great pictures Jim - keep 'em coming.!!
Your right Bob. Well I've made it to Fairbanks and got a room at the UAF campus. I've seen a blue ST with Utah plates on it. Anyone's here??justbob said:Fast Eddys is a must do for anyone passing thru.
Allow me to disagree. I think anyone that makes it to the Artic Circle will be cheating their self out of a big reward by not going on to Deadhorse. If you're going to ride 10K miles, make sure to see the end of the road.True Grip said:That's far enough. I know several people who went to Prudhoe who wouldn't go back. Great pictures!
I agree with you OldRider I did it back in 2012 and I would do it again .OldRider said:Allow me to disagree.

My biggest piece of advice about the Haul Road is to watch for a change in the color of the road. They will go out and rip up a long section of road and it will be a darker color where they worked on it.
Riders have rode everything on the Haul Road from bicycles to mopeds to Goldwings. Just show the road the respect it deserves and you'll have a great time.
I've ridden to Prudhoe and also wouldn't go back, but that's only because there are so many roads and so little time. My advice to anyone that rides as far as the arctic circle is do yourself a favour and ride the rest of the way to Prudhoe. You will not regret it.True Grip said:That's far enough.

I always ask them if they saw Ice Road Truckers and most have. Then they know what the Haul Road is.eemsreno said:I would defiantly go all the way back to Deadhorse again .
One thing I have noticed a lot is when I tell folks that we rode all the way to Deadhorse or Prudhoe Bay, they don’t know what I am saying, But if I tell them we rode 500 miles north of Fairbanks and waded in the Arctic Ocean then they are impressed
I'm not going alone, group of two for most of the trip, but we meet a friend from the west coast in Dawson Creek. We are not planning on going through Hyder, it's a whirlwind tour. Almost 8k miles in 14 riding days, one rest day. I'll be on a blue ST with a Wee Strom and a blue FJR, holla if you see us.eemsreno said:Have a great trip Plug
Are you going alone?
Are you going through Hyder?
I might see you there.
