Well, we didn't quite make it to the Arctic Circle yesterday. We got to the Dalton Highway, at Livengood, AK when Erica's throttle cable gave out and her engine just died. Erica, Cris and Lee managed to get her idle cable off and used it as a tempoary fix to replace the throttle cable but we decided it would be best to return to Fairbanks and let Harley do a proper fix.
Cris and Lee decided to continue to the Arctic Circle while Ron and I accompanied Erica back to Fairbanks. We have not heard from Cris and Lee since. They have the satellite phone so they can call us to let us know if they made it.
We heard from Dan "Screw Loose" last night. He's in Anchorage. I don't know if he'll join us for the return trip in a few days.
Erica's bike is all clean and fixed, I seem to have gotten rid of my electrical problems and Ron's Yamaha has had no problems, at all. We are going to head for Denali and then Anchorage today. I should have some pics in the next post. The folks at Fairbanks Harley Davidson were great. They worked on Erica's scoot and got it all cleaned up even after closing hours. Kudos to them.
