Bunkhouse

[motomac]

OK, I finally got a scanner to do this, so here are a couple of pictures of my '98 Gold Wing and '95 Bunkhouse. These are from a trip I took to Alaska in July of 1999. Before I got done with this trip to Alaska, I had traveled over 1500 miles of dirt and gravel roads. I went to places most guys use GS's and KLR's. The GS that is in the picture with my Wing at the welcome to Inuvik sign belonged to a young (28) German I met in Pelly's Crossing at a gas station. We rode together from Eagle Plains YT to Inuvik NWT and back down the Dempster across the Top of the World Highway to Fairbanks AK. At times we were doing 75 MPH on the dirt road racing a hugh weather front. We were actually leaning left going into right turns at times, because the wind was blowing so hard. We got to Dawson City without encountering any rain at all, but it was very nasty looking for a while.

Cool pic's!
I told Joe he would be OK on the wing if he wants to go.:D

I wanna go...lol...:bike1:

I'm sure the bike would make it... I just don't see any reason for going further than Canada.. heck, that's half way...

Actually all those pictures are in Canada!!! The one through the windshield is on the Campbell highway. Really a great dirt and gravel highway, smooth and well maintained. It runs from Watson Lake over to Carmacks. I was going over 55 when I took this shot through the very "clean" windshield.

Mac, I am just curious, what kind of tire pressure did you run on the gravel roads? What kind of wear did you encounter on the trailer tires, I notice you apparently do not carry a spare. The pictures were great, was that a Russian Orthadox church?:bike1:

Actually the spare was in the well inside the trailer. I had no trouble with tires on either trip I've made to Alaska on bikes. I did not lower the pressure in my tires to run the gravel roads. 40-44 pounds on the bike and 25 on the trailer.
That is the famous Igloo Church and I think it was an Indian group that built it. It has since burned to the ground, so I was told by the only Canadians I've met that have been up there.

I lived almost 3 years in Fairbanks
Great times up there LOL

Must be helmet hair, I haven't changed my hair style since 1963.

I was thinking the same thing, maybe it's just that there was color in it back then. :D :D
