

Sorry that didn't work out Tony but bank up some more vacation and you'll have time to do it again next summer perhaps? June or July are good times up to AK.
Oh, and hell I'll state the obvious that especially for you LD guys the Gen 2 is absolutely superior to the Gen 1 in every way that I can remember!

Yes, he picked up an '08 from a friend of his who was giving up riding. He's been setting it up for LD riding. We're gonna give the BL6IX a go this year.

Wuss!
A true LD rider would have figured out a way around those road closures! You know - sneak around in the middle of the night when everyone is sleeping. Something like that.

I sense a disturbance in the Force...something about a Gen 2 FJR and Skooter's mad obsession with collecting as many as possible...
Sorry your ride didn't pan out Tony, but where there's a will, there's a way!
I Hope you are right!
Tacked on another week of vacation
Welder is finished with mirror mounts
Tomorrow get new tire installed on rear

Hopefully Saturday to Key West for fresh start
Outrageous Goals:
Day 1 1500 miles (Near center of Missouri)
Day 2 1400 miles (Depends on route)
Day 3 1300 miles
Day 4 Fairbanks, AK
Day 5 Deadhorse,AK
Day 6 Fairbanks,AK
Day 7 1500 miles
Day 8 1400 miles
Day 9 1300 miles
Day 10 Key West,FL
These goals are not possible for me on these roads
Butt- They are Targets
Jeez Tony, I read where some guys did a SS1000 from Prudhoe Bay to Homer. Stop being such a lightweight and do a Fairbanks-Deadhorse-Fairbanks SS1000. That'll knock at least a day off that sightseeing schedule you posted above
Seriously, good luck and I hope everything goes your way this time. I'll be following intently.
