No havent

 

Ive followed your tread all along. Thanks for inf

 

Any questions at all, feel fee to ask

 

I would strongly recommend that you consider having a lot of the 3M protective clear film installed on your bike before your trip.

I went to AK in 2000 and my new UC took a severe gravel beating, especially to the lower fairings and the fronts of the saddlebags.
Cover whatever you do want to have repainted. The cost of the of this material is far less than repainting later on.

In addition to what others have suggested. I would suggest that you consider taking the ferry south out of Haines, AK down to WA.
This saves a lot of miles on your bike (on roads that you've already ridden) and the cabin costs (book now if you want to do this) may be more than motel rooms but you can relax, eat, drink, party and rest up for the rest of your trip.

There's a lot of great scenery between WA and MO but I'd recommend that you consider Mt St. Helens and Crater Lake if that fits in with your schedule and routes.

I planned my return trip so that I would be near Sturgis, S.D. in time for bike week and I had my wife and other relatives trailer out and we had nearly a week of touring the Black Hills before heading for home.

So much to see out that way so squeeze as much in as possible even if it means some creative and out-of-the way trip planning and routing!

 

In construction zones always filter to the front if their waiting their turn to go .... the flagers and pilot
cars will direct you to do so...... when you approach a moving bunch of cars, stop at the Stop person, and wait for the next bunch to move.... you don’t want to be tail end Charlie in line of 50 cars on dusty sealcoating.

 

ive already had the bike covered with the HogSkins protective film. As far as route we going up the west side to Prince George then over 16 to 37 to Alcan to Tok then to Anchorage to Fairbanks then we are gonna come down thru Jasper to Glacier then onto Sturgis so no ferry needed. All total about 10,000 miles by the time get home. Piece of cake.

 

Nice....’the same route I took ..... head into Stewart, the drive through the Mountains is superb, watch for Bears..... if your staying in Tok, I stayed at the Golden Bear Motel, coming & going, great room, good people and excellent grub.

 

Keep an eye on your tires. Every morning b4 you ride take a look. Roads up there seem to eat em.

 

Yes we are going to Hyder also. Staying Tok at the Sourdough campground. Had heard good things about it and says its a fun place too with good food in the morning. Planning on Fast Eddies the night before.

 

Have heard that from several people. We all have our bikes at the dealers getting new tires on and oil changes done right now. Also have made our appointments in Anchorage to get services done there.
