You shoul have taken a Kawasaki KLR650 up to Alaska. I have a 2010 Electra Glide and a 2008 Kawasaki KLR650 (a street legal dual sport bike with a 6 gallon gas tank with a 300 mile range) that I trail ride over in the Oscelo National forest in North Floida (where 75 crosses 10). I've ridden my Harley down sandy dirt roads a few times, in the mud it would be a nightmare. Next time your passing though Lake City, Fl. look me up and I'll let you ride my KLR around in the mud over in Osceola, you'll love it!

This is where it all starts ❤

Man I love your bike what year is it? I’m saving money to buy a good reliable Harley like yours. I love how it started right up in the middle of the desert when you were eating. I will have a new Harley by April or sooner mark my comment on hood ❤

How does this seat install? Did it come with a bracket?

Loved the video! WV Native here and actually live right on the Talon in Ansted, a few minutes from Hawks Nest. Glad you guys enjoyed our routes! They have been working on the roads a lot this year so should be much smoother riding next year. Stay safe!

Great series!!! I just binge watched the whole thing. You did a great job keeping your windshield clean for us viewers!! I can’t bring myself to ride my aultra up in that soup though!! Hahahahah!! That is what BMWs and KTMs are for!! 😂😂😂😂

Epic journey. Thanks for sharing!

I have a question about the dominator solo seat. Hopefully, you can shed some light on it. So i have the same bike as in your video, and when looking at the seat on the saddleman website it doesnt look like it has the tongue part on the front of the seat that would usually go in a hole in the frame just before the gas tank. So my question is, mainly, did the seat come with hardware to put it on the bike properly, or did you need to get an additional bracket to have the seat on the bike?

..been there..done that….!!! An adventure….a challenge…worth every second…!!! Congratulations for your endeavor..!!!

How did you carry extra gas and how much?

Looking at using the Saddleman Dominator for my limited obviously you like it.

Rode the Dalton in 2020. Awesome scenery! Like they say the Dalton is 400 miles of dirt road and 50 miles of sheer terror. But what an experience. Biggest lesson learned: no matter the road conditions, you need to keep your speed 30-40 mph. This is fast enough to keep the bike heading the right direction. Slower, and the front tire will want to slip and slide. Seems counterintuitive and takes a bit of huevos, but once you try it, it really makes it much easier.

Mackinac Bridge is pronounced Mackinaw here in MI

Time and schedule; these are your two most dangerous opponents. As a resident of alaska, it allows me to be more selective with my journeys. Good weather allows longer days (such as one day from Dawson City to Tuk), or short/down days (such as camping in the wilderness and going for a walk) So regardless of the moto you ride…Mother Nature is not brutal. She is just indifferent. Don’t pound a round peg into a square hole. Take your time.

Just discovered this channel searching for motorcycle travel ideas. I’ve got the exact same bike! Would love to chat about some of the mods… curious how you like the bars

Great ride! Those gravel sections can seem to come out of nowhere. Hit about 100 klicks of gravel in northern Mantoba a few years ago and a rock went through the belt and cut it about half way through. But she made it home.

Just watched your video nicely done. Just so you know, more than a 1/3rd of Jasper townsite was destroyed by wildfire a couple of weeks ago. So you got to see it just in time.

Bike prep up that highway, get some tires built for mud

I think you should shorten your laces

This looks like such a fun trip. I kind of want to follow your tracks. But you should have used a bike with longer range! Many bikes can do 300 on a tank!

Well what happened at the dealership?? What was causing the diminishing fuel efficiency?

I would not try to do this ride on a Harley. And I've been riding for over 40 years. The Dalton is best with a 4wd truck. You have my respect.

Very cool! When I saw the caption pop up that stated 2003 Road King Classic, I had to pause and back up to make sure I got that right. Besides my GoldWing, I also ride an old carbureted 2002 Electra Glide TC-88 with stage 2 and always wondered how she would do on the Dalton. I don't think I would attempt it on the FLHT, but I would definitely do it on an ADV bike to your point. Kudos to you for a successful trip.

