    I'm lucky in that I live very close to Hwy 1 just north of San Francisco. While Hwy 1 along Big Sur has more majestic views, in terms of motorcycle roads, Hwy 1 north of San Francisco is an awesome road on a bike.

      Thanks! Start the planning! If I am home when you come through Tok, AK I likely would have a spot you can crash for the night.

    Love your videos man! Such great cinematography. I just picked up a ‘24 KLR S two weeks ago and currently looking into exploring as you have.

    Silas, this is a great video! I bummed into you both in Cambria, CA (on my Tiger RP) and chatted a bit. Great to see the trip was a success, and stoked that your video popped up in my feed. Safe travels!

    Awesome! And all on a KLR650! And everyone says you have to have a 900# “touring” bike for that sort of trip. I have a ‘23 KLR and it has to be the most “bang for your buck” bike you can buy.

    • @ak.klr650

      The KLR has suited me well for 34000 miles so far! Such a great bike! 😊
