12 Tips for Riding a Motorcycle to Alaska (including riding to Deadhorse) 🏍 Alaska Trip Episode 69

[@markthorson598]

Alaska on a motorcycle has been on my radar for a long time. I am shooting for 2024. I must say, I have watched dozens of very good , informative videos but after watching your presentation I see that I have some more preparation to make it what I want to be. Thanks for sharing .

[@2UpAndOverloaded]

We are glad that you found some of the information to be useful! We know you are going to love your trip! It was such an epic adventure! Have fun and enjoy the ride!

[@advridertim]

Thanks for taking the time to create this video............I Flew into anchorage 2007, rented a KLR 650 for 10 days, (50th birthday present from my wife and daughters).......... Rode most of what you did except Deadhorse, the rental co. had a $300 surcharge if I went there apparently 50% of all their rental bikes had to be hauled back............. went down to Whitehorse and to Dawson, Top of the World hwy.............. When I rode thru the tunnel to Whittier there were no lights in the tunnel it was really sketchy on a KLR with a one candle power headlight, I took the slow ferry over to Valdez........ I rode 3500 miles while there, camped most nights, never saw a bear or any skeeters (July), slept most nights with a black T-shirt wrapped around my head, biggest joke in Alaska is "hang your food in a tree"........ TIP for anyone going buy your food in grocery stores they all have hot food/coffee bars and places to sit, cabins and hostels are way cheaper than motels...

[@2UpAndOverloaded]

Wow what a great adventure you had! And that's crazy about the 50% of bikes had to be hauled back... I can see why though. Plus that's pretty good advice about getting food because it's slim pickings up there! Thank you for your awesome comment!

[@IRLtrolls]

Wow, y’all are tough as nails! I know that lack of sleep and long distance riding was a test of endurance and will power. What a great video. You two deserve much more views and followers. One thing that’s always blown me away about Alaskan motorcycle Travel is the book “Ghost rider” by drummer Neil Peart from the band Rush. He rode all these Canadian and Alaskan roads in the mid 90s on a BMW GS 1100. I can’t imagine how remote sparsely populated it was back then.

[@2UpAndOverloaded]

Thank you so much for the kind words and support! That means the world to us! A few other people have mentioned Neil Peart’s book as well. I’ll have to check that out one day! Thanks for the good vibes 😎

[@driftlessbiker]

The mosquitos are no joke! One thing that was our saving grace camping on our trip to Deadhorse in July ‘22 was a Thermocell Backpacker. It runs on the same fuel canister as my camp stove and has little cards with repellent on them. Typically within 15 minutes of turning on we could ditch our mosquito nets. I enjoyed following your trip as well. I am nearing the end of posting the videos from mine.

[@2UpAndOverloaded]

Subscribed! Your channel floods back awesome memories from a different perspective. Thanks for the heads up on the Thermocell Backpacker. The next time we make our way into the backwoods in the middle of nowhere, I will be sure to have that on hand!

[@pnwflyfisher7699]

Old video but I second and swear by the Thermacell Backpacker for camp site and also a handheld appliance for bathroom breaks.

[@Dogatemyhomework927]

The first 3 words a kid learns up there. Mommy, Daddy, Deet… Thank you for sharing this awesome route!! 😊👍🏽💯

[@2UpAndOverloaded]

lol... that's hilarious! Thanks for the laugh and for riding along with us!

[@jameslee5428]

I have now watched this video at least three times. The best part of the entire video is watching you both interact, and the laughter is nothing but sincerity of good times. Thanks again guys be safe out there in all that you do.

[@2UpAndOverloaded]

Wow, thank you! That means the absolute world to us! We are so grateful to have you along for the ride!

[@jameslee5428]

Super Duper cool sitting on my porch in Southern California looking at my KTM 890 adventure, ready to rock ‘n’ roll PS still watching your video.

[@jameslee5428]

Are you two still on a KTM??🤔

[@northerniltree]

Great video on Alaska that doesn't gloss over the reality of motorcycle travel. It helps to be mentally prepared as well as all the other preparations required. All that cold rain and mud for days on end and to end up in a place like Deadhorse is something you really have to mentally accept before your trip begins. But, it is Alaska, the Final Frontier, and a place worth experiencing! Thanks to both of you for giving me a valuable insight into making this epic 2-wheeled trip.

[@2UpAndOverloaded]

Thank you for tuning in and for the great feedback! It was an epic trip for sure, but there are definitely some mental hurdles to overcome! Thanks again for the support!

