Thanks, I'm glad you liked them. Yup. the season is coming to a rapid close. I'm thinking by the looks of the fireweed about 2 weeks left before all the leaves drop and the 1st snow hits.

Generally I try to ride as long as I can. I've been out in 15 deg weather with snow, providing the roads are mostly clear. but oh well. I got some good riding in this year.

Next year, I have a few plans on hitting the Yukon Territory. :biglaugh:

Awesome photos KJ! Looks gorgeous up there!

I used to drive to work, 40 min. 1-way, until it got to 25 deg., I'd put it away after that. Good gear really helps the cold but NOTHING will help you in snow!! It's fun, if you don't have too far to go! :clapping:

YT sounds like a great ride!! :eusa_dance:

here is a ride at about 27deg. when I first started riding around. dayum, the bike has transformed from totally stock to what it is now in under 1000 miles.

I need to get another hobby. :rofl_200: and Dustin, what would be good is if I had a few of you guys up here to ride with. I have a couple extra rooms in my house to crash if ever up this way.

KJ I would LOVE to ride up there in the summer time. I can't for see me heading up there, but if I ever do I'll give you a shout. You can count on that.

We have been in the high 80's low 90's here for the last couple of days. Put about 400 clicks on the Ninja since Sunday. Gotta get as much in as possible before the snow flies :bang head:

No time to take pics though, kept riding instead. :biglaugh:

Nice Pics KJ. One of my friends from Central Michigan just moved to Fairbanks about 6 months ago and he was telling me how beautiful the trees were. I've been waiting for him to post up some pics, but now I don't have to.

 

[Jayhawk]

Awesome scenery, and great pics. What a bummer the season is coming to a close for you. Just getting fit to ride here in Dallas.

 

[Redbone]

Nice pics KJ, we have trees starting to turn here now too. But I am going with the mindset that it still is warm enough to ride.

Awesome pics KJ!!!! One of these days I am going to take enough vacation time to ride across and pop up that way. Lots of great riding between Ontario and Alaska!! Just have to put one of those ugly reserve tanks on cause I hate running out of gas in the middle of nowhere!!

I was in Alberta for 12 days in 2004 and want to go back because I did not have enough time to spend in the places I went. I went to Waterton NP, Banff NP, Buffalo Head Smashed In Jump, Drumheller Dinosaur exhibit. Way too much to see in the short time I was there! Just to ride Waterton and Banff NP's would take a couple of weeks to photograph and enjoy all the sights. The ride from Michigan is kinda boring going across the top of the U.S. , so I would want to go through Canada when I go again. :thumbs up:
If I had my choice I would spend all the rest of my summers riding in and around the Rocky/ Cascade mountains from Colorado to Alaska.unk:

Brian,

We need to get a group of us together and travel en mass to KJ's place:biglaugh: Would be a great ride for sure!!

Next time you are up this way give me a call. A trip through the Rockies is always amazing, and there is alot to see here. The dinosaur exhibit is pretty cool isn't it.
