I was so astonished to see a motorcycle in Tok Alaska this morning, I almost went int he ditch! I pulled into the nearest approach (parked all a-kilter in a snowbank) while digging out my camera and opening the car door... the biker waved and went on his way (laughing no doubt!) while I struggled with the lens cap... he was a long way off before I got the shot off... cropped heavily so you could see him.

I've lived in Alaska since 1969. I really love this wild land. The extremes of the far north shape and affect every living thing. Extremes of weather, elevation, daylight hours, isolation, flora and fauna, nothing in Nature is insignificant.I have a Davis Vantage Pro weather station, uploading to Wunderground, (Turks on the Tundra) the National Weather Service, the Citizen Weather Observation Program and MADIS (Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System).

Reminded me of a friend in Montana, worked on the Railroad also, but different Dept than I did, but he would ride a Motorcycle from Whitehall to Butte, 25 miles over a mountain pass. I would see him often, but I couldn't hardly believe it when I saw him a couple times on that pass when temp was well below Zero, Don't remember now just how cold tho.
He did own a Pickup. You wouldn't catch me doing that! I waited til warmer Spring to ride a bike.
Well... I got a decent picture of the Post Office sign!
I agree, this guy is freakin' nuts! "EXTREME" biker! (maybe there should be a TV reality show.... NOT!)
But we do have a resident who rides his bicycle 365 days a year, no matter HOW COLD... he is a very hardy soul.
Even if I had a driving license for a motorbike, I wouldn't drive it on snow..
