Just a quick post before I do a full ride report. After almost a month on the road,by myself,the trip is done. The bike performed magnificantly the operator almost as well....LOL. No mechanical mishaps,tipovers or flat tires.
Travelling in the far north is an epic experience,so wild and remote,with freindly folk everywhere. I took the roads less travelled and was pleased with my choice. I rode through days of rain,camped in the rain,rode through a hail storm on a very trecherous road,had hot weather in Dawson city and participated in the dust to Dawson adventure Rally for the summer solstice ........on a Hayabusa.
After riding the busa over the Top of the World hwy....a misnomer bty,a highway,it ain't....I was getting hi-5 ed from KLR andBMW adventure riders. Everyone was shocked that I was able to complete that road on a street bike with street tires.The border guard came out and the look on his face when I rolled up was priceless!
I saw soooooo many bears,black and grizzlys. Met many fantastic people. I did the whole thing on a total shoestring,you don't need boatloads of money to do it,but I seriously doubt anyone would tour like I did to stretch a dollar.
Thanks to all who sent well wishes,through pm and posting and to the one who said it sounded like my suicide note when I posted my intensions to undertake this adventure, break out of your fear bubble get your *** on your bike nd RIDE.
I DID IT......!!!!!! YAY !!!!
