LOL! I didn't even see this until now. Sorry for the long long long wait.
My beloved Stand got a gentle roll onto it's side during a fun run down a back road. Wasn't drunk or anything like that, just having fun on a back road when the car got into a back and forth that I couldn't catch up with. 100,000 miles on the car and thats the first time I ever really fucked it up. |

if your serious about going back to AK and take'n the bike... look into maybe picking up a little dual sport instead... you'll open up 100x the roads... and have a lot of fun...
I wished I'd done that with my time up there... not that having my ZZR up there wasn't fun (when I was there to ride it) but there are soo many trails and shit you could have a blast on with a dual sport or shit... a dirt bike |

I can...
it'd be a fun ass ride... one I really wanna do eventually.... but riding up there... is more suited for a dual sport or a adventure tourer |

yeah i wouldnt do it on a sportbike, but I would do it on a adventure tourer. I actually may go demo some adventure tourers tomorrow to see if I really want one.

For the most part I would probably drive around the us visiting family in places like Texas, California, Illinois, and Ohio. Then once I got to Alaska I would be too busy working and hiking to get out and ride alot. One on hand I am thinking, holy shit this is going to hurt. On the other hand I think it is a perfect way to abuse my youth. Allowing me tell the tale, and then say but I would never try that again!!!
