I just read through an old thread elsewhere that detailed John Ryan's record run. He did it on an FJR... ...it took him about 6 different attempts to actually get the trip underway (Leaving from Prudhoe). Flat tires, punctured oil pans, bad weather etc. kept forcing him to turn back. It can be done on a larger bike but only if you have a healthy support network in AK. ![]()

Plus, don't forget you won't make regular time on the Haul Road between Prudhoe Bay and Fairbanks.
It is 510 miles. Normally, that is 7 hours on pavement. It will take you 13 hours on the Haul Road, if you are *lucky*.

I am going west in 2013. Maybe you should tag along, although there will be dirt.
