Alaska - The Journey

It's time for another trip to Alaska. I will again be making the trip by motorcycle, but what makes it different this time is I will be riding my Goldwing Trike. I planned up to a week ago to take the BMW, but a unknown source oil leak, and a dive bombing bird changed my mind. The bird busted the lower fairing on the bike. Since I am taking the trike, I have also decided to pull my trailer. There should not be a problem with packing now.

The trike is pretty much ready to go. I had to order a head light guard, front bra, and after checking the front brakes, I decided to replace them. They probably would have made the trip, but it may have been close.

I will be leaving the Houston area with John on June 24, 2009 and we will meet up with another rider in Milano later that morning. There will be a total of five riders, but we will meet and split off at various time during the trip.

Not much else to do, but wait and pack. I plan to try and keep up with the blog as much as possible during the trip, but many of the places where we will be staying does not have Internet access. In that case the blog may run a few days behind. I will still write on a daily basis, but may not be able to upload on a daily basis
