About Me

Thrukon is a 2500 mile sub-arctic glacial survey on two motorcycles through sections of British Columbia, Yukon Territory and Alaska. The survey team hopes to observe and document important glaciers along the route north, while attempting to capture the spirit of exploration. The general approach for the trip will be part travel documentary and part research survey, which will involve riding motorcycles equipped with the necessary gear for field research, camping and video/photo documentation; as well as limited spares for any unforeseen events. This blog is the repository for all of the information gathered in preparation for and during the journey.

Partial Success!

This whole thing was turning into the pathetic story of an inexperienced road motorcyclist having a hard time getting his M1 license. Most of the footage we’ve shot at this point has been focused on the tribulations of the licensure process. But things are looking up...

 Over the weekend I drove out to the training range in Inglewood, stood around for an hour waiting for the class to break, and picked up the elusive DL-389 in person.

 A process that should have taken 14 days; took twice that amount of time. After nearly a month, I finally have the DL-389 in my hand. 

 The next step is to take the DL-389 and the motorcycle permit (which I received back in August) to the DMV, so they can issue the M1 license... I can’t imagine the good times we’re going to have there.

Below are a couple of video stills of the acquisition.
