The 2007 Taurasi Radici boasts stunning richness, depth and power, yet remains relatively accessible and approachable for such a young Taurasi. Juicy dark cherries, cinnamon, plums, spices, incense, tobacco and a myriad of aromas and flavors saturate the palate as this big, textured wine opens up in the glass. Despite its considerable richness and plushness, the 2007 never loses its classical sense of structure. If that combination sounds appealing, believe me, it is. This is a flat-out stunner from Mastroberardino. Best of all, it will drink beautifully pretty much right out of the gate. I imagine the 2007 will be a total home run in restaurants or in other settings where young wines are opened as a matter of necessity. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2032.
This is impressive with black peppercorns and tar as well as lots of dark fruits such as blackberries. Comes through in the nose and the palate. Full and velvety.
This full-bodied red mixes ripe plum and racy wild berry flavors with layers of spicy underbrush, game, ash and dark tobacco notes. Shows fine length, with a smoky aftertaste. Drink now through 2022.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 9/25/12
The ruling on the field will stand. The NFL has spoken after the disputed call that gave the Seattle Seahawks a 14-12 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Monday night. Replays indicated that Packers cornerback M.D. Jennings had possession of the pass in the end zone, but referees awarded the catch to Seattle's Golden Tate after the two wrestled for the ball on the turf. One official signaled touchdown and the other indicated an interception. It's worth mentioning that while the replacement referees are being blamed for the gaffe on the field, the replay officials who reviewed the play were not replacements but rather full-time league employees. In any case, the NFL issued the following statement on Tuesday: "While the ball is in the air, Tate can be seen shoving Green Bay cornerback Sam Shields to the ground. This should have been a penalty for offensive pass interference, which would have ended the game. It was not called and is not reviewable in instant replay. "When t...

The high school baseball season is well underway in North Alabama. And we are freezing to death.
Forget the hot dogs and popcorn: our concession stands stockpile hot chocolate and coffee. And the chatter around the backstop isn't about batting averages; it's about which size propane tank a mom needs to keep her portable heater burning all the way through a double header.
Little sister, who has attended more baseball games than her second-grade math knowledge could possibly tally, hangs out in the bathroom with all the other little sisters. "It's stinky, Mommy, but at least it's warm," she says. "And those hand dryers are heaven and joy, Mom. Heaven and joy!"
The Braves are working out now, too, with opening day still six weeks away. And did I mention they are in FLORIDA?
Spring training – baseball –where it's warm. Nice concept. In case you missed the news over the last few weeks, those of us in the South are somewhat unprepared to deal with cold, and I'm not just talking about freezing rain and snow on our streets.
The crowds aren't very animated at these games, largely because they are tucked inside tents and sleeping bags, buried under quilts and coats, and shivering so hard that speaking is difficult. Ever try to whistle with frozen lips? Clap with mittens? One friend told me about a man who brings his duck blind to his son's games, watching from the shooting hole. Puts his heater inside and he's toasty. But his kid might not know he's there because he's camouflaged.
Make fun if you want, but our northern neighbors might react just as badly if they were dropped in Alabama in mid-July with a temp of 102 degrees with 99 percent humidity. Melt or haul hay? Let's just say we have animals to feed. A noon game at Turner Field? Heaven and joy, Mom. Heaven and joy!
We're used to heat; functioning in it is necessary. Baseball in February is unnecessary. And moronic. And somewhat miserable. Our boys will be finished with their seasons by the first week in April. That leaves eight weeks of school, according to my rough calculations. Or 10 if you count all those snow days from earlier this month.
After baseball season, our schools still have time for a spring football jamboree. Perhaps it's more important that our football players, layered in pads and equipment, play in the heat. Whatever happened to logic and reason? The powers-that-be, the "grown-ups" as one friend calls such decision-makers, know that we will come, no matter how cold it is. They know the moms like me would rather watch their teenagers play ball than eat, or sleep, or be warm. And they are right. The forecast calls for 18 degrees at tomorrow night's game against an area rival. I'm stocking up on the propane today. I'll assure Khi and Ben that not only will I be there, I'll be cheering as loud as I can. They just may not be able to hear or see me, deep inside my camouflage sleeping bag.

The Pet Barrier Radio Dog Fence Kit comes in a ready to go box. Once you unbox it, all you have to do is set it up- the dog fence wire is run around the boundary of your property and then connected to a small dog fence transmitter via a unique radio FM frequency. The radio signal is then projected from the wire to create a dog proof barrier. When the dog approaches the radio barrier the collar he's wearing gives off a warning tone and then a static pulse to discourage your dog from going near or beyond the barrier.

