spd522 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) My wife and I are going for the first time in August for our 20th but not on a mc. It can get cold there even in summer. Really looking forward to it. Craig Edited January 10, 2011 by spd522 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexmoney Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Has anyone here done it? 41mag went all the way up, last year (from Ohio). I think he blogged for the trip. Pat rides his BMW bikes 20k miles a year. Heck, when he got back from Alaska, I think he flew out to Colorado and picked up another bike to ride back to Ohio (after sight-seeing in that part of the country). {eta} http://ohiorainmaker.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff of WA Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) Has anyone here done it? My wife and I made the trip last Summer. Took the Alaska ferry from Bellingham Washington to Haines Alaska (a three day trip) then rode thru BC and Yukon to Fairbanks. Spent a day in Denali park and went on around to Tok and home. Whatever you do, don't pass up a chance to fill your tank. Have you gotten a copy of "The Milepost" yet? It's an annual publication about the Alaska Highway that is an essential planning tool. Don't make the mistake of forgetting that handguns in Canada are a NO NO. When we were crossing into BC from Haines there was a guy ahead of us that thought he could take some pistol parts thru. Not a gun, parts. They turned him back. Riding, Eating and Shooting with friends, Geoff of WA Edited February 4, 2011 by Geoff of WA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
