Yes, I realize that, next summer I plan on two SS1000's (going
to visit my Dad for a day), and a CC 50. The following summer I
would like to voluteer for the IBR, and try to get in a couple
of other rallyes. Then go out for the '07 IBR. (every 2 years
right?). Before then I would also like to get a SS3k as well. A
friend lives in Whitehorse, YT, ~3500 miles door to door. So I
figure I will not be able to do it on the way up, but, if I
leave his place with a full tank of gas a 5am, I should be able
to get gas all the way down the Alaska HWY. Going up would be
hard as a lot of the gas stations close around 5 or 6pm.
I've got the experience to do it now, but you are correct, I do
not have the cred. I have done at least 3 SS1000's, one on the
ZX9r and 2 on the ST, but they where not documented.
And yes, Stacy knows I am crazy. But for some reason she still
loves me.
cheers,
Tom
