In July 1999, I took my first motorcylce trip to Alaska. I had a 1998 Wing and a '95 Bunkhouse. I did over 1500 miles on dirt and gravel roads up in the NW of Canada and Alaska. I tried to load four pictures but two were to large and I don't know how to make them the right size so here are two.

You didn't look much different in '99.
Must be all that riding all those motorcycle miles is keeping you young!

No, as much as I salivate every time I see one, I just don't have the room in my garage.

I have said this before, and I'll say it again: If I could only afford one motorcycle, it would be a Gold Wing!!!!!!

That's the point... you'd still have 2 motorcycles! :)

And I ain't getting rid of the ST for a while. With 65,640 miles on it, it is just getting broke in.

Oh man! I lived in Inuvik for several years, and driving the Dempster was something I did in my 4x4 truck with at least 2 spare tires That is 457 miles of spectacular sceanery and brutal road.

I found the gravel roads in Canada much better maintained than the ones in Alaska. I ran the Campbell Highway that trip also.
