Alex,
You are referring to my personal stomping grounds. The road (if you want
to call it that) is locally called the North Fork road. It starts in
Columbia Falls (where I live) and follows the north fork of the Flathead
River up into Canada. I have forty acres and a cabin off of the road, 2
miles from the Canadian border. We hunt, fish, snowcat, and dirtride the
NorthFork regularly. Largest concentration of grizzly bears in the United
States, except for Alaska.
The road is 60 miles of dirt and rock, no electricity or phones till well
into Canada. The North Fork has a reputation around here as being one of the
worst roads in Montana. If you`ve ever ridden South America, you`ll have an
idea. The founder of Trail Master Suspensions owns property up there and
used the NorthFork to design some of his kits. Beautiful ride with lots of
trails, but not for the faint hearted. In the summer, it usually takes us
two hours to get to the cabin, sometimes three, and we`re only talking 60
miles.
I was planning on hosting a ride for Northwest riders up the Northfork,
ride the area, and then go into the west side of Glacier Park below our
cabin.
The problem for your Alaska trip is that they will probably be closing
the border crossing on the NorthFork due to insufficient and non-existent
traffic. The road is just too rough for most people. It is perfect for the
KLR.
If you choose another route, or need suggestions, let me know, as we have
crossed into Canada just about every conceivable way, (from Montana and
Idaho, that is).

I dont know if the KLR is the ideal platform for increased braking
performance... It has long forks that tend to dive under heavy braking and
that single disc can pull the forks to the side a bit. I might try some
steel braided lines first. Any front brake work on my KLX is a bitch because
of the pipes which trap air bubbles. Took me an hour last time to expel all
the air. Might be time to invest in a vacuum bleeder.

Yup. Tell them you do not want the dip and you want it 4.5" thick from front
to back. Have them make the seat 13" wide at its widest and you will have a

Subj: FW: Excellent letter
Date: 1/19/99 7:04:24 AM Central Standard Time
The letter below was written by sixteen-year-old
Christopher Vincent.
It appeared in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette, and was picked up
and read by Chuck Colson on his national radio show, "Break Point."
Colson called the letter "brilliant."
-------------------------------------
RE: Character Matters, says 16-year-old To the Editor:
I am 16 years old. Though I am not old enough to vote, I am writing this on
behalf of my generation. The recent speech by the President and the reaction
of our nation to it gives me reason to write this letter in hope that those
who read it
will be challenged to look closely at the condition of our nation.
In the President's speech he admitted to having a relationship with Monica
Lewinsky that was "improper" and "wrong." Then he said that it was time to
move on. Many people have said that the President's private affairs are his
own business and people should not pry. Others have said that the
President's private affairs do not affect the job he does. The President
himself touched lightly upon the supposed injustice of prying into his
personal life in his speech.
Hugo Grotius once said that a man cannot govern a nation if he cannot
govern a city, he cannot govern a city if he cannot govern a family, he
cannot govern a family unless he can govern himself, and he cannot govern
himself unless his passions are subject to reason.
The President is accountable to the people. We must know whether he can
control himself or not. If the President cannot control himself, he
certainly is not capable of governing a nation. Yet we sit in our
selfishness and refuse to look at the truth because it does not feel good.
We look at the nation and see a booming economy. We look around and see
prosperity and say, "Why should we mess this up?" And yes, Mr. Clinton has
helped with all these things. But there are better things than financial
security,
and there are worse things than poverty. We give the control to a man who
can make us feel good but cannot control himself. I would like to call your
attention to a recent international affair where Pakistan and India were
developing nuclear weapons. The President offered a deal to Pakistan
saying that if they would stop developing nuclear weapons the United States
would protect them in the case of an attack.
The Pakistani minister of foreign affairs said that he did not believe that
the President (Clinton) would follow through on his promise. This was because
he saw the character of our President and realized he could not be trusted.
This endangered the lives of the citizens of Pakistan and India, more than
900 million people. Although war has not broken out, we must heed the
warning: the character of the President effects the entire world.
The American people have chosen to become selfish, and my generation-your
children-are growing up seeing the highest authority in America, a man who
cannot control himself. Why should I put others first when the President
himself will not even put his duty to his wife or his nation before his sexual
desires? I'm asking you, the generation that holds the voting power, to think
of your children and the future of the world. If we cannot trust our President
to fulfill his marriage vows, can we trust him to do what he has promised us?
And if we cannot trust the man our
parents elect, can we trust our parents?
You owe it to the world, you owe it to God, and you owe it to your children
to consider this.
