    purdhoe bay alaska

    anyone ever been there?
    I feel the need for a new trip.
    obviously it would be next year july/august.
    any ideas about extending the fuel carrying abilities?
    the furthest distance between gas stations is 214 miles.

    First bike was an: 1978 XS1100
    Second bike is an FJR1300.
    Now I'm restoring a '79 XS1100.
