Can't wait to see pics! I did a few miles of gravel riding and the cbr seems really unstable. But, the more I rode, the more I got used to it. If you don't get in a hurry, you should be fine. Anyway, looking forward to this!..... :thumbup:
That's pretty killer man. Once I get some more miles under my belt I am planning on making a Anchorage to Homer and then eventually Anchorage to Fairbanks (never even done that in a car) trip.
When you get back I will shoot you a PM. Maybe meet up?
I've ridden to Homer earlier this season and will be doing another run there for this season at the end of august. If you like we can plan something out . Or I'll let you know what days exactly.
Yeah that would be cool. If you can't tell I am a new rider. Reason I want to do a homer trip as my first "long" trip, is that I have actually driven (car) it probably 500+ times (grew up in Seldovia).
But yeah sounds good, when your back I will shoot you a PM. Good luck on the trip!
Corbin seat, Cox radiator guard, Nelson riggs strap tank bag, Firstgear saddle bags, Michelin Roads 3, Crampbuster... thats all i can think of now. will add on to list later.
made adjustment on rear suspension for the extra luggage.
also swap out my tinted visor on the Arai back to clear for better visibility ,cause i know it's going to rain.
Street Mode
camping stuff
moutings
all saddle up.
basic rundown on what im packing: blue roll is my sleeping pad, green bad contains my sleeping bag, orange bag contains clothes,underwear & 1 person tent. camera tri-pod
Right saddle bag will be carrying rain suit, and food,drinks.
Left saddle bag: basic tools,owners manual,first aid,simple camping gears,MSR cooking w/ butane,tire plug kit and simple little things.
Tank bag: carries camera,phone,maps and all that quick needed item. I was'nt able to pack the 2 gal gas jug, which isnt a big deal, but i might pick up a 1 gal jug just in case.. for this trip gas station are plenty
Honestly a part of me thinks you're nuts. I would say cause the time of year your doing it at, but this entire summer has been pretty crappy for weather. But man, the Tourists that will be on the road.....
Tourist in Alaska that is driving the highway is as follows :
"Oooh Moose.. STOP in the middle of the road"
"Oooh Water.. STOP in the middle of the road"
"Oooh Mountain.. STOP in the middle of the road"
And the large majority of our highway system are only one lane (in each direction).
Be safe, and will be cool to see some of your pictures and people's reactions to them.
Hahah yes nuts... But I love riding and the season is almos done.. Traffic isn't an issue. Were bikes , we can always just pass them... And going north usually ain't that bad as going south.
