It took me a year and a half to put 4500 miles on the ZX6r, granted they are cayon/track only miles.

Some people take the ferry from Alaska back down to Washington, and then ride home from there.

I took the Ferry up to AK 6 years ago... a cool trip... and I'd do it again, if it was that you'd miss some of the most amazing country by doing so.

oh and it's FUCKING EXPENSIVE! course it's a couple night journey and I had a truck and Uhaul (and a berth w/shower and window)
