Default 3 weeks, 9300 mile road trip with your dad

Well dad and I made it back from Alaska and the Arctic Circle. It was 7 months in the planning, it could have been 7 min and come out the same way. If you ever make it up there you will find my Dragon sticker on the back of the sign. Most of the road were flat, straight and boring as hell. We did see a lot of wild life you don't see in Ohio.

Very nice. I hope to do that someday. What tires did you have on the bike?

Default Metzeler ME880

When I left Ohio it had about 1500 miles on it. When I changed it at the camp site it had 9200 on it. I was hoping to get 15k out of it.
