Hello from D2D

I was having a great time riding across Canada and had the pleasure of crashing D2D and partying on the dome in Dawson City for the solstice until my motor seized on the Alaskan side of the Top of the World Highway. Now I'm having a great time in Fairbanks trying to get my bike fixed, get another bike or ship it home.

Get another bike to make it home and ship that to repair at home.

That's what I'm leaning towards but the bikes at the dealerships were an 09 KLR for $5,000 or an 05 1200GS with 70,000 miles for $9,000.

Location, location, location. Supply and demand at it's finest. Good luck. It all adds to the adventure, right?
