Arctic Ocean - Tuktoyaktuk

Another great trip under your belt. What is next?

Link to the writeup please.

How many Iron butts did this qualify for Rollin?

BMW - this is not his first trip like this. He is quite the long distance, challenging terrain rider. His blog or maybe it is threads on the iron butt site are great reading. Hopefully he will post the links again.

Here is a google link to some of his rides.

Damn Steve that was an important detail you left out. Glad you are healing and the bike survived. This is the first hard fall you have taken on one of these trips isn't it?

Yeah that helmet belongs on your trophy wall. Did you have another visor for it to go home? You were lucky to an extent. Much of your survival can be attributed to your pre-ride preperations.

Well I am glad you made it back, more or less in one piece. You going to fix the bike up and then where you going?

Your young, maybe something will pop up on your radar.

Very nice, noticed it was blowing you around a bit.

Do they have 'blue nose' certificates? I know on a ship if you cross the Arctic Circle you get the certificate.

I read the entire ride damn son you did an impossible ride. Looking at that road on the way up I don't know how you managed to ride it. Road looked a lot better on the way back when you had the accident. As we all know it just takes a second to be distracted. Reading between the lines I think that is what happened to you.


Great story, thank you for sharing. Did you ever take the CTX on a long trip, I can't remember?

Jasper is beautiful, glad you had a good day to share it with us. Thank you for taking us along on your ride.


How is your wife doing?

Glad she is doing as well as can be expected.

It is always great to have a well thought out plan, execute it and never need it. BUT that one time you do, it is even better when that plan works and it does protect you.

You missed a spot!

Rollin, why don't you repost the link to your trip? We have a lot of new members here, besides I wouldn't mind reading it again.

Thanks,
John

Steve,
Just finished re-reading the entire report. Great read and pictures. How are you doing any aches and pains? And how is your wife doing?

Actually it has been a year and a half, but with the memory loss thing a year is good
