"And this one is just right" ~ Goldilocks
In the process of divorce, kids grown, parents getting older. I'm thinking the Alaska Highway this summer IF the Canadian border is open by then and other aspects of life don't get in the way. Has anyone here, or should I say, who here has done it before?
I've done many long-distance rides and lots of shorter outings. When I first got back into riding I loaded up a 2007 Bonneville with camping gear in NC and rode solo to the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia, back through New Brunswick to Quebec and then returned home. Only three nights in a motel and almost every bit on back roads. I'm always up for a good adventure.
So, I want to take the Rocket the entire way, but I don't want to trash it in the process riding above Canada. I'm wondering if it would be a bad idea to take the Roadster the entire way- I see photos of lots of cruisers on the route. Or, plan B would be to Ride up to Montana or Washington, park the Rocket, buy a used dual sport to complete the ride, return and sell the dual sport, and then make it back home on the Rocket. It all depends on the real deal with road conditions up there- it's hard to separate fact from exaggeration.
I'm starting to plan.....
