Additions for 2001 record.
- Auxiliary fuel cell
- catheter
- Valentine radar locator
- all food for entire trip consumed while riding from tail pack on rear seat
This time-consuming step was eliminated by having all food available right behind me for 2001, with a spare pocket for garbage. Route was slightly shorter in 2001.
The day before starting my ride.
My starting receipt.
I used the very same pump I finished my record with in 1999.
Taken during my record ride.
The only visible part of my 'system.'
Less than 60 hours later, getting my finishing form signed in Vancouver

ReplyDeletejust bought a 2000 ST1100 two months ago. Somewhere in the back of my mind was a memory of your trip across country on one. Always wanted an ST likely due to the high speed mile crunching big range that your record run proved. Anyway, this past weekend I wanted a small taste of what the bike can do. Left Comox around 3:20 and one ferry run and 25 hours later I was in Moose Jaw. BC was a wreck with the insane traffic and constant construction going on. Once I hit AB the miles started. At the Sask border area in the dark I kept just missing the carcasses of deer and maybe one sheep? Throw in the raccoons and dead foxes and I was getting nervous. They were almost impossible to see even as I slowed down dramatically. I still felt good physically in Moose Jaw but mentally was tired of running the scenario or my front wheel hitting a low lying deer that I called it a night. Spent the nest two days retracing my tracks. 1900 kms straight is my new record in poor conditions no less. In ideal conditions my mind wanders as to what if.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, thanks for inspiring me a long time ago and still having the yardstick to chase. Steve
