There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Would you like to plan a trip to Alaska?

Lot's of good ride reports on trip to Alaska(and elsewhere) on http://www.advrider.com/. I read one of the funniest and informative reports I've seen, on here. It's got a rather profane name and some here may be offended. PM me if you would like to read and laugh. Lots of great pictures as well.

going to Alaska
Hi I,m new at this I,m the one interested in a trip to Alaska i,d like to get in touch with:clap: the mich. couple that made the trip. My thought is to take six to eight weeks to make the trip. I plan on rideing three to four hundred miles per day but stoping along the way to see the sights. the biggest part of any trip is the company you keep. :2thumbs:

Those guys from Michigan who went to Alaska this summer are brothers. I don't think either one are members (or at least aren't active) on this forum. Duane owns the Dairy Queen Grill - Chill in Sandusky, Michigan and you could probably get in touch with him by calling there. I don't know how to contact Lowell.

If your ambition is simply to plant your Spyder's wheels on Alaskan soil, you don't need to take a ferry or face bad roads. After heading west from Prince George on Highway 16, turn right on highway 37 (just past Hazelton), then turn left on Highway 37A and proceed to Stewart BC. Just a short bit down the road is a border crossing into Alaska and the border town of Hyder AK. The road turns around there and re-enters Canada, so you dont see too much of Alaska. If you stop at the Last Chance Saloon in Hyder, dont let them "Hyderize" you! They get you to drink that Alaska Snakebite, Everclear. The stuff may be clear going down but, trust me, it ain't clear coming up!
alaska trip
No I don't just want to put my wheels in alaska iwant to see alaska. i plan on takeing the ferry back so i can stop at the places where their are no roads. Yes it is a trip for the retired. but theres no better time to do what you want to do than now. Unless you can see into the future, which i cannot.

Actually, BMW, I was answering jrl with the "3 wheels in Alaska" idea, as that was what he said he wished to do. I have travelled many miles on the Alaska Highway and visited many Alaskan coastal towns in my days as a towboat engineer. It is a wild and beautiful country, but I wont be taking my Spyder there. I think I would want a dual adventure bike or maybe a Ural Patrol with a sidecar and 2 wheel drive. If you decide to attempt it with a Spyder, the best of luck to you! It's bound to be a classic adventure.

Maybe that is an option for returning home. plan on takeing ferry back to seattle. could go south thru cal. and pick up rt. 66 back. Have to think about that.
love that :spyder2:

I ran across this line of threads while perusing the site. Check out the Alaska page for more current information. A lot of the stuff in this thread was very prevelent in the 50's and 60's but is not that way now. Alcan Highway is all paved--but you MAY run into road construction and hit gravel. When we drove the Alcan in 2001, we had no more than 10 miles of gravel for the whole 3500 plus miles from Minnesota. All the main highways in Alaska are paved, and that will get you from city to city. The unpaved roads are mostly for remote destinations and are optional. I have lived in Alaska since 2001 and have put over 30K Spyder miles on Alaska roads in the last 2 years. Am eager to answer any question you have about Ryding in Alaska.

Alaska trip 2008
I rode my Spyder from Iowa to Alaska in 2008 for 4 weeks. 6 to 8 weeks would be a nice pace. Most of the roads are paved and the Spyder did fine. I rode the haul road to the Artic Circle which is gravel and the traction control system got a workout in the slippery mud. Most areas the gas stations are close enough for the Spyder without carrying auxilary fuel, but I had two places in a row that the gas stations where closed, so spare gas is advised.
