Wow!  That looks like quite a trip!  I'm looking forward to seeing more on your web site when it's updated.

Do you think you will upgrade the suspension on your bikes or leave them as original?  I understand this can be a bit of a weak area in rough conditions.  Also have you had any consideration for carrying some extra fuel?  It can be a long way between fill-ups in Alaska and the Yukon despite the fact there is an oil pipeline!

Keep us posted on your preparations.

Cheers.

comfy seat could be an idea......

Looks like a splendid trip and the music can only get better!

I am particularly jealous.

Web site could do with a big "shut the f**k up!" button.

That certainly looks the adventure of a lifetime, best of luck & take shed loads of pictures

Glad you like the music... there is a pause button at the bottom of each page
upgrading the suspention would be nice but we can't afford it unfortunatley.
we did think of getting better seats but we did a 8 day trip in europe this year covering quite a few miles and after a few days we were happy enough with the seats, plus we can't afford new ones.
We plan on getting some collapsable fuel containers, apparently the road to prudhoe from fairbanks is about the furthest without fuel. 250miles ish. just a bit further than the strom range.
