It all depends on your head set. You can have a good time or a bad time. Just depends where your coming from.
The roads through the snow were wet but clear. We followed a car to watch the water in the corners. If there was a splash, go for it. If no splash going over a shiny spot, slow down!

Final Destination?
We had Alaska on our list for travel next year and just moved it to the TOP!! 9Fingers did the Pruhoe Bay run 2 years ago on a KLR650 and has never stop talking about it.
Keep the info and pics coming and take good care of that BMW rider you are with.....
Final destination? We don't know for sure. Our iteniary was thrown out the window coming up to Spyderfest. We've been following the weather and trying to keep out of the storms. Our goal is Alaska and beyond that, everything is good.
I remember talking to y'all at Lamont's BBQ. Thanks for all the information about the roads in Alaska!
Very much taking care of my BMW rider. On the slick / wet twisties I put him in the lead. That way, if he biffs it, I try not to run over him first.

Electric underwear, really?
Mr. Bill was a present from Son. Thought he would give us good luck but the road knows better. Everything has it's place in the universe, and Mr. Bill wants to be in Montana.
Yeah, as far as Alaskan construction goes, glad we got a taste of things to come.
I call it electric underwear. Its heated riding gear. There are so many different makers of the stuff, wanted to make it a generic name. Electric underwear.

Jeff is the navigator. Couldn't have done the trip without him. Did I tell you I get lost easy?

I am enjoying your trip report. I noticed you are pulling an America's Best Trailer. I've been considering one. How do you like it so far?
Thanks

The trailer is pulling great! Didn't even feel it in the cross winds. The only time I can tell its back there is when stopped on a hill and starting to go forward. It takes some torque to get things rolling up hill.
One reason we chose this trailer is because of its high clearance. Came in handy going through the construction zone.

Thanks for the input. Not too many mountains around here.
I am really enjoying your trip report and pictures. You are going through some really beautiful country. I used to travel up in that area when we lived in Colorado. I would love to be doing what you are doing.

Glad I could help. Not too many mountains around Houston either. This is a learn as you go sort of thing.
You're lucky to have lived and traveled in such a beautiful place. We tell the locals that they are so blessed to live in such a nice place, and they agree.
Don't count yourself out of the traveling picture. You never know whats down the road.

Looks like you will be in good training if you drive Hatcher's Pass--They had a little more snow last weekend than your pictures--but will be mostly gone by the time you get here.

I'm originally from SW Washington, it's looking like you're going to miss my area, but I've been on that section of I-90 and would love to take the spyder on it one day.
you're also somewhat stealing my roadtrip idea. haha from San Diego to Deadhorse, to Key West, to Jacksonville, and back to San Diego...knocking out 5 Ironbutt rydes in one trip.

This is amazing, what a great ride! I'm with Mr. Bill, sometimes I think my place in this world is in Montana, too. If I ever run across him I'll snap a picture for you and say hello!

Don't know if we're doing Hatcher's Pass. Hubby is the navigator and he's off visiting family right now. We will be staying in Palmer for a bit though.
We timed the trip to be in Alaska after the snow and before the rain. Hope things have thawed out by the time we get up there.

I-90 going over the mountain was awesome! Its way different on a Spyder than a car.
Didn't mean to steal your thunder. It will be a neat to ryde from the northern most point of the states to the most southern point.
As for Ironbutts, lost mine years ago. Ryde safe and post pictures.

Glad you like the trip. Montana is a great place!
It would be wonderful to find out what Mr. Bill is up to. Maybe he's a flag man on the construction site?

Wow! What an adventure Yazz!! Don't know how I missed this thread but I'm having a blast catching up. I'm going to subscribe so I can follow your daily escapades.
