That we'd die (or worse). Note: None of the folks who provided the warnings had actually driven on the road...<br /><br />We didn't have time to spare so off we went, across the ferry and onto the TOW Hwy (AKA: Road of Death). <br /><br />It was beautiful to behold and easy enough to ride on our big dual sport bikes. My apprehension completely disappeared, however, when we were approached by a lone ride on a big HD riding with his boots up on the highway pegs.<br /><br />We both laughed and continued a very pleasant ride past Chicken and into Tok.Dan Diegohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08607310510926688099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505434595026982929.post-65076530875780786492016-01-01T07:36:29.406+00:002016-01-01T07:36:29.406+00:00Hi Wooley - Yes, I have been busy running motorcyc...Hi Wooley - Yes, I have been busy running motorcycle tours in Europe and rarely get time to blog any more.

I'll never get to ride most of those great places you have been, but I do enjoy your putting them up for us all to dream about.<br />I hope you and yours have a Great and Happy New Year and wish you a belated Merry Christmas.