[@Dale-d5h]

One of the best Alaska videos I have watched!! Full of great info and beautiful scenery. Thank you for putting this on us tube!!!

[@bandknanacortes1858]

Another great video. You Both add a great vibe to your vlog. I rode up the Alcan and back on the Cassiar doing the Top of the World Highway on the return. I planned on camping at the Arctic Circle but it was closed for a large fire and so I turned south to my grandchildren’s home in Anchorage on June 21st. Your tips on pacing, mosquitoes, rain gear, and daylight are all really spot on. I used a neck buff doubled over as an eye blackout shade. I also had a Thremocell mosquito repellent device and mosquito head net. And pacing, I planned on no more than 350 miles a day and only had one day over 400 but that still took about 11hours. Rain gear is a must, buy it. Enjoy the journey , it may not be inexpensive, but when you’re 85 years old you’ll be able to look at each other and say remember when we did …..and you would be saying I wish we’d have done …… I’m looking forward to other videos - unless I missed them, on your gear reviews (my wife wants to get a new helmet for her new ride) and I’d be interested in hearing how the new KTM did on this trip - maintenance, tires, mpg, and so on. Your KTM experiences seems to run counter to several friends who tell me they didn’t do as well as you have. I’ll be staying with my 18 year old 650 VStrom for a bit longer. Best of luck in Indonesia. Godspeed Brian

[@2UpAndOverloaded]

Thank you so much for all of the positive feedback and support! We really appreciate it! We will definitely be doing a KTM comparison video soon!

[@rickgoforth8308]

I have used your journey for a ton of planning. Added several side trips from your videos. I enter Canada on Aug 8th for my accent Deadhorse. After Deadhorse, I'll tour all of Alaska, including down to Homer. I've also used your advice. I was able to book a ferry to Skagway. So, I'll get the best of both roads. I've included Hatcher Pass, and McCarthy both. I depart Canada back into the states on 1 September. The last add was Roosevelt NP. Have a safe trip on your next adventure.

[@2UpAndOverloaded]

Thank you so much for tuning in and we are so glad to hear that you found some useful ideas! You will love every mile, and Roosevelt NP makes for a fantastic grand finale! Thanks again for the kind words and support! Enjoy the ride, and please do stay in touch!

Bring warm clothes and good rain gear. That is late in the season.

Glad you enjoyed it! That is absolutely awesome to hear! Thanks for the great feedback!

[@troypatterson5862]

Still waiting on my turn for the Alaska/Canada trip. Thanks for the heads up and warnings. I've followed your entire Alaska journey and am now backtracking the lower 48 trek and further south. Have almost finished "Maiden Voyage". I know y'all caught the mosquito and rainy season, I wonder how the early season would fare. Deadhorse looked to be dismal on many levels, I think I'll head to Tuktoyaktuk to enjoy the journey and the destination. Good luck and safe travels.

[@2UpAndOverloaded]

Thanks Troy! The road to Tuktoyaktuk sounds pretty awesome as well, and you can actually ride the motorcycle all the way to the Arctic Ocean! Thanks again for tuning in!

[@AstheMagpieFlies]

Thank you for this you guys

I went to Alaska this past July on a Honda Goldwing. I didn’t make it to the Arctic Circle because it rained horribly on my travel day. However, I did get to Fairbanks, Anchorage, Seward and Juno. Wonderful trip.

[@2UpAndOverloaded]

It is a beautiful part of the world to explore on two wheels!

[@2UpAndOverloaded]

It is such an incredible experience! Absolutely stunning the whole way through!

[@viajarMOTO]

Great info! That’s A LOT of Skeeters! The maps help so much. Thanks for sharing the great spots. Tim’s movie references are so fun. Chantil and I laughed out loud when you mentioned the ride vs destination of reaching Deadhorse. Love from Greece!

[@JagLite]

Fantastic review of Alaska from your view and experience. I always love your choice of music and the epic music is perfect for Alaska. My favorite was the music for the road to Skagway. Rain gear has to be top of the list for sure and mossy protection is so important to enjoy the trip. Some people think they need a dual sport or adv bike while the reality is once out of town it is all highway, and hours of highway between points. A good long haul, comfortable highway bike is the best. Any bike can and has done the trip. I'm reading about your visit to Tikal currently and I laughed reading about camping near the forest with Howler monkeys. They are so loud and scary sounding I can't imagine getting any sleep in your tent! I also laughed when I read about your friend's problem with the mechanic not having his bike ready when promised. "Manyana" is a misunderstood word, most people think it means "tomorrow" but it actually means "Not today". That's the Gringo translation. 😉

[@2UpAndOverloaded]

Thank you so much for your awesome comment and perspective, once again! Yes, I love your mañana translation, and you are absolutely right about the long straight highway miles in and around Alaska. A comfortable highway motorcycle is best, though it's true that anything and everything has made it. And for us anyway, outside of the Dalton, it was hard to find dirt. All just pavement up there. Thanks once again for sharing!

