Just wanted to say Hello! Bob Morgan in Topeka here. I'm excited about the riding season ahead, and have some new equipment that ready to try out! :D
I have a pretty bad adventure cycle itch, and plan scratch it as often as possible this summer. I have dreams of Alaska, but will have to settle for the back roads of the Kansas River Valley for now. Have a great Mothers day weekend. Bob

I am flying to Anchorage July 1st to visit my son and wife and new grandson. Let me know if you are going to be in Anchorage and I'll let you know how to get in touch with him if you want to. He has rides a Dakar.

T, which bike are you going to take Alaska? The KTM or the BMW? I think you should take the BMW since they now own Husky :D

The F650 Dakar is his long-mile bike. Pretty much made for this type of adventure.

Yep I have my Dakar set up for touring. Thats all she does these days. I dont have much of a commute anymore so I just ride the XRR back and forth from work. I prep the KTM also. If I find something wrong with the Dakar or something happens, etc I go to the back up bike :mrgreen:

I must be nice to have the "back-up bike". I have floated the idea of a second bike, but I got "that look" from the wife. Well it all about timing and I will have to wait for the right time.

One should never be limited to just one bike. Just ask T-ropp, I think his is down to just 5 or 6. As for a secound one at home, thats what friends are for. If you keep the bike at a friends house is it reilly yours?? :?: I see a Dakar in your future, or maybe a full on GS1200. I am thinking bigger is better, I know how you hate to keep the fr wheel down!!! :mrgreen:
