Getting onto a real tangent...

I've plotted an outlandish Canadian/Alaskan tour (a solid 6 months by my
calculations), the main stumbling block of which would be securing passage
for bike and self from the Great Slave Lake up the Mackenzie towards the
Beaufort Sea.  The idea would be to ride into the Northwest Territories to
the Great Slave Lake, load the bike and myself on a freighter at Yellowknife,
perhaps Ft. Providence, then proceed by water the 1000 miles or so up the
Mackenzie River above the Artic Circle, disembarking at either Inuvik or
Artic Red River.  I would then once again proceed by moto, heading south
towards Dawson.

Question:  Does anybody in the Great White North (or the States, for that
matter) know what kind of river commerce exists on the Mackenzie, if any?

Okay, so the REAL main stumbling block to this trip is that I'm not
independently wealthy.  We all gotta dream, don't we?  ;^)

ObOriginalThread:  For this ride, I'd select a R100GS P/D.  I don't expect
to see a lot of Exxon stations between Inuvik and Dawson...

I love the calendars they make! Probably you'd like the one called "Grand Prix  
Motorcycles". 15 Full color 17" x 11" photos of Doohan, Rainey, Schwantz,  
Kocinski, etc, etc with their knees dragging. Great shots. $14.95 for one,  
$10,00 each for each additional. Call them for their catalog, also includes  
notepads and stuff.

Oxman is the outfit that also does the great Harley  and "Classics" calendars,  
as well as those cute christmas cards. I have the Harley one in my office and  
people always stop to look at it. It also has a nice description of each bike  
and some info about it.

Have fun,

Diana

ps. they also have a good-looking "Warplanes" calendar.

Of course, you could just get a half-helmet that doesn't cover your eyes
or ears.

Then we could argue about important issues, like just how much it sticks in
your craw when someone makes you do something against your will.

And how much more it sticks in your craw when you can't come up with a good
reason to tell them to go stuff it.

I believe that the corporate name is still Daimler-Benz. The new

"Mercedes-Benz".

I have been thinking of the same trip, fortunatley I already have 
the perfect bike for it. The Honda ST1100. Integrated Hard luggage, nice
big comfortable seat and an engine that cruises at 85 ( 4250 RPM) like it
is standing still. Maint interval is 16000 miles, so the whole trip requires
0 valve adjustments. Add a box on the back and a tank bag and your ready to move out.

It's stable in all conditions including heavy cross winds, good acceleration
and excellent handling at high speeds, ( not a quick turner) but much quicker
then a Wing.  I think you will start to see them on the used market for
around 6500 this spring.

Drawbacks, only one, it is very very heavy. Well it is pretty tourquey also,
I wouldn't want to spend a lot of time on gravel roads. I have heard the 
TA highway was paved, ( i'd love to know for sure).

It's an easy 300 mile per day bike, you could probably handle 500 mile
per day if your willing to cruise at 80. A BMW PD might be nice but the 
ST is less money and has better specs.

Karl Benz or Gottlieb Daimler.  This is incorrect.  The name comes
from the daughter of an Austrian financier named Jellinek (last name)
who invested heavily in the Daimler Benz company.

But it still has nothing to do with motorcycles.

Kinda like the "Engineer" who used to "work" in my group. She swore that
she would _never_ own a Japanese car. And to prove it she told us all
about the Chevy Nova she was driving. I didn't have the heart to tell her
that the "American" car she was driving came about as a result of a joint
venture between GM and Toyota (NUMMI).

On the two occasions that I have been launched--er, lunched--I didn't
really have much of a sense of control. (What a surprise, eh?
considering I was in the middle of wrecking).

Once I tumbled--ass over teakettle--and I didn't care for it much.

Once I slid--on my side and back--and I didn't care for it much.*

Crashing...I'm against it. Vote NO.


* While sliding along the pavement, I *did* have a sort of instinct to
push away from the bike as it slid along next to my face--and I did so
(I was afraid of getting tangled up in it).

I also distinctly remember thinking "well, this is going pretty
well...". Really.

But choosing to tumble or slide? Nope. By the time that sort of decision
(theoretically) should be made, I was mostly just catching on to the
fact that my life had just taken a sudden detour. Should I die in a
wreck I have little doubt that my last words will be either "shit!" or
"What the f---?" (or maybe, Slap! "I could have had a V8!")

Not to go too New Age (gack), but I tend to think that visualization
before the fact may have as much impact (heh) as any conscious decision
you make on the fly (sorry). Similar to the way you constantly plan
and revise escape routes as you pick your way through traffic--it all
becomes instinctual through application of deliberate thought. Or not.

Happy trails,

Brad
