Just looked at your itinerary... Deadhorse, Coldfoot. Sounds like a lot history behind those names

You're spending one night at the "Bear and loony bin". So how does this work? They make you share a room with a grizzly bear, and they call you names for agreeing to it?

Scene where I was separated (consciously uncoupled) from my motorcycle last Sunday, August 17th riding from McCarthy to Valdez. See that groove in the middle of the bridge? Well, I didn't because my shield was covered with mud and wiping it only smeared it. My front tire dropped into the groove and the bike simply tipped over. Scariest was the yellow streak on my helmet where I slid along the upper rail. Evidently I was sitting up other wise my head would have gone in between which could have ended really badly!



Went to The Elliott Hospital when I got back Saturday - Fractured 3rd metacarpal!



Rode another 4 days and 1000 miles.

Awesome and amazing trip. Catching up with my blog the past week! Look here if you're interested!

Wow that is a amazing adventure. Hope the hand holds up.

Hey Dave
How do you like the transit gear?
Is it worth the money

I wish it had been the first set of gear I'd have bought cus it will be my last. It's awesome. Truly waterproof. I don't typically overheat so the fact that it's not vented isn't an issue for me. And their claim that the proprietary finish 'reflects' heat seems true to me.

This was a great trip. Im glad you came out. I need to do this again sometime.

All good to know. I've been thinking about investing in a Transit suit myself.

Cool.
Thx for the info
I think it will be my next and last bit of gear.
It's spendy but by all accounts worth the dough
