Comments for Two-wheeled Astronaut http://www.ruckerworks.net/blog Riding a motorcycle is not about starting at A and arriving at B.

What I later learned was the weakness in my hand was cause by the on set of carpo tunnel. Fortunately I caught it in time. Do some googling on preventing carpo tunnel and start strengthen your wrist now so you can avoid it in the future. By the way great looking site.

It’s one of the reasons why I chose it (instead of the BMW GS1200 I was originally considering). I hope to make it all the way north to Prudhoe Bay and take a dip in the Arctic Ocean.

I'm really looking forward to reading about your trip to Alaska (and pictures too)! When are you planning to go?
