[QUOTE="camera56, post: 349860, member: 2217"] Friends Anyone on the forum ridden to/in Alaska? I'm planning to go at least once in 2008 leaving from Seattle. Going to ride the FJR. I know this topic is discussed to death on other forums, so what I'm really interested in here is the perspective of someone who has done it on an FJR, or a bike like an FJR. The general idea is to ride up and take the Alaskan Ferry back. Probably only going as far as Whitehorse/Skagway. In particular, any suggestions about the following . . . [LIST][*]Prepping the bike [*]Tire choice (assuming I take the Ferry back, my max miles will be 2500 or so) [*]Gear you'd take [*]What tie-downs to take for the Ferry ride back [*]Places you'd recommend [*]Thoughts on Stewart-Cassiar Hwy 37. My understanding is sections of it are gravel [/LIST] Thanks in advance for any thoughts, help, pointers, etc. [/QUOTE]
