LOL! I didn't even see this until now. Sorry for the long long long wait.

My beloved Stand got a gentle roll onto it's side during a fun run down a back road. Wasn't drunk or anything like that, just having fun on a back road when the car got into a back and forth that I couldn't catch up with.

100,000 miles on the car and thats the first time I ever really fucked it up.

if your serious about going back to AK and take'n the bike... look into maybe picking up a little dual sport instead... you'll open up 100x the roads... and have a lot of fun...

I wished I'd done that with my time up there... not that having my ZZR up there wasn't fun (when I was there to ride it) but there are soo many trails and shit you could have a blast on with a dual sport or shit... a dirt bike

I can...

it'd be a fun ass ride... one I really wanna do eventually....

but riding up there... is more suited for a dual sport or a adventure tourer

For the most part I would probably drive around the us visiting family in places like Texas, California, Illinois, and Ohio. Then once I got to Alaska I would be too busy working and hiking to get out and ride alot. One on hand I am thinking, holy shit this is going to hurt. On the other hand I think it is a perfect way to abuse my youth. Allowing me tell the tale, and then say but I would never try that again!!!

but if you did it once... you'd do it again....

invest in an Air Hawk Seat pad... they're worth their weight in gold... trust me... even Drewpy approves!

but yes... life is nothing more than a string of experiences... so hell... have at it!
