I had the same problem and had to get my carbs drained. The ethanol in the gas turns into a milky syrup after awhile in the carbs. Once I had the carbs drained it worked fine. JayJay

I had rotator cup surgery a few years ago. Mine was a complete tear where all the tendons had torn off in a fall. After the surgery I woke up with my arm strapped to my chest so it wouldn't move and tear the stitiches. The pain in the hospital was controlled with a morphine drip. After I returned home and the healing began I was told to start excercising it by bending over holding on to a chair and start making small circles with the arm. As the excercising progressess the circles get bigger and bigger until you have full use of the arm again. I was off work for about six weeks. JayJay

Hi Jeff, I rode my Venture up there last year. The trip was great except for the construction along the way. From Haines Junction to Beaver Creek we ran into a few miles of construction and in the rain so it was slow going. From Beaver Creek to the border the road has a lot of frost heaves in it and I bottomed out a few times and scratched my pipes. From the Border to Tok there were quite a few dips and potholes in the road but after that the road was good again. Sure is a beautiful place to ride. We always stopped for gas before we got too low because you can never be sure if the gas station listed on the map or GPS is still open. We ran into a few that were closed down. We went in June and found that there were no mosquitoes or black flies to contend with but when we got higher up between Haines Junction and Haines we had ice flows in the river and snow beside the road so we had to plug in our heated vests.

Here in the Canadian Prairies we wear heated vests in the spring and fall and we put a switch in one of the wires to enable us to turn it on and off. I fed the power wire up the front of the seat and installed the switch on the vest. It sits near the top of the seat allowing for easy access. JayJay
