Alaska and the Dalton Highway

[DGoebel]

Ah jeeze, the road to the Arctic Circle is nicely paved with a gas station between Fairbanks and the Arctic Circle monument. You can make it there and back in a day. Once you get past Cold Foot, the road gets rough.

Don't let those hairy-scarums deter you from your goal.

Been there, done that, got the shirt....

Thanks Yazz, and Ahh-cool, and others for sharing. I wanted to do an IBA trip that required your one bike to go to Deadhorse from Key West. Rethinking that, but will at least get to the AC for a pic on the Spyder.
Will have to consider the San Ysidro to Goose Bay, Labrador UCC paved route.

CMA/IBA_rider, Could you elaborate. Does this apply to just the Dalton or any dirt roads?

I do not know. The only dirt and gravel road I've run up there was the Dalton Highway. My guess all the dirt roads would be treated the same.

Alright, Alright, I give up. I got my new bike today and I can't get myself to destroy it on purpose.
I am definitely going even if I have to rent a car

I bought a 750 Nighthawk for $2,000. Put a windshield on it with all my electronics a fuel cell and did the ride. Key West Florida to Deadhorse Alaska and back home. Carrie the set of dual sport tires to go on it up in Alaska. Got home took my stuff off of it and 6 hours of detailing it. Sold the bike for $2,100.
