After 4 years in Kodiak, Alaska I am now back in Astoria, Oregon!!! Back to the land of getting parts fast without crazy expensive shipping!! I drove the AlCan highway with my Dad and 8 year old son and we had a blast! After we put a new transmission in the motorhome at mile 90 from Homer. A condition I was hoping to nurse along but after a few miles down the road I knew that was not going to happen. I got hooked up at a shop in Kenai and they went way out of their way to get my transmission overhauled. I had to pull it and put it back in. No big deal. It put us 5 days behind schedule but we made up for it. We kept a running tally of all the critters we saw and it was like wild kingdom. Black and brown bears, moose, elk, buffalo, big horn sheep, porcupine, deer and a few others. I unloaded my bike and had my Dad drive and I put about 120 miles on my bike.
I was shocked that if I just cruised at about 60 mph 4000 rpm I got near 60 MPG!!!!! I was on asphalt and did some horsing around but not too much. Just wheelies over every bridge
