I'm halfway through a 1 month tour of BC, the Yukon , Alberta and Alaska . I weighed 1500 lbs. On the state scales leaving town and not any problems so far from the weight. Riding a 16 RGU.

In Anchorage now for a few days and the weather is upper 60s With 10% rain. We have run the gauntlet on what mother nature could throw at us.
Where you starting from?

If you need anything done on the bikes, do it in Anchorage.... Fairbanks HD is a multi Product shop and they will put lawnmowers ahead of Harley’s. Which way you coming back?

Good to hear they got him going...... I stayed in Tok both on my way in and out....that’s a great ride... the picture in my signature is on your route, it’s beside the Liard River above Muncho Lake, just as you get back in the Rocky Mountains..... enjoy.