I owned both versions of the 120 macro. It was a great macro lens but I didn't like it for portraiture. I sold the autofocus version because I always focussed it manually and the manual focus lens was much cheaper.
The 35mm that I had was really sharp and I prefer manually focussing a wide angle. I never owned the autofocus version to compare to it for sharpness. I never heard that the FA was sharper. You learn something new all the time!
The manual focus lenses do seem to be better built then the FA versions.
I did own the manual focus 45mm and 55mm lenses and also the 400mm FA but I flipped them and never shot film with them. I also owned both zoom lenses. I didn't like them because of the weight. I'm not really a zoom guy although I do own one for my digital camera for shooting sports.

Forwards Ramzi Abid (G, 2A), Pat Dwyer (2A), Kip Miller (G, A) and Jared Ross (2G) and defenseman Braydon Coburn (2A) also added multiple-point nights as the Wolves (15-16-2-6) won for the first time in four tries. Chicago's offense was paced by five power-play goals - one shy of matching a season-high.
Wolves netminder Michael Garnett (1-3-4) picked up his first win as a member of the Wolves this season, turning aside 28 of 31 shots.
With three seconds left in the middle stanza, MacKenzie's second goal of the night ran the Chicago lead to 4-1 and held up to be the game-winner. The Wolves center intercepted a break-out pass in the high slot, cut to the middle of the zone and ripped a snap shot, top-shelf, and over Knights goaltender Curtis McElhinney's shoulder.
"More than everything, we got a big win tonight," said MacKenzie. "I love being able to chip in every now and then, but its just great to be part of a team victory. The bottom line is the two points we got tonight."
Miller and the Wolves made use of a five-on-three power-play to open the scoring, 1-0, 7:52 into the contest. Miller broke behind two defenders and one-timed a crisp feed from Dwyer past McElhinney's outstretched pad and into the back of the net.
McElhinney recorded 26 saves on 33 shots.
Late in the opening period, Chicago struck again on the power-play when Ross converted on his sixth goal of the season. Abid slipped a pass through a crowd in the crease to Ross, who circled the net and tucked the puck in between McElhinney and the right post at 19:35 of the opening period.
Thirty-three seconds into the second period, Omaha cut the Chicago lead in half, 2-1, when left wing Eric Nystrom beat Garnett, stick-side, with a wrist shot from the top of the right circle.
Chicago's third man-advantage marker of the tilt, and MacKenzie's first, pushed the lead to 3-1, 10:37 into the second period. After Dwyer sent a shot on goal that McElhinney knocked down with his blocker, MacKenzie rushed for the rebound and quickly punched home his second goal of the season.
Ross lit the lamp a second time, 2:27 into the third period, to give the Wolves a 5-1 advantage. Ross deflected a shot from Coburn that landed in McElhinney's pads, then tapped home his own rebound.
Knights left wing Brandon Prust cut the Wolves lead back to three, 5-2, with his sixth goal of the year. With Omaha (16-19-1-7) threatening on the power play, defenseman Tim Hambly drilled a shot from the left point that found its way through a crowd before being deflected by Prust and past Garnett at 7:28 of the final frame. Just under two minutes later, Nystrom's second goal of the night made it a 5-3 game at 9:22.
MacKenzie completed the hat trick at 11:04 of the third period when he intercepted a clearing attempt at the blue line and rifled Chicago's fourth power-play goal of the night into the back of the net. Then, Abid's team-leading 19th goal of the season - and the team's fifth man-advantage marker of the evening - capped the scoring at 17:05 of the third period.
After a day off, the Wolves start a three-in-three when they travel to Iowa to battle the Stars at Wells Fargo Arena on Friday at 7 p.m.

Given that Charlie said several months ago that for the november date to be even possible at all,they'd have to get all the features,clocks and yeilds for Fermi working the way they wanted to from the very first revision of the Chip,which is something that pretty much never happends on the first revision of anything,never mind one with 3 billion transistors on a brand new 40nm fabrication process.
Then there was the little fact that when he made that statement in late september,as some of the GP-GPU related features of fermi were officially revealed one week after ATI unveiled the HD5870 cards,they didn't even have the first revision of Fermi back from TSMC yet,so how can one make availability predictions on something they don't even have working silicon of as of late september?.
Remember the hastily made card that Nvidia's CEO was proudly holding and showing to the crowd,stating that it was a fermi based,when it clearly wasn't by the sawed off PCB and wood screws holding the heatsink in place ....Nvidia's CEO lied about that plain and simple too....He's basically a top flight bull****ter of the worst degree to be a willing part of a stunt like that.

