I rode from Calgary Alberta Canada on a boney called a virago up to the Yukon North West territories to a small town called Dawson City to where I was helping out on shooting sismic back in 1997 . The ariolis - dancing stars - Northern lights are awsome in the summer late evenings .:) B)

Ps .
When I got there I thought my ass was going to fall off my body its one very very long ride roughly 1800miles took me 2 and a half days . Well thats the futherst I been on 2 wheels .:)
