    I depart tomorrow on an 1100 mile round trip ride from Anchorage Alaska to Dawson City, Yukon Territory and back.

    This is how I have the bike set up:
    [​IMG]

    (windscreen, 2 gallon rotopax extra fuel tank, bags with home-made brackets, and a sissy bar bag that straps my sleeping bag and tent to it).

    I'll do a full ride report when I get back (or link it to an advrider.com thread)

    Wish me luck!

    The only thing missing is the shotgun to fight off the bears.

    That and a machete.

    And clean socks.

    Don't forget your toothbrush!

    Have a safe trip.

    Awesome! Be safe and have a good trip. Oh, and if anyone is interested, www.Openroadjourney.com has a 12 part article from a guy that made the trip from Indiana to Alaska. Pretty cool

    +1! I don't imagine the roads up there are very kind to motorcycle rubber. Might even be an idea to bring some tubes along for back-up.

    Good luck with the trip and take lots of pics for us!