What is the very best (or most useful) painting or art gift you've ever had as a present, whether it's something you bought yourself as a treat or something someone gave you? What do you wish someone would give you? What would you get if money were no object?
Best Gift
- A travel size box of Cotman Winsor & Newton watercolors. The 24 half-pans. This goes everywhere with me. Also, money to buy the art supplies I've needed most of my painting life. I have an old set of Grumbacher pastels, 90 in a nice wooden box, I used in college. I'll never part with these. I still use them.
- —Guest Amaurer
Schmincke Watercolors
- One of my greatest motivators for getting surgery done on both eyes was wanting to paint. (The other thing that motivated me was driving again.) After my eyes had healed and my vision and color perception were really good, I treated myself to a box of Schmincke watercolors, a set of 48. They have been worth every dollar they cost. I'm no great shakes as an artist, I know, but these watercolors make my efforts look better.
- —Guest sandybmc
Oil Paint Starter Set
- After taking about , um, thirty years off from painting, my husband gave me an oil paint starter set for my birthday about 10 years ago. I haven't quit painting since!
- —jAlida
Chair on Wheels!
- I want a sturdy chair with wheels for my studio. I reached down to retrieve a "rolling paint brush loaded with paint and fell out of my cheap plastic lawn chair injuring my elbow and shoulder when I landed on the edge of my floor fan. So I want a chair that is NOT flimsy since this is the second time I have pulled this stunt!
- —monicamcdonnell
A New Paintcase!
- My old carry-on luggage with wheels is getting really old! A new one with pockets would be amazing to stuff and go!
- —Dragonflylady50
Gift Certificate
- Give a Gift Certificate to an online art supply house, they can buy what they want. How about painting their portrait? Give them a book on their favorite painter.
- —Guest shrl/papaya
Magical Master: Chardin
- I received for my fifty year's old a wonderful big book about Chardin from my wife. (Title "Chardin" published by Hazan, Paris 1994, author Marianne Roland Michel.) Several fabulous details of his technical mastery are explained. This book never leaves me.
- —yover
Famous Paintings in Your Pocket!
- "250 Masterpieces in Western Painting" is a boxed set of famous paintings reproduced on art history flashcards. Every famous painting is explained and analyzed by on the back of each Card; the front has a faithful reproduction of the artwork. Great for travel because they are portable (4"x6"), and color-coded by destination. Fascinating to learn the history of painting so easily!
- —SusanBenford
I'm with the easels...
- I want Santa to bring me a good French easel this year. I will hardly wait for the nice weather to get here to paint outdoors.
- —upsydaisie
Try something different
- Give YUPO the "plastisized" paper. It is entirely different from other papers! Pigments rest on top and aren't absorbed. A fun and different painting experience.
- —Guest abstractartphotos
- A set of miameri watercolours, or a number 9 kolinsky sable brush would do equally fine!
- —Guest Dodo
a complete palette of Utrecht acrylics
- I received a complete palette set of Utrecht heavy body acrylics in 2 pound cans, from a student who had ordered a set for herself & accidentally hit a 2 for 1 sale sending me the second set as soon as it arrived at her home.
- —jrjarvis
More easels
- I want tabletop easels and floor models. I can use them outside or as display units. I am always looking for places to put works in progress that won't touch anything. Cheap ones are cool. Adjustable fans are great for the studio. Walmart cards are great too to download music to our MP3s while we work. Most of us are inspired by music. Non-vocal CDs are great too.
- —DawnMarie77
Lots of paint
- Give me lots of paint! The expensive colors like cadmium red.
- —Guest RR
- A whole ream of heavyduty rough watercolor paper which meant I could stop worrying about wasting a piece as there was plenty more on hand and it didn't need stretching.
- —Guest Josie

