    Those calendars take quite some time to get right! Boy, what good friends for life you two have made while riding. Peace in this world IF everyone met and rode together!!! Especially if you add just a pinch of difficulty!! Not much mind you! LOL!

    I must have missed something, "why" did they take it off...did they think something was offensive or disparaging to them?

    Nope their local newspaper made the initial video. It was the interview the day with left. No biggie just puts a void in the RR .

    Came across your photos and trip on DSBC.com. I'm shopping luggage and really like the look of your ride. What are they, what mount system and are you happy with the ground clearance,durability and size? I also hope to read more on the BC trip where do I look?

    Seriously incredible RR. I read through the whole thing in the past 2 days. Your report has inspired me to start saving for my own trip. Talked to my wife last night and she agreed to do an alaska trip with me (we live in Iowa). I will start saving for this adventure soon.
