Yes I'm here,and will be making a run up to Fairbanks on the weekend of the 31st.

Gonna ride the richadrson up from palmer on friday,spend the day Saturday running around Fairbanks,the head home to Biglake by way of the Parks on sunday.

I'll make a run to Valdez in late August to go out in the sound for some sea bass.

You up here right now?

 

[Squid Killer]

Not now. I might be in Fairbanks later this year to visit the family and gorge on my aunts sourdough blueberry pancakes. Mmmmm.

Have fun...dont let a moose take you out.

 

[alaska cajun]

Yep,sourdough is the way to go.

Last time I made the trip,a caribou stepped out in front of me just out side of Paxon.

Noooooo,I start around the 2nd week of April and normaly go untill Thanksgiving.

We may get snow here and there but it melts.

 

[Squid Killer]

Plus the daylight lasts much longer. Even though there may be snow on the ground it can be over 80F.

Where did you take that pic?
It kinda looks like Tompson pass.

 

[Squid Killer]

Where did you take that pic?

Yes it is. I would ride out to Glenallen each weekend to get some lunch or park at the campground outside Valdez and go hiking for the day.

I just came in from doing the loop.It rained and rained and then it rained some more.

I enjoyed it though.

But good lord at the squids in Fairbanks.When I got off the Richardson on to Airportway,I went str8 to the motel 8.Before I could even get my helment off there was 2 guys behind me on ZX 12's with extended chrome swingarms wanting me and Kim to go ride with them and 40 of there buds.

I said no thanks,I've got better things to do.Then there was the squidlyest of squids riding around in the rain with not even a pair of sun glasses on.How they did that,I'll never know.

It was all good though.

I wish I could have went with ya, I got back from fairbanks around 1 am saturday, driving the big new ford van at 90, leaning in the corners was a bit scary.

 

[Squid Killer]

Not too many squids in Valdez. lol. I think there was only one other sportbike in town when I left.

I was down there a few months back and did'nt see any bikes.

 

[Squid Killer]

There was one guy with an old CBR and two guys sharing a house that have HD's. One guy was in town visiting. He was riding a 1974 Norton Comando.

I lived in a sailboat in the small boat harbor and kept my Yamaha at the harbor masters office.

 

[alaska cajun]

Seeing that I'll have the only new sportbike in town,I'll have to bring me a big stick to beat off all the women.