Fuji House of Commotion
Amaka Igwe, the creator of Fuji House of Commotion, the hilarious popular Nigerian sit.com on TV, could not have had a better hit.
It is not as if the organised chaos of the fictional Fuji family was not spicy enough. Were that not so, millions of viewers would not quake with laughter, yet holler for more of the Fujis' comic stuff. Rather, Ms Igwe's peculiar hit emanates from that artistic territory, where life imitates art.
Now, put on one side the globally acknowledged Nigerian penchant for mirth, whatever the situation. Put beside that the organised chaos of Nigeria's realpolitik. You probably would realise the fictional commotion in the House of Fuji is closer than you think to the real commotion of the Naija House which, by the way, the American Karl Maier assured himself had fallen by July 2000, when he published his famous book, This House Has Fallen: Midnight in Nigeria. But Nigeria and Nigerians continue to laugh to scorn Maier and his fellow alarmists! Laughing in the face of danger?
That about captures the grave comedy of the January 27 sack, by the Supreme Court, of five governors who had earlier won re-election after their initial elections were judicially annulled.
To start with, the Supreme Court verdict was a triumph of law as common sense, triumph of morality in politics and the futility of impunity in a system supposed to run on due process. Why, even downstairs here, Sanya Oni, railed at the immorality of seeming to reward bad electoral conduct.
The five sacked governors, Adamawa's Murtala Nyako, Bayelsa's Timipre Silva, Cross River's Liyel Imoke, Kogi's Ibrahim Idris and Sokoto's Aliyu Wammako, all of the federal ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), had their elections voided for one electoral malfeasance or the other. Though they won their respective re-runs, must they be rewarded with more years, even if their questionable "elections" forced the re-runs in the first instance?
Common sense demanded a loud no, and that was the point Sanya canvassed with all the logic at his disposal – both in his column here downstairs, and on a television session on Channels. But the law – at least at the high and appeal courts before the Supreme Court sledge hammer of January 27 – said an equally empathic yes! That was the beginning of the commotion.
Still, couldn't matters of tenure determination have gone straight to the Supreme Court for constitutional interpretation, instead of following the whole gamut of verdict-and-appeals at the two lower courts? But then, Ripples is no lawyer and only lawyers are learned!
Top lawyers keep insisting the 2010 amendments to the 1999 Constitution have settled any tenure interpretation question, much the same way, a cynic would sneer, the creation of more states helped to bury the twelve-two-third judicial travesty of 1979, when the same Supreme Court decided that twelve-two-third of 19 states was twelve-two-third states, instead of 13.
But 33 years after that 1979 political judgment, which ab initio, effectively shackled the Shehu Shagari presidency (1979-1983), it is gratifying that political judgments, at least at the highest judicial level, appears to be going out of fashion – just as military coups, one of which terminated the legitimacy-deficit Shagari presidency, are out of vogue.
That is some laudable institutional deepening and this democracy can only be richer for it. But it is cold comfort that there is hardly any deepening in democratic thinking among the political players across the board. That is crystal clear from the sure crises to follow this historic Supreme Court verdict.
Take the cases of Kogi and Bayelsa states, and to some extent, Adamawa State, and you will clearly see the grave danger of a democracy running without democrats.
First the lighter one, Adamawa. For daring to change its leadership, former Governor Murtala Nyako, according to a report in The Nation of January 28, reportedly shut the Adamawa House of Assembly. The reason is simple: Ahmadu Fintiri, that emerged the new Speaker, is no rapturous ally of the former governor!
Now, that the governor is out in the cold, at least for now, would there be a repeat of the James Barka-ousted Nyako match-up, during the former governor's first judicial deposition, pending the re-run of April 2008? Whatever happened to the doctrine of presidential separation of powers?
But the more pertinent question: what democracy survives in a stifling political sociology that breeds an executive stooge to head the legislature, the same legislature constitutionally empowered to over-see and check executive excesses?
Straight to Kogi. Back in January 2011 when PDP staged its Kogi primaries, in readiness for the April 2011 elections, Jibrin Isah, aka Echocho, won the ticket. But barely a year later, a fresh primary threw up Idris Wada.
So, what did Echocho do in September 2011 to forfeit a ticket he had won in January 2011? That is the question pending before the Supreme Court. That probably forced the panic by former Governor Ibrahim Idris to literally railroad to power Governor-elect Idris Wada, with his ludicrous swearing-in by the President of Kogi State Customary Court of Appeal, Justice Shuaibu Atadoga. But even His Customary Lordship knew he could only do that job if the Kogi Chief Judge, Justice Nasir Ajanah, was unavailable. The CJ swore in the Kogi Speaker. So, two "governors", one seat. A political equivalent of Fuji House of Commotion?
Still, more commotion waits in the Jonathan-Sylva Bayelsa political "civil war". Chinua Achebe quipped in one of his novels, always replete with Igbo wise cracks: when a coward sees somebody he could beat up, he becomes hungry for a fight! Ironically, the acclaimed writer himself can testify to that, for the Jonathan presidency reportedly withdrew financial support for an international literary conference the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) was planning to honour Achebe. Reason? Because the writer backed the fuel strikes!
For former Governor Sylva, it is testy times indeed! Like Kogi's Echocho, Sylva won the Bayelsa PDP nomination in January 2011 but he also lost it in December 2011! There are even dark suggestions that the ousted governor, shorn of his immunity, could be muscled out of contention by the powers-that-be.
But ironically, the same developments that make Sylva prey to Leviathan impunity also seem to strengthen his hands, when the issue is due process. Will the Supreme Court rule for or against, as the embattled governor insists on the inviolability of the January 2011 nomination, which he won? Only their Supreme Lordships could tell!
Before then however, the front is not without some gripping drama. Imagine, Nestor Binabo, Bayelsa Speaker and acting governor, immediately after swearing-in, promptly by himself, removing Sylvia's portrait "sharp-sharp" – as the street-wise would probably say in down-town Yenagoa! Whatever happened to the united Bayelsa executive-legislative phalanx behind Sylva!
Let the judiciary continue to shell Nigeria's power delinquents with the full weight of the law. Better a corrective Fuji House of Commotion, than a Hammer House of Horror of systemic collapse! But let the delinquents beware: there is but a thin line between commotion and horror!

