Hello Everyone, Newbie here with big ideas and dreams.

I am living in British Columbia Canada and would love to take a trip north to Alaska this spring, hopefully as early as possible (late May early June) as soon as the roads look good enough. Planning on tenting as much as possible. The bike of choice will be a KTM 950 Adventure. I have experience as an off road rider, but not very much under my belt when it comes to long distance rides. I have done a few weekend camp-out trips and week long off road rides with the tent so I have some idea what to expect, and a lot more to learn. If there is anyone in the area heading this way and would like some company let me know.

Next on the big dream list is to travel Russia entering at Vlad , Mongolia, eventually north to St. Petersburg, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany ending in France. I dont know if I can make it happen so quickly but I would love to do it this year, maybe as soon as my return from Alaska if all goes well.
I have been researching the paperwork and logistics for such a trip so think I have the basics for what is required but would love to plan it with someone, Travelling alone in Russia on a bike does not sound like the easiest , safest way to do it, however its not easy to find someone ready to shut their domestic life down to go on such a venture. So if this sounds like something anyone else is interested in joining forces on again let me know.

Oh and by the way I have the HU DVD, very helpful and inspiring, keep up the great work Susan and Grant

Thank goodness for HU and the HUBB its opened my mind up to the world and it all feels possible.

Good luck to everyone out there on the road, and Im looking forward to joining in the adventures soon.

Ken
