Leaving in the morning with the days end run being perhaps Hazelton.
Meet at the Mt Paul husky at 7;30. prepare for two weeks and thousands of km's. Spent the big bucks on the Turkish made Anlas tire, lets see how it compares to the tried and true Kenda.

stay tuned as there may be a few pics. after the return.

Very very very interested in this tire test.I suppose it'd be OK if you threw a few pics in too......

after a mostly sunny 12 hr ride we're in New Hazelton and hopefully in 40 k I'll take a tire pic at 1000k which should line up at the stuart cassiar junction.

just like my texting, sometimes i fail to respond to the question. yes unless someone in an orange jumpsuit holding a stop sign standing out on the new road says "Dooode, the roads not open yet", then yes absolutely toTuk it will be.Today a shortish cold 550k day ending in dease lk in the rain, at least the snow has stopped,,,,

Good luck on the Dempster, I was up there in 2014 and it is an easy ride when the roads are dry. Just be careful when you get going a little too fast as the road conditions can change quick and you have to rely on a little luck and your off-roading skills in a hurry. When the rain comes down the Dempster is a snotty slippery road.

A friend of mine is out on the Dempster. Riding a brown GS800. Say hi, his name is Chris. Have a great trip Wayne.

 

[04klr]

every gs on the dempster was brown today. in fact anything that moved was brown today. if not for the hours of rain a major cleaning would be required.Less than an hours ride time to 5k on the Anlas and its doing stellar so far.and pictures. yes there's a few.

 

[04klr]

no trip to tuk. perhaps a reason to return. we did do the north and south canol tho. on the home stretch only a coupla though k's to go.

Hi Wayne as always I enjoy sitting back with a coffee and reading your adventures, I wish you better success than I had with the Anlas, first trip out on my new tires I ripped the front side wall. Okay perhaps bad luck on my part and installed a new Anlas anyways. The new front has some miles on it now and it seems to be holding up alright.Though the rear Anlas didn't last 1500 kilometres in which I was extremely disappointed for the price of those tires. I installed the Motoz tractionator last week and had a great time hooking up on every kind of terrane at the TT rally. I will say the Motoz is terrifying on the highway, so squirrly.Should mention I'm riding a 1190RAnyways enough of my rants.... keep up with the posts.

perhaps 1 day left and at almost 8000k, and there have been tire changes ertainly some hits and misses and we're not home yet. had a very beary day today and found another use for duck tape and a pop can. and last I looked the baking pans and wire are holding in there,,,

 

[04klr]

home after a tick over 8700k. Fantastic ride. thanks for the invite Mark. Now to edit the 1700 odd pics. and get to that Anlas tire report!