Today I finally got around to making a quilt with dd for the baby. We had picked out the fabrics months and months ago. We just never found time to do it. I chose a very easy pattern as she is only six. I helped a little bit of course and tied it, but she did all the piecing.
With some leftovers I made a cover for a hot water bottle (called a kruik in dutch). It's an metal water bottle the baby nurse pots boiling water in to warm up the baby's bed. It's quote old fashioned, but it is still a necessary piece of baby gear. :-). To their credit, it does make the bed that much cozier and the chance of LO waking up lower.

2008 F650gs
Just curious if anyone has opinions or thoughts about the 650GS for fire roads and gravel roads? Will the rims be ok for that sort of riding?
While they are cast rims, they look more beefy than many I have seen. Also, apparently the 800 spoked rims aren't really as beefy as you might suspect...
See the pictures at the bottom of this page:
So ... you might buy an 800 and STILL decide the rims are not "fit for purpose" ? :huh
Been riding mine on fire roads. No problems with the rims. Tire are a different story. The stock ones are fine for normal travel but if you plan on more aggressive riding especially on loose dirt/gravel knobbies like the TKC would be better.
Chatting about this on another thread. Blackie, what do you think about throwing some X Country rims and knobbies on the 650 for a little more serious dirt riding? Not motocross, but not groomed dirt roads either.
The xcountry rims might work if it fits....
From the BMW website.

Front Wheel	2.50 x 19 cast aluminum

Rear Wheel	3.50 x 17 cast aluminum

Front Tire	110/80 x 19 tubeless

Rear Tire	140/80 x 17 tubeless

Front Wheel	2.50 x 19 wire-spoke

Rear Wheel	3.00 x 17 wire-spoke

Front Tire	100/90 x 19 tube-type

Rear Tire	130/80 x 17 tube-type

Hope this helps.
Yeah the numbers look about right, just wondering about the other stuff like brake rotor, sprocket mounts etc if those will fit too.
That and axle spacing, too.
I am seriously considering the 650 due to the fact that I "fit" better on it. I broke right leg and it is easier to throw my leg over the 650 due to the fact that is a bit lower. My only concern is that I want to go to South American on it and wonder about the cast wheels. I really don't think that I am going to "bash" it over big rocks/trees/and truck parts if I can help it.
I appreciate any "insights" you might offer about the cast wheels. I realize that if one hits anything big enough it will take out either type of wheel.
Again...thanks for you comments.
Mr. Pete--->
I asked Woody about spoked wheels in the Vendor Forum, and got this.
Post 946
I think that as long as you maintain good pressure in the tires (over 30 psi) the rims will be ok for almost anything you would attempt on the 650. I went uphill on two long runs of concrete steps last week and the rims survived. Maybe not much of a test as hitting a pothole at over 60 but just don't think that there's much to worry about if you keep the psi up.
Don't you usually air down for off-road?
When are you planning on modding your 650 for a trials bike? :D I don't have any stair climbing skillz!:bow

As you already find out, everything at St. Pauli is different than in other places in Germany or Europe.
Golf makes here no exception. Maybe the only one is, that this organization has nothing to do with the famous football club.
The picture on the left shows the "mobile" club home. Outstanding and creativ idea. No Golf club in the world has a similar approach.
Why we put thoose guys on the page ? Quiet simple, that are really hard engaged into social projects of the district. They won the "invitor" of shock rock, Mr. Alice Cooper, for their idea. Mr. Cooper is coming once a year to St. Pauli to play a benefit tournament. Again, here in St. Pauli all comes together…. Innovation and Rock´n Roll…..
Great Guys ….. Well done ..

