swingset Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 I'm really torn on Alaska as a destination. The views and scenery would be just incredible, but the roads don't appeal to me whatsoever. So, for now I just keep looking at trip pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is kinda cool as well but totally different and can only really be enjoyed on a bike like Ben's or dare I say some sort of Harley or Goldwing.

oldschoolsdime92 Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 i want to do it bad. I love touring, and seeing what I can see and who I can meet , and just being out there. Unfortuniley, Its going to be awhile before i can do a trip like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swingset Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) I think it's different than the "I want to ride some twisties" sort of ride. More touring on a bike. Which is kinda cool as well but totally different and can only really be enjoyed on a bike like Ben's or dare I say some sort of Harley or Goldwing.Trust me, I'm not a twisty-or-nothing kinda guy, I'm a dual sport rider first and foremost but I've talked a lot of riders who have done Alaska and it just doesn't sound like riding I'd enjoy. My ideal is something with a big mix of terrains and conditions, including technical terrain and Alaska is a marathon of the same conditions for days at a time.Not knocking it, like I said the views would be second to none I just can't get exited about it personally. For me, Baja or Copper Canyon is much more my speed, something like that. I have riding ADHD...need challenged or I get bored easy. I find the idea of an Iron-Butt to be a kind of hell, personally....I'd much rather go ride some trails or something.

DangBruhY Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 If I had a touring bike, I'd be all over this kind of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
