cut from a different cloth 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago

I am now starting to think about my next riding tour for next year. This year I went to Sturgis and was supposed to go on to Montana but I could not bring myself to stay away from my wife so home I went. But I sit here and say to myself I was so close should have done it. The year before I went across country and did that trip in 17 days was supposed to be 30 days Again I could not stay away from my wife that long. Now I am thinking of riding to Alaska. Most likely won't but it would be awsome. I started reading about it and came to several conclussions.
1 in the past I traveled alone and my wife flew or stayed home. But this trip I would feel very nerevous in going alone. The difference is
A-Bad roads broken up in spots.
B- Severe dusty roads to the point that if a car comes in the opposite direction the dust would be so thick you could not see.
C Permafrost pushing up the road
D Bears wolves eating me alive if I go down and get injured and can't walk
E Mosquitos eating you alive if the bears don't
2- On the upside
A great experience
B Can't ride much further then that
C Somethiing you will be able to say you did
D walking to your own drummer
E And last but not least bragging rights
Will I do it? I doubt it but I keep reading and that is how all my trips started.
Anyone up for a ride?
Ron

The true worth of a man is how he treats someone when there is nothing to gain.

All I can say is I feel sorry for you. I'm married to a women who loves riding as much as I do. So I don't leave home without her. I doubt I would take any trips if my wife could not ride with me.

Well my wife loves me to go for a ride, the longer the better! I am up for riding to Alaska next year. Why not. I will be turning 50 and its something I have been wanting to do for some time. I don't think that bad things will happen with a little bit of planing.
I'm in...

Alaska is in my 5 year plan. I'll probably have to go it alone as well , as most won't travel that far. I will likely do a trip like that one on something like a KTM 990 adventurer. I say go for it!
As for the wife thing , I'm fortunate to have one that rides her own everywhere with me on a local basis , and many of my smaller trips in the Southeast.  BB |

My wife would be happy if I took off for a couple of weeks.  |

It\'s easy to tell who your real friends are: Lock your dog and your wife in the trunk for an hour. When you open it, notice which one is happy to see you.

Something like that has always been in my plans also. The wife and I are riding to Vermont for a trip next spring with some friends. Its always nice to ride in a group on something like that. |