Trip from Anchorage, AK - Jackson, MS November 2012
Hello ADVriders,
I will be riding from Anchorage, AK to Jackson, MS next week and I'm looking for cheap places to stay along the way. I'm talking $40/night or cheaper places to stay. Obviously I'm going to want to be in a motel or something while I'm in Canada, after I get into the lower 48 camping will be an option. I'm currently looking for places to stay in Whitehorse Canada (Sunday Nov 4th), Smithers or Houston Canada (Monday Nov 5th), Vancouver Canada (Nov 6th and 7th), Las Vegas, NV (Nov 10th), Albuquerque, NM (Nov 11), Dallas/Ft Worth (Nov 12th). If anyone knows of any cheap motels or even has a couch I crash on in any of those cities please let me know. I already have places lined up in Tok, AK and San Francisco, CA. I'm a professional photographer and I have gigs lined up in Vancouver which is why I'm staying 2 nights there. Also, I would be willing to do some photography work to trade out for a room if anyone knows anybody that might be interested in that.
Now about the ride. My plan is to leave on Saturday Nov 3rd and ride to Tok, AK. From Tok its off to Whitehorse, Canada along the Alaska Hwy. From Whitehorse I'm going to stay on the ALCAN until I get to Watson Lake. I'm going to get off the ALCAN at Junction 37 and go south to either Smithers or Houston. From there it's down to Vancouver where I have some work lined up. When I leave Vancouver I'm going to ride down to San Francisco, CA to visit a friend for 2 nights. From there its off to Vegas, Albuquerque, Dallas, and Home! I have plenty of gear and I'm carrying extra fuel with for the ride through Canada. My bike is a 2009 Honda XR650L with Kenda Trak Master II's. I had a local tire shop shoot regular car studs into the knobs so I can get traction on ice and snow. If anyone has any advice or suggestions please let me know. I'd be interested to hear from anyone else who has ridden the ALCAN during this time of year also.
Pack a spare ass...that way you have something to sit on when yours freezes and falls off. :lol3
What the BUK !!!
Damn your crazy. At this time too? Well it's ok I guess since u have all the gear. That's just crazy. But it'll be one fun ride.
Careful some resort are seasonal only and may be closed by now. Keep us updated on your trip mate..
And what's the purpose of going ? Just for the heck ? Or u moving ?
The wind will be a short term issue, once you get out of the valley it should get better. That's when things are going to get interesting for you as you head into the interior and temperatures drop 20-30 degrees from what they are in S. Central. Top that with the 50mph wind chill from riding, and you're down in the -30F range...while stationary on a bike, all day for 3-5 days...yeah, fuck that.
I'd start seriously considering a ride down to Whittier and loading the bike on the ferry.
As it stands, I'd put your chances of making it to Whitehorse at 50/50 IF you are well prepared and sufficiently determined. Beyond that, as far as Watson Lake, at 30/70.
The weather in Palmer (which I came through around 10:30 PM last night) is not at all indicative of what you can experience the rest of the way. That's the banana belt, and aside from occasional strong winds (that were tossing my van around pretty soundly) the weather is comparatively mild. Up toward Tok we've been having temperatures well below zero, and this time of year when it's not clear and cold, it's snowing. Driving through the Nelchina area yesterday morning I was in about 3" of fresh snow that plows had not yet touched.
From my experience (somewhat extensive regarding travel in less-than-optimal conditions) you are being incredibly naive. If you know what you are about to attempt, you would realize that you don't make plans to ride to Tok and stop for the night. If conditions allow travel, you don't stop, you keep traveling regardless of the hour. And when you do stop at night, you have to have made provisions for getting your bike started the next morning. Motorcycle manufacturer's R&D does not include seeing to it that their products are good to -15°F or colder. My Gold Wing has a pair of oil pan heaters under the engine for that reason.
You don't mention heated gear, without which you will be hard pressed to keep warm enough to ride safely. And that Honda, typical of most dualsports, will hardly have the amperage available to run much electric gear. And speaking of amperage - have you added any supplementary lighting? With the short hours of daylight, you will have to expect to ride in the dark far more than you are accustomed to up here. Auxiliary lighting is almost a necessity this time of year. Caribou are migrating through the Slana to Mentasta Pass area, and moose are frequently seen crossing highways.
Road conditions will slow you down from what you could normally travel on these highways, so it will take more days of travel, and therefore expose you to more days of difficult conditions.
Despite it being over 100 miles shorter, taking the Cassiar Hwy south is not something I would recommend this time of year. Having been over it winter and summer, my advice would be to stick to the Alcan for this trip. HOWEVER... if you make it that far, and the road reports for the Cassiar are good, and the weather forecasts are favorable, it might be a good choice in that you don't have the high elevations that abound on the Alcan. BUT... the only way to do the Cassiar if those criteria are met is to do it in one fell swoop, no overnight stops along the way until you reach Kitwanga.
Not trying to talk you out of this attempt. On the contrary, I like to see riders break new ground and accomplish things that few would even attempt. But it's best to be realistic. People who get themselves into dire circumstances due to not being prepared; doing insufficient research; being unbelievably optimistic... end up all too often being the subject of newspaper articles that reinforce the fact that nature does not suffer fools kindly.
If you continue this plan, contact me when you are ready to leave Anchorage or the valley. I'll watch for you to get to Glennallen or Slana (depending on which one I am inhabiting at the time) and do what I can to ensure, as much as possible, your successful completion of the trip. PM will be sent with phone numbers.
Alcan Rider, these are the kind of messages I'm looking for. I'm not running heated gear due to the low power output of the stator. I am bundling up in lots of warm layers and I have chemical body heaters should the layers not be enough. I am an Army veteran and have extensive survival training on top of being a life long hunter/outdoorsman. I would not embark on this trip lightly. I am carrying good survival gear and more importantly, know how to use it. If I can not make Whitehorse I will abort the trip. I have an emergency GPS locator and a 5 day emergency food supply. Short of catastrophic injury I should be fine in the survival department. Now as far as my plan to stop in Tok. I know the temps are going to be much colder there and I want to have a warm place to sleep and be well rested when I make my push to Whitehorse. Also, if Whitehorse proves to be unreachable and I have to turn around I don't won't to come to that realization at midnight when I'm dog tired and can't see. If I make it to White horse as planned I want to be well rested again for the push to Junction 37 so I can make my turn south towards Smithers. At that point I plan to really put some miles on the bike. I'm very determined to make this ride and I am checking road and weather conditions daily. I am also realistic though, if at any point it gets too dangerous to continue I will abort and head back to the nearest town to reassess the situation and plan from there. I really don't want to take the ferry to Washington but I am keeping that option in reserve.
Jack, aka Alcan Rider, knows of which he speaks. :wink:
Having 4 winters of riding studs on my KLR WITH heated grips, socks, and visor, I'm really looking forward to hearing about how this trip goes.
Wishing you the best. Good luck and (hopefully) have fun, Mark H.
I actually decided to go with the studded Kenda tires after reading a post of yours in another forum. I would like to hear any advice you have and your opinion on the feasibility of my plan. We have similar bikes so any insights you wish to share could be invaluable.
You can make it !!
I have a real close friend that I visited with this last summer. That rode from Whitehorse to Tuktoyaktuk via the ice road this last March. He drove a 1200 GS with studed tires totaly solo. The folks in Tuk said he was the first person to make it up there without a support group.
He didn't have any heated gear because if he broke down he didn't want to depend on anything.
He's planning a ride to north slope this Febuary.
I'll try to call him and see if he can do you any good in Whitehorse
I never heated my core during any of the winter riding but have a hard time keeping extremeties warm just sitting in a 50+mph wind. I've done a fair amount of winter mountaineering and IMO it's a LOT easier to keep warm when one is moving around as opposed to sitting on a bike.
And as far as a visor goes, while they may be advertised as fog-free, the condensation has to go somewhere. A Foggy Respro mask may help as I use that in the interem between Fall and a heated visor for the winter.
And remember those disposable heat packs stop working when deprived of air like in a shoe or boot.

