It was the Night before Departure and all through the House...............

Brian (Festar) Maddy and I (BigJohnSD) were scurrying like madmen finishing last minute details and preparations.

The Honey-do list is complete.

The bikes are ready - we've ridden over 2,300 miles testing since last Friday, May 31st.

Brian is happy with his 2002 VSTROM 1000.  It has performed quite well this week.  No real issues, we had to do a bit of additional wiring to accommodate a new phone charger.  Revamped the Heated Gear connection and added a direct hookup battery tender lead.



My 2014 BMW R1200 GS Adv has had its 18,000-mile service performed and the wheels have been trued and the tires balanced.



We have new tires awaiting us at our first stop and group Rendezvous point in Helena MT.  We will change tires and perform any other maintenance tasks on Tuesday, June 11th at a good friends house/shop in Helena.

Wednesday, June 12th  we have a short run to Eureka MT and the last night in Estados Unidos for awhile.  Looking forward to renewing old acquaintances and friendships in Eureka.

Thursday morning June 13th we cross into Canada at Roosville and head to Banff for the evening where we will be joined by our last rider.

Friday, June 14th  we will enjoy Lake Louise, the Icefield Parkway, Jasper and then head on to Grand Cache AB for the night.

Pictures as we go along.

The following link to my GPS Tracker will tell you where we are and where we have been, it updates approximately every five minutes: North to Alaska SPOT Tracker Link
