Lee, Where did you take the pipeline pick you posted? Near Valdez?
That accident pic was interesting. We crossed back into the stateds in Idaho (Porthill I think). Riding south we came to either route 95 or route 2 which had just been oiled and was really slippery. Roy was following a ford Ranger that pulled over to the side in the gravel. Then promptly started a U-turn right in front of him. He ran into the rear fender. Who knew that a Ranger had fiberglass fenders? Prolly saved his bacon, but the bike was a total. We were 300 miles from the end of the ride (Polson). Roy called his friend and they came and picked us up with the trailer. Lady in the pick up said she was turning to catch a yard sale. No signal (they didn't work). We were on a reservation and Roy ended up with a ticket cause the lady was a local.