[@johnmacdonald1878]

I am Canadian I try and avoid Tim Hortons. It is open in the middle of the night. Any where to get warm is good enough after a couple of hundred miles in the rain. Who doesn’t go to Deadhorse me, I didn’t have time, after I went to Tuk. I did see Caribou in Denali but I didn’t get to see a Musk Ox. I skipped most of the cool parts of Southern Alaska. The biggest problem was not having planned where to stay ahead of time. I often could not find anywhere to stay and slept by the road side. You get tired enough you can sleep. The 24 hr daylight is weird but kind of liked it. Bugs just ignore them. Still the most amazing ride I have ever done. Now I just have to go back and see the places I missed the first time. The ride to Sgagway must be one of the best on the Continent.

[@nicdiramio6005]

Heading to Alaska in late June of 2024. Actually have a great friend who lives near Homer. Your video wll be our bible for our adventure. will watch it several times before we leave. we will be leaving from Fla. and N.C.

It's on my bucket list. Maybe next summer. I suggest the Kenai peninsula over Dead horse. Much more scenic, Valdez,Seward,Whittier,Homer, Anchorage. I used to live in Ak. There's not much north of Fairbanks. Brooks range and the Artic circle sign.Thats about it. Much prettier in South Central Ak.

[@2UpAndOverloaded]

Every region had some pretty amazing views, but the southern coast sure did have one stunning view after another! Lifelong memories!

[@JoaquinChea]

I was surprised by the huge mosquito issues, I thought with the extreme cold winters that mosquito larva wouldn’t survive. I have to agree with you about Tim Horton’s, I was in Victoria BC last week and tried their stuff it wasn’t good at all so I don’t get the draw. I’ve been pondering a solo trip to Alaska for a while now, the biggest challenge is the expense I’m hoping to reduce it by tent camping off my bike as much as possible to make it happen. Thanks for the great tips!

[@2UpAndOverloaded]

Thanks for tuning in!! Camping is a must! Not only will you save a thousand bucks, there are so many surreal locations to set up a tent and enjoy the views for days! You will love every mile. We hope that you are able to make the trip as it was one of the best rides that we have ever taken. Thanks again for the support!

Yes! Signs, signs, everywhere a sign. It seems to me that the only mistake that you made was that you didn't eat Nanaimo Bars while you were in Canada. Ok, running out of gas is a mistake but not as big a mistake as missing out on Nanaimo Bars! Next time you go to Midland, ON, you will have to stop here in the center of the universe, and Tiger Barb will make you the best Nanaimo Bars ever! Love you both. Tiger Coward

[@2UpAndOverloaded]

Wow. The way your are describing these Nanaimo Bars, I really do feel like we missed out on something amazing. What is it exactly? Or do I just have to eat one to find out?

[@tigercoward]

@2Up and Overloaded There are good Nanaimo Bars, and there are great Nanaimo bars. You will just have to try one and see. Hopefully, Tiger Barb's because they are the best. Here is what Wikipedia says: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanaimo_bar I am sorry that I didn't get the message to you sooner. I have failed you. Heehee. You know how the crash between the peanut butter truck and the chocolate truck created Reece's Peanut butter cups? I dream of driving a truck full of Nanaimo Bars into a Dairy Queen and creating the best Blizzard 😉 I also dream of riding my motorcycle to the Arctic Ocean. Oh, if dreams could come true! I will now stop my silliness and wish you all of the best on your travels. When you are back in the States, I will get you a Nanaimo Bar. Your faithful fan, TIGER COWARD

[@2UpAndOverloaded]

We rode up to Deadhorse on a 1190r and it was perfect!! We only had an extra gallon in our Rotopax, and only needed it on our way back from Deadhorse to Coldfoot... but we ran out of gas 5 miles from Coldfoot! So definitely bring two extra gallons, but you won't have to fill them until your return trip from Deadhorse. Thanks for riding along with us and we know that you will absolutely love the ride!
