About Me

My photo
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.

Check Up

Got the whip up on the stand for its first service. Fluid change, electronics check, chain tension, grease, clutch/brake adjustments and tire pressures.


Now that this is complete I can increase both speed and distance, and get some real practice riding for longer periods of time. I recently acquired some gear that needs testing as well. Looks like a little multi-day trip planning is in order. But before I get to that... I feel like I need a little vacation from all this Alaska trip prep and planning.