[QUOTE=babarnette;19940611]Hello ADVriders,

My husband and I actually went here last year for our anniversary. We loved it so much we're coming back this year! Brenda and Homer are so sweet! Brenda is a fabulous cook and they're both full of information on the area. The inn is beautiful, quiet, and relaxing! The highlight of our trip was the dinner we had with a lovely Amish family. Oh the food! (I gain ten pounds just thinking about it!) If you want to truly get away and enjoy a quiet, relaxing time with loved ones (and make wonderful new friends), this is the place to stay! I can't wait to stay there again!

I spent two nights at the Scottish B & B with my almost grown-up daughters. It was just perfect. The house and the hosts radiated calm, and immediately made us feel relaxed and welcome. Bremen is not far from Chicago, but we felt a million miles from the rushed pace of our daily lives. I TOTALLY recommend this B & B for families, groups, or couples. The food was scrumptious, the room was large, and the company was delightful.

We stayed 1 night in the King Room...it was a very beautiful room. Everything was very elegant and unbelievably clean. Homer was very, very friendly when we checked in and was very welcoming not to mention very knowledgeable . Brenda is so sweet and she really makes you feel like your family...she's very good at remembering names: ) Breakfast was incredible, I don't think we've had a better breakfast at any restaurant. Thank you both for making our stay a memorable one...we will definitely will be returning and we will tell all our friends and family. Kevin and Angie David

I treated a friend and myself to two nights at this B&B, and we enjoyed it very much. The highlight is the breakfasts: large and classy and very delicious. Nice to have many different seating areas to pick from, including the pool room. The pool itself was clean though pretty shallow with a max depth of four feet and only about three feet of water filling it when we were there. Beyond that and maybe more stairs than would be ideal, this was a peaceful and restoring place to be. I'm sending relatives there next month and know they will enjoy it.

