    Isn't it weird that in AMERICA our flag and our culture offend so many people......
    but our benefits don't?

    Lenlis, so, based on your comment, I'm guessing
    you flew. Did you rent a bike or spyder in Alaska?

    We are seriously considering trip ...looking to talk to others that have already "Got the t shirt".

    Did not rent bike or spyder. Did the touristy fly/bus/jeep/train/cruise thing. Would love to go again, but with a different plan; I like planning my own itinerary. In fact, my wife says that every trip with me is "an adventure."

    It's getting a bit late in the year for me to be traveling to AK. These old bones would probably not appreciate the temps.

    What I can say is, GO FOR IT! You won't regret it!

    The tourist season is a bit on the short side. June-August--mostly prime. The Memorial Day/Labor Day on/off is about right.

    Fall is in full swing now. Days can be moderate--we have had two weeks of above normal temps--low 60's. The nights now have that fall/winter chill--mid to low 40's.

    Snow expected here (Anchorage area) in less than 30 days. It has been showing up in points North.

    My drive yesterday on the Old Glenn was a sharp reminder that winter is coming. Once behind the mountains, and the sun blocked, the temp dropped a noticeable 10 degrees. The cold air was like walking into a meat locker freezer.

    I ride until the black ice comes on the road--but not a lot of others do. Sept 30--most just park their bikes.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.
