Proof that I have lost my mind (Crazy Trip)

Well since I am going to Alaska and staying indefinitely it will be my final destination with the road to prudhoe bay being optional. If I opt out of it I may try it later in the summer when I could have a buddy follow me in his car.

Either way, the bike will get up there.

As the time to departure winds closer I am hoping to get some better information on the areas to ride out West from some of the west coast members. I will hit up the gap here.

I am also trying to get a rough estimate out of the mileage i can expect out of my tires. I was planning on budgeting for a new set depending on how they look in the weeks up to my departure.

Also, if I am running synthetic oil and running all these miles up, is it still needed to change at 3k miles even if that could literally occur 3 times over the trip? Could I extend it out to maybe 4K or 5k? Thoughts on the mileage I can expect on my sprocket and chain? I have 6k on the bike now.
