Yeah I’m getting pretty excited. And having a new bike under me will allow a little leeway in how I treat it as far as pushing through some bad roads. If I hit the weather right, the roads between Inuvik and Tuktoyuktuk should be passable. If rainy, the 13” calcium chloride road base turns to the slickest snot imaginable, and clings and dries to a state that is almost not-completely-removable, even with pressure washers. So things I am studying: Bear sprays and deterrence mosquito issues (100%deet required) spares (I have friends in Palmer Alaska and I’ll be sending fresh tires to her along with chain, sprockets and brake pads) pre-spraying the bike with various coatings to help with calcium chloride sticking upgrading my satellite com system from my old SPOT Gen3 to a Garmin Inreach Mini2 getting a new FOBO motorcycle TPMS that integrates with my CarPlay unit that’s about it

I was in Alberta and BC particularly around the Banff/Golden area in July of this year. I could not explain how beautiful it is up there. I also could not imagine what riding a motorcycle like you're about to do would be like. Unimaginably epic.
