Me and 2 buddies heading to Hyder Alaska June 14-30.
2700 miles one way. Going to do about 600 mile days on the way there.
We will dead head to Hyder and camp along the way.
We want to see the Bear and Salmon glaciers. Also hope to see some bears eating fish and not us.
On the return we expect to do about 300 mile days. I know in the mountains 300 is a long day.

I will open this up to a couple of TWTers who may want to tag along for any part of the trip, let me know. You have to agree to 3 rules:
Rule #1 if someone crashes or breaks down...we will make sure you get to a safe place or medical facility and secure the bike. Then the rest of the crew will continue trip. Exception is the flat tire which we will fix.
If anyone gets attacked by a bear, the survivors will take your blood and smear it on our face and arms. We will tell your family we fought the bear the best we could Also, if you can run faster than me, you are not invited!
Rule #2 each rider rides their own ride. No one gets left behind. However we can mutually agree to meet up at end of day at camp.
Rule #3 Be a fun motorcycle riding person
