Default Rode to Valdez Alaska on my sportsters evil twin...

I have been riding the piss out of my Buell. I love this thing it is just so much more capable of exploring then the ol sporty. i do miss the sporty but the Buell is starting to steal my heart. Anyways the girlfriend and I rode to Valdez, Alaska to stay the night. The weather up here in Alaska if kinda crazy right now seeing how we were able to ride 620 miles on dry pavement! The temps got down in the low 20s once the sun went down but we made it through. Shes a tough one!


A pretty tall waterfall off the side of the road...







on top of the world. literally.

On the edge of Thompson Pass.

Great pictures! Those roads sure look inviting. If you had broke down how long would you have had to wait for help to arrive? Looks like you had a great time, glad you and your lady had fun.
