    Thanks for that, what a great read. I can see your passion for endurance riding, and I think some others might even get the bug from what you've written there.

    It's definitely something that's in my future... once I've packed the kids up and out in to the world. That is - if we are still allowed to command our own vehicles at that point.

    Cheers for taking the time to write it!

    Yep, we stumbled on it too. Chatted with the owner about the Ariel Square 4 motor in the Norton featherbed frame he put together. Even cast a special cylinder head!

    They have some seriously cool stuff there for just a little place.

    Haha, well, ne'er a truer word said in jest.

    I started doing some digging, pre-lim planning, and I now have to defer to at least 2017. They're building an extension to a Canadian Highway that ends in Inuvik. While there is a winter road to Tuktoyaktuk, it doesn't exist in summer, so they're building it to be a year round road. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuktoyaktuk_Winter_Road

    No point missing out... so I'll delay the trip instead.

    Is that the 8 week tour Ken? Y'know... I think I might ponder over that...

    If you've done the route in previous years, can you flick me some details? You should have an email address or two on file

    Shit... It's such a good idea...

    Even more fun when you do it all twice .............thank god for mid life crisis, may even make a third trip through as a getting old crisis, I am back where I started as a teenager on a metallic blue 250 ( first time a Suzuki T250 now on a CBF250), dont't need to look for a bigger bike, they are parked together
