Complaint Filed
I received a complaint via text about my poor blogging schedule, then someone I dearly love sent this to me in a text. I laughed so hard I could barely read it aloud to the rest of the group. I am sure you will love it as much as I did! – Don’t worry, the…
First Update of the Adventure!!
Wow, what a fun & busy few days! Here is the recap. We only slept 4 hours before heading out on July 4. It took us about 12 hours to get to Casper. We arrived around Midnight. Rob had been there for hours. The weather was pretty nice on the way to Casper. Overcast, so…

MYSUV Gets New Tires

Buells 1 through 5
I grew up as a motorcycle passenger. Daddy always had a bike. I never really had any desire to learn to ride my own until I was older. Shawn’s previous experience included a moped & a friend’s motorcycle. When I was in high school, as part of Dad’s “life preparation class” there were a variety of…
Packing List v100
Below is our packing list, as of today. The list changes a tiny bit on almost a daily basis, but I think we are getting pretty close to the final version. Some of the items include links so you can see what make / model of the item we are bringing. If you…
Tire Change Without a Tire Changer etc….
Shawn has had some practice in the garage, mounting tires without a tire changer, & he is getting pretty fast! I hope this is a skill he doesn’t have to practice on our trip to Alaska, but I am happy to have new tires for my ride! She is ready to go! Shawn even cleaned her up…
First Packing Test
Shawn helped me finish our first round of test packing. So far I think we are going to have plenty of space! Since we aren’t taking very many clothes, it frees up a lot of space for our camping gear. Be prepared to see a million pictures of us wearing the same few outfits! Don’t…
My Dog Ate My AK Plans
Apparently Ryley did not approve of my latest AK notes. She consumed the top of each page and those notes are gone forever. Lucky for her she is super cute!
Progress & (Tire) Changes
Shawn’s Uly is nearly ready for the trek. It has new plugs, wires & new tires are on the way. Shawn has been tightening bolts, lubricating parts & giving it a thorough check. My bike is next in line for inspection & tuning. We’ve ordered the new Michelin Pilot Road 4 tires & even found a good…
Glimpse Into Packing
In just 8 weeks we head out on our adventure! Yesterday we spent the day with Mom & Daddy. He has been getting his bike ready to go too. We checked out his new Jetboil pot and visited about our upcoming trip. Counting the weekends until we leave, we have plans for several of them…
Soooo Excited!
I am really getting excited to take our trip! I still have some route planning to do, but we’re getting closer! It will be like Christmas when all of our new items arrive this week. Once we get everything here, we’ll test pack the bikes. Hopefully we don’t look like the Beverly Hillbillies on bikes! …
