^Top of the World Highway a F6B...Good Idea?

[valkmc]

Well, the photos are outstanding and Alaska looks like once in a lifetime ride! That said, at 78 with a lot of seat miles, I think the F6B and I will stick to the paved roads. The second and third time over the Bear Tooth Pass with the gravel top went faster standing on the pegs and gassing it through the slippery stuff but the idea of doing days of pegging it and letting the bike dance under me just does not sound as much fun as doing a 100 MPH on some of those lonely roads through Kansas, Montana, Nevada and Utah.

I really enjoyed the laid back ride from Ohio to California and back last year.

Thanks for the quick feedback. I think I will change my plans and do Sturgis and on up through North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington and back. I am sure they offer some great riding without going off road.

I rode from Central Fl. to Alaska a few years ago. 12k miles. The Alaskan Highway was amazing. P6280182.jpg


Only gravel in one spot P6290196.jpg However this happened a couple of times when they repair the road there is no way around. Met some nice people during the stops!! I stayed away from the trip to the article circle, it had been raining prior to me making it there and the Dalton Hwy was a mess.
