Just came across your channel & Alaska series. Great content & info and what a surprise to see Jim Trachta at 4:14!!! Planning a ride/trip for next summer, great breakdown, thanks for sharing!!!
Great breakdown and very helpful, thanks. I look forward to the rest of your videos about the ride. This trip has been on my radar for a while. I just need to work on my timing.
Thanks for providing some valuable info and bringing back some fond memories. I lived in Fairbanks 2 years and Anchorage for 3, seems like yesterday but a while back for sure.
A trip like this is on my bucket list! A couple years ago my wife, myself and some other friends went to Fairbanks for a half-marathon, hot springs and northern lights and we ate at Salty's on 2nd. Good spot! There's practically nothing in Coldfoot, so I was interested in seeing how you were going to explain the sleeping arrangements there. LOL Awesome info on the trip, really appreciate the insight, Mario!
I've been thinking about an Alaska trip on my 1290. This confirmed the crazy expensive hotel prices I was expecting. I think I would rather drive and sleep in my overland vehicle to avoid paying hotels. Sure it would use more gas but hotel savings would be greater. Glad you had a good time.
Outside of Coldfoot and Prudhoe Bay there are definitely less expensive options than where I stayed. Also if u take a friend it cuts your bill in half. 😂
Really appreciate the cost breakdown. I only have one bucket list cycle trip, and this is it. I am looking forward to following along. Also, I watched your first trip.. Time goes by too fast! I'm curious if you'd run the same tires again?
Thanks for the info. Hope to take advantage one day. Totally understand trailering out west. I vowed to never ride across Kansas (fill in any plains state here) again.
Thanks for the video and fantastic resources! And absolutely no shame in trailering to a destination. Ohio to Nebraska sucks the wind out of my sails before I can even reach the Rockies to get some good riding in. Ever thought of, or have experience with, shipping bikes?
Thinking of doing this next year. Do you have gps file that starts from Seattle? Which month would be more ideal (July or August to start from Seattle?)
Crazy expensive hotel stays. Did a trip to northern sweden, norway and finland this summer. A few nights wild camping for free. Cabins 50-80 USD One night in a hotel cost 140 USD. All costs split in two = half the cost per person. Dirt cheap compared to your cost.

John, wish you the best on your own trip. Hope you enjoy the video series and feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
NICE SHARE VIDEO

Thanks man!
Great breakdown. If anyone has a bike and time off from work, with some planning, you can definitely take this adventure.
Thanks for the breakdown. It is crazy how hotel costs have sky rocketed!
Some stayed cheap but yes…things have gone up
Great info, will be very helpful for those planning a similar trip. Gotta love those Marriott points !

I touch on how they wore in the bike debrief video I posted today, but yea I'd run those tires again.

Thanks Jeff!
You were just a few miles from us here at All Moto Tire just south of Kalispell.
My buddy lives in Whitefish (well, technically Olney) so I’ll be back out. We may do some snow machines in the winter.
"I guess my tastes have changed since then" Haha. Age does that to you.
Places I stay now (for the most part) are definitely a lot nicer than the places I used to stay.

Don’t remember what my costs were in Europe in 2019. Have them somewhere. Never been concerned with the cost; just the experience.
I guess I'll stick to day rides going forward....
On what bikes man ?
