I've only ridden up to the Yukon River but have driven up to Toolik Lake several times. The earliest I've been up the road was in April and it was really wet with lots of snow and ice in Atigun pass (4739 ft). I've also been up as late as early September and we were getting snow flurries north of the Brooks Range. As far as the rest of the trip, May through mid-September no problem. I've driven (not ridden) the trip about 17 times.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-17059288857751230282011-05-10T17:34:47.330-08:002011-05-10T17:34:47.330-08:00First ride of the season in May? wow, and it's...First ride of the season in May? wow, and it's only 30 degrees?

And yes, the destination is secondary.<br /><br /><b>Mike:</b><br />When I originally purchased the bike, there were front master cylinder parts in the pile so it must have been a problem for the previous owner. I need to find that box of parts...<br /><br /><b>SonjaM & Bluekat:</b><br />It did feel great to be back on the road. Even at 30°F.<br /><br /><b>Charlie6:</b><br />I haven't disassembled anything yet and it doesn't look like its leaking at the banjo fitting. More likely the O-ring between the reservoir and the master cylinder or the piston. I'm guessing corrosion in the cylinder.<br /><br /><b>Trobairitz:</b><br />It's always sunny and warm around here...RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-25013609451507071082011-05-10T12:38:01.886-08:002011-05-10T12:38:01.886-08:00Hooray for your first ride of the season.

Looks like a great day with blue skies (just a little jealous, but you earned it after all the dark and cold). <br /><br />Hope the brake leak turns out to be an easy fix. Ron just fixed some brake thing on his bike. Don't ask me what, I just helped bleed the brake line...and hose down the bike with brake fluid! :D<br />Jalapeño burger - yum!Bluekathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13485258388887249275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-60440027614070583022011-05-09T18:18:22.178-08:002011-05-09T18:18:22.178-08:00Around 30F is my personal limit, I wouldn't tr...Around 30F is my personal limit, I wouldn't trust my skills below this. But nice to hear it warmed up to 50F, yet you wouldn't find many riders around here pulling the covers from their bikes. <br />Doesn't it feel great to be back on the road? Be careful out there, and I hope to read a lot more from your trips. And next time: food pictures please ;-)SonjaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389245948579828531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-16876481338154984542011-05-09T16:59:37.456-08:002011-05-09T16:59:37.456-08:00Nice first ride report... complete with jalapeno b...Nice first ride report... complete with jalapeno burger!<br /><br />I agree with Allen, the brake leak is probably an o-ring that just thawed out but forgot its original shape. ;)Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11946652999166458805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-70699899179197037942011-05-09T13:15:39.352-08:002011-05-09T13:15:39.352-08:00What!?

My wife used to kid me an a couple of friends I used to ride a bit with, "Will ride for food", or as she put it, "How can you guys ride four hours and end up at a Waffle House?" I keep trying to explain its the ride not the destination.<br /><br />Good luck finding the brake leak. Guessing an o-ring has split.<br /><br />-PeaceAllen Maddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03975320122826127770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-52464802901905529462011-05-09T12:17:44.033-08:002011-05-09T12:17:44.033-08:00You ordered a jalepeno burger on purpose?

Before that point it is only the few who ride here pretty much year around. <br /><br />Glad you got out and that the bike performed well and got you home without incident. Good luck finding your brake gremlin. <br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.com
