I guess I am really getting old!!!...I would not take a trip like suggested on this thread if my life depended on it...Much to risky and dangerous for my liking...It is tough enough in winter to go that far in a cage, let alone a bike.....But, as they say..."to each his own"..Good luck my friend, but I might suggest you think long and hard about the negatives of this venture before you go....JMHO
