Anchorage Alaska

Sitting at McDonald's awaiting the word on the noise from my primary cover, looks like the inner primary bearing is bad. Second one this week the service manager says. Hopefully it is a warranty item.

We had a beautiful ride to Anchorage and to my brother in laws home in Girdwood, at the end of Turn-again Sound, just above the Kenai Peninsula. Really cold ride with three hours of rain, coldest morning riding yet. Beautiful ride down through the snow capped mountains, and Glaciers. Will add pictures when I get the bike back and get back to my camera and internet. We plan on doing the Kenai Peninsula tomorrow, fishing Friday (seaplane ride to a remote salmon place) and heading out this weekend. Part of the Top of the World Highway opened but it looks like 20 miles or so are still missing. The mud here is slick, so 100 miles of dirt/gravel would be a challenge in this weather.

Our plan is to wander over to the Alaska Highway then take the western entrance from Dawson Creek to Washington, Portland, then head to Yellowstone then over to Sturgis for a day or so of bike week. We will see what the mechanics have to say.
