What did you do to your bike today?

I’ve been off grid for a while, riding the Denali Highway and camping. This is something you folks should make a bucket list item. It’s doable on a road bike if careful. Stunning scenery everywhere you look. Camp sites as far as the eye can see. I have lots of pics and video to download. 
Here is a cell phone photo from my tent last night 

Before hotels and motels Alaska had “Roadhouses”. There are some still around. Tonight I’ve got a room at Meier’s Lake Roadhouse near Paxon Alaska at the end of Rt. 8, the Denali Highway

its raining hard. Relaxing and wondering what’s to come. Tomorrow it’s into Palmer Alaska and reuniting with a girlfriend I haven’t seen since 1989 !!!

Made it to Seward Alaska and the best crab I’ve ever had!

Portsmouth NH, not crab but lobster. They have their own fishing fleet. Basically it goes from the boat to your table. Very reasonable prices.

Yesterday I took Mystery for a ride up Hatcher Pass not far from their home in Palmer where I’ve been staying while resolving issues on the bike. With all systems go now, it’s time to explore a bit. As we ascended and descended the pass, I handed the Nikon to Mystery and she was the trip photographer.

I don't understand why those are not on every bike from the factory. I have to put one on each time I buy one.

[Pauly]

Factory on the last 3 bikes I've bought.

Clearly you are buying the wrong bikes then.

Got word while in Alaska that my Dad was hospitalized with congestive heart failure issues. He’s now home but the prognosis isn’t good so I’m making a beeline back to his home in Ohio, now slugging out long miles across Alberta. Fun time is over for now. 

[bowdog]

Sorry to hear that man...Safe travels and hoping the best for your father!

@Danimal praying for your travels and your dad‘s health.

Trip to the bucket today with some Harley friends. I miss riding with my hooligan friends. I need to get another Concours.

FTFY

[B-Mac]

If my wife would ride passenger with me, yes the wing is the choice but that's not happening anytime soon. She just picked up a new Spyder. My rides with her are topped out at 65 on back roads and 75 Hwy. So I will putt along on my "Chopper Baby" with her. I will still have a bike for Hooligan rides with Doc and others.

Trying to reconnect with my youth.

Cool bike...Always wanted to customize a Fury with chrome spoke wheels and lots more bling, IMHO the oem wheels are sad looking... 

[Tonik]

That Fury will be fun as hell.

Rode it to work Thursday and found this when I got home.

 

 

Saturday I patched it.

Tomorrow (Wednesday) is the last bike night of the year at Quaker Steak and Lube in Valley View Ohio. I haven’t been to one in many years, but they used to be massive and a lot of fun with a huge assortment of bikes to oogle at. I heard they canceled them after the pandemic but re-started them this year. 
So I’m heading there tomorrow evening after making my Father dinner and getting him squared away. I had to return to Ohio from Alaska when I was told he was in the hospital. He’s at his home now but fading. So I’ll be in Ohio for the foreseeable future. 

For me it’s a nice spin up the length of the Cuyahoga Valley with a side loop in the Brecksville Reservation to get there. 
A couple of friends here in Cuyahoga Falls are joining me. We’ll probably eat wings etc and then ride back. 
Anyone in the area, stop by and say hey!
(It could be a dud. I have no idea)
It starts at 5:30. I’ll get there around 6:45-7. I messaged Pauly and Jim but neither replied. 

typical lol
