A tedious day of riding brings out the teenage boys in us, and Mike pulls a prank on a local gas station.

A long, boring day of riding causes me to reflect, and I learn a thing or two about myself.

Hyder, Alaska: one of the top spots for seeing bears. Things don’t go as expected, but we aren’t disappointed. Many highlights on this last jaunt into Alaska before the final road home.

The Cassier Highway is magical. Brilliant. Why people choose the Alcan over this less-traveled road I don’t know. One of my favorite days ever.

I start the day grumpy, and end the day grumpy. In the middle—more grumpy. Go ahead, you can laugh at my mishaps. It’s all here for your entertainment.

We clean mud off our bikes in Dawson City and prepare for the journey home. The day is a rough one, and we face several unexpected challenges.

Another one of the great Alaskan back-road adventures: the Top of the World Highway. The toughest road of the trip. Brutal.

We ride the often challenging, one-way dirt road through the wilderness to the ghost town at the Kennecott mines.

We ride the Denali Highway: one of the most famous off road adventures in Alaska. Rain, mud, and wind make it a challenge. And our day is not without mishaps…

Denali National Park. What more can I say? What more do you need. Denali National Park. Freakin’ Amazing.

A day living inside an episode of National Geographic Explorer. That’s the only way I can describe the wonders I encountered on our fjord tour.

The drive down the peninsula to Homer is spectacular. Breathtaking scenery and a narrow 2.5 mile tunnel through a mountain. Incredible.

Rain and a backwards motorcycle throttle make the day difficult and dangerous. And if The Motorcycle Shop doesn’t come through for us, it will get worse.

I struggle to face my situation. What do I do? How do I fix a problem when I don’t even know where to start?
