Valdez, ALASKA Adventure On My CAN-AM SPYDER

TommyG and I rode to Alaska this past summer from western Pennsylvania on our Harley Davidson Ultra Limited and Can-Am Spyder F3 Limited bikes. We set up base camp in North Pole, Alaska, and explored from there. In this video, we take the Richardson Highway, also known as Route 4 to explore the town of Valdez, Alaska. Thank you for joining us and stay tuned for more fun, Alaska adventures!

And don’t really have plans. This year my biggest ride was to get new tires. And I was surprised they said they had parts for a recall. I was like okay then go ahead and service my bike. The service manager came out to have a chat. He said the part that was in recall was broken. And I was lucky I didn’t hit a bump. I thought dang it. I was in country roads. And when I hit the freeway I was going 80 lol. It that part fell. It would of been bad. They said my back fender was damaged and they ordered another. And I’m getting a new rear shock and fender. And I went 300 miles to get some tires. I have no clue when this broke. But it was cause if recall so HD is paying for it. Lol

    When you first announced your trek to Alaska, I thought it was impossible on a Spyder (or a non adventure 2 wheeler). The roads are so bad (based on the many biker vlogs I follow). But you both did it! I look forward to learning more about your journey.

    @@PurpleOnThree well it was 1974 and my dad was working the pipeline. My dad decided he was tired of being away from the family and in 1975 flew down to GA and drove the 5 of us up to Alaska in a 1972 Pontiac Star Chief. It took 7 days to get there and was told at the time the Alcan Hwy was all gravel back then. We ended up staying until 1977 and flew back. Dad stayed until 1978. He gave the car to my Uncle and flew back as well.
