What are your thoughts with regards to running up to the Arctic Circle on the RK (way more than the 14 miles, DOH)? Road seems to be OK but could be a b*tch if it’s raining. Gas availability seems to be OK but do you recommend a spare tank of gas? From what I've been reading over the last year I feel good about riding to the A/C and I don't plan on going further as I’ll save that for when I get a dual to go along with my RK.
