Made it back from BC, Canada and a little slice of Alaska. Wonderful trip. The GS1200 is a beast of a bike that gobbles up the miles.

If you want to check out the rest of the story, the new portion of the trip starts here at advrider.com

I've finished day 9 of about 14, so a little more to go. A few preview photos...

Awesome pdedse

The adv thread is awesome w/beautiful pics

Awesome is a good choice of wording!
Been to Alaska about 7 times, but not on a bike.
3 friends with Sportsters went from east coast to Tok several years ago.
One of them repurposed a throttle return cable for a clutch cable, if I remember correctly.
Just looked it up, it was 2007...wow, time flies!
It was 7 bikes, 4 Sportsters

How Dan got his nickname:

"After the screw got sucked into my front cylinder when my bike was only a few months old (because I didn't use loctite on my Hurricane A/C), the crew I went to Alaska with started calling me Screw Loose Dan..."

PDEDSE: Your trip report is bringing up lots of memories...mine and others!

Ride safe!

Wow, what a cool trip! Thanks for keeping us updated... and me jealous. Still licking my wounds from fixing dry rot and sprinkler pipes at Mom's when I should be out there riding somewhere pretty.

Ok...I finished the ride report at advrider

I had days 1-9 done before, now I have completed days 10-16.

The GS1200 was "a right tool" for the job. It's an amazing bike, but not one that really grabs my attention. I could have done the trip easily enough on my DR650, but a little slower. I saw a few DR650s and KLR650s "out there" making their way to Prudhoe Bay. There were a lot of HDs on the road. Most were larger adventure bikes. African Twins, KTMs, Yamaha Teneres...and BMWs. I didn't see anyone riding a CB1100, but I don't see why it couldn't be done.

Thanks for taking a look.

Now back to my CB1100 and W800!