I love milk

Are you in Charlotte NC. I'm just north in Mount Airy

You are pushing it! Dawson Creek b.c here.

You need to put better context. Video yourself just riding is very boring

I've watched your cross country Ca to Fla before, just watched it again and then found this trip, love your RK, I just recently got a 99. Looking to do a long trip also, do you still have the 5 speed or is it a 6 speed? Does the 5 speed hinder you in any way? Coming from a bike with a 6 speed.

Can’t believe it took me this long to find this series!! Beautiful anniversary road king! I have a 02 RK myself great bikes 💪💪

Outstanding series of vide, thank you so much, this has always been a dream of mine and watching this has really inspired me. Hopefully one day.

I can’t ride, yes I can, F it I’ll do it. 🙌🏻👍

Those metal grid bridges, when wet, can be pretty scary.

It seems like it can become a grind at times, but guessing you will carry the good moments with you forever. Not to mention the challenge you presented yourself with and example you set for your children.

I am planning on going from Los Angeles to Dead Horse August 2024. (One month from now). I am on a KLR 650 (2007- Gen 1). I've done round trip Route 66 on this bike, Mojave and Nevada BDR, all of PCH Hwy 1 and Hwy 101. How do you book the shuttle to the Ocean? How do you book rooms in Dead Horse and Cold Foot? I will be traveling with a tent as back up. Also traveling with a friend on an Africa Twin.

I would do it on my dirt bike but not on my Harley, no way!@!

Bike Prep: Not Much. New tires, hard bags, tour pack, gas container, change oil, dealer inspection, tighten bolts, hand protecters. Good thing you prepped for that road.

When I got to that intersection to make that right turn for Deadhorse ,, I saw two guys on adventure bikes coming from Deadhorse, they were COVERED in mud so bad you couldn’t tell what clothes they were wearing or what color their bikes were,,, I said NOPE !! My Ultra Limited wasn’t made for that and I knew I would be asking for trouble 😉👍🇺🇸

I did that trip in 2012 ,,, Fort Myers to Fairbanks 5000 miles on my Ultra Limited ,, trip of a lifetime,, hard on the bike though,, 😉👍🇺🇸

I noticed your wearing a black helmet, black jacket,, your cooking yourself in the Florida Sun ! In this Florida heat I wear BRIGHT/REFLECTIVE Colors ,, it reflects the hot sun and makes me more visible to these wonderful Florida drivers ,, I put on the dark colors in fall when I want the sun to help keep me warm 😉👍🇺🇸

Cool , I've done it four times on a Harley , first in 1979 , that was a trip for sure .. Hope to go at least once more in this lifetime .. ADV bike would be a plus ..

The room in Coldfoot @6:33 looks almost identical (the rooms all looked the same) to when I stayed there in 92 while driving hydro-axe on the Price road project. Made a lot of money there, bought my girlfriend a diamond ring, she married me, 30th anniversary this year.

I live in Yuma why didn’t you just stay on the 8 from mission beach to Yuma, there was no need to get off it

Excellent adventure and videos!!! Just watched the series and it was epic.

Hello. How much did you pay for bike shipping? Thank you!

Never go through Atlanta, go around on the loops, in west palm, pick up 70 west to 27/98 south, takes you down the center of the state, ( NO MIAMI BS) 27 to chrome 997 to over seas hwy to key west. ( on the northside of key largo, you have to try Bob's BUNs)

What type of books are you buying?

Great video I lived in AK and rode a lot The roads are not great 👍

Crome to 27 good choice if you take us 1 from 17st Ft Lauderdale north though west palm nice estates do it early

Kuddos to you! I rode up to Deadhorse about a month before you on a BMW GSA, don't think I would try it on a Harley Road King. We lucked out with the weather, no rain or mud.