My husband and I have stayed at many B&Bs but this one was one of our favorites. The inkeepers, Homer and Brenda, were so helpful and friendly. The King Room that we stayed in was very nice and the breakfasts were incredible! Came away hoping my husband wasn't going to expect those breakfasts at home though. :)

My wife and I stayed at the Scottish Bed and Breakfast from Saturday February 27th- March 3rd 2010 while celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. The host's Brenda and Homer made us feel like family. Their gracious hospitality was beyond what we normally find while staying at a bed and breakfast. Not only did they make you feel at home and would do anything to make your stay great, they actually took time out to talk and share stories with us. It didnt feel like a Inn-keeper/client relationship, it felt like we had known Brenda and Homer for years. They went out of their way to make our stay great. Brenda scheduled a manicure/pedicure treatment for my wife which was great. Also, the dishes that Brenda served each morning were out of this world. They were some of the most delicious and elegant breakfast dishes we have ever eaten. I got to talk to Homer a little bit and it was very enlightning. Also he took the time to sit down with my wife for an interview for a paper that she was writing for a Sociology Class. Homers insight into the Amish Heritage was just fascinating. Beyond the Host's the room was immaculate with the most beautiful hardwood flooring I have ever seen. We stayed in the King Suite. My wife enjoyed the Jacuzzu in the room as well. It was also nice to have your own private TV/DVD setup in the room as well. The Bed and Breakfast was beautiful and up-kept as if it was new. We will definately go back this summer to visit again. If I had to recommend one bed and breakfast ( and my wife and I have been to quite a few) it would be this one hands down. The greatest Bed and Breakfast experience we have ever had. Thank you so much Brenda and Homer, we look forward to seeing you again this Summer.

We spent a couple of days there while our motor home was being repaired near by. It was our first experience with B & B. It was a very comfortable place and they were so friendly. The food was great. They really do love pets. They made our "Cody" feel right at home. It was a beautiful quite place to stay.

We stayed 2 nights in their best room (King Suite). The inn is extremely clean and well-maintained including an Amish chambermaid. Generous, delicious, and exotic breakfasts are some of the best we have experienced at any B&B. The innkeepers are pleasant and very knowledgeable about the area. They also provide a constant supply of treats and home-made desserts. On our second night the inn was completely full including the cottage out back, but the high level of service was maintained throughout. The inn has many amenities including a pool and high speed wireless internet. The only two small items to note for the discerning traveler are your preference for sleep number beds (All rooms have them) and there is an occasional train in the distance. They have a great country location just outside Bremen between US 31 (South Bend) and Nappanee that provides easy access to lots of activities. We recommend: - In room massage services from Fran (1hour $60) - Potato Creek State Park, 17 miles (Swimming, Fishing, Canoeing) - Rentown Country Store (Get there early for fresh Amish breads, pies, etc) - The Vine restaurant in Plymouth, 16 miles Avoid the Wooden Peel in Bremen (Long wait, average food)

We really enjoyed our visit to the Scottish B & B! Innkeepers Brenda and Homer made us feel very welcome and took care of everything. Our room was VERY cozy and exceptionally comfortable. I loved the subtle and clever Scottish flair included in our room's decor. Every breakfast was yummy and we ate to much, but, oh well! Brenda even arranged an evening for us that included an Amish buggy ride and dinner with an Amish family. A wonderful experience. The Scottish B&B's namesake Scottish Terriers were adorable and exceptionally well behaved. The Bremen country-side was quiet and serene.. an occasional distant train whistle brought back happy childhood memories. Thank you Brenda and Homer for a perfect getaway.. we'll certainly be back.

Fog is common during summer months. History and Culture History This area was first settled over 6,000 years ago and was historically Sugpiaq/Alutiiq territory. The Sugpiaq/Alutiiq traveled between Katmai and the Naknek River, pursuing seasonal food sources. After Katmai-Novurupta erupted in 1912 the Sugpiaq/Alutiiq relocated from the Old Savonoski Village, near the ?Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes,? to New Savanoski, on the south side of the Naknek river. Russian fur traders inhabited the area in the early 1800s until the U.S. purchased Alaska in 1867. In 1890 the first cannery opened on the Naknek River. South Naknek was settled permanently after the turn of the century as a result of salmon cannery development. This is one of the many villages along the coast where Laplanders were brought in to herd reindeer. The herds were purchased in the 1930s by the BIA for the local Native economy. The reindeer were allowed to run free in the 1940s, and eventually mixed in with the local caribou. Culture South Naknek is a traditional Sugpiaq/Alutiiq village whose residents are descendants of people displaced by the Katmai and Novarupta volcanic eruptions of 1912. The people of this village practice a fishing and subsistence lifestyle.
