I am really happy and honored to hear that...maybe a slight feeling of guilt too! 😁 I also know you are about to experience some fun times. Many, many thanks for watching and for the great comment.. I really appreciate that. Ride safe and careful.

It was, but it was still so much fun. Thanks so much Jim.

You are very welcome. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch!

Chris, I really appreciate the kind comment. I also really appreciate you taking the time to watch.

Thanks Erik. Yup, it was a kick in the pants. I really appreciate you watching. As far as the wind...in your mind you can't do it...but YOU... really can do it! No need to go 65 or 70, but even 50 - 55... you have the skills to do it.

I really am pleased you enjoyed it. Makes want to keep doing more. I do have lots of stories to tell. I'd better get some new friends...my current friends are getting tired of hearing about them! 😁

Thanks Greg. Hopefully the next ones are not too far down the road. Always appreciate hearing from you.

I'm really happy you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for watching. The AT is a heck of a great bike!

@@TilTheRoadEnds I hope to travel(ride) there when retirement allows but would prefer a 2nd traveller.

Thank you very much. I'm enjoying your videos too!

Robert, Thant's fantastic. As you can see in my videos, even if things don't go as planned, it's still fun. Good luck and thanks so much for watching.

AT, Thank you very, very much. It was still lots of fun. As usual, I really do, honestly appreciate you setting aside time to watch my videos.

When was this trip?

@@user-ln7oc9kf4c We left Denver on last June on the 1st.

Arthur, you are so welcome. I loved having you ride along with us. That's why I do these videos. I greatly appreciate you watching.

Henry, thanks so much. It's definitely worth all the miles getting up there. It's much better in person than in the videos.

I've been curious to get someone's opinion on the Campbell highway. I was very curious to hear what we missed out on. Interesting to find out there was even more destruction behind us as we made our way back home! Congrats on doing all of that on a Harley too. I have a couple of friends who rode the Dalton up to the Circle on Harleys and said they'd never do that again. It beat their bikes to hell. Thanks for the information and taking the time to watch and comment.

@@TilTheRoadEnds The Campbell was easy the day I did it. Sunny and dry and the gravel was mostly well packed. So I long as I stayed in a car wheel track I was fine. Probably averaged 80-90 kph. It's 370 km between Ross River and Watson so extra fuel was needed (at least for me.) I think I saw 6 or 8 vehicles in that whole stretch. The portion of the Dalton to the Arctic Circle was no problem -- just had to slow down for some rough stuff but there wasn't a lot. I also did the Denali Highway on that trip and some parts in the middle were gnarly rough. That was the worst of any of the gravel I did that trip.

Hey Pedro, Thanks again for the comment and watching the series. I really do appreciate it.

I've been to Toronto several times (great city and huge) and I've been to Dawson City twice....what a contrast! I think you're going to have a great trip. Watch out for the frost heaves between Whitehorse and Dawson City. Good luck and have fun. Thanks so much for watching.

I can't put into words how much I appreciate the extremely kind comment. Thank you so very, very much. On the waterproofing, I did all of that for my next trip. Never got a chance to prove how well it worked though. Explanation to come. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Rick, you're gonna have a great time. Excited to hear you're going to do this trip. You'll enjoy the drone if you do it. But definitely get the practice in. They are quirky little devices. And keep it under 250 grams. Anything beyond that requires a Canadian certification. I have my Part 107 Commercial UAV license and even that is not considered valid in Canada. So, I had to bring my smaller drone on this trip to bypass the Canadian certification. The Mavic Mini doesn't have all of the features my Mavic Pro has, so I was a bit limited in what I could do. When you come back through Denver, what dates are you thinking? I would really enjoy connecting when you come back through. I will be going up the Dempster and the Dalton and I'll be gone for most of July. So, if the dates come together, let's hook up. As always, thank you for being so loyal and taking the time to watch.

Thanks BB. Yeah, I got a great deal on my drone. Practically stole it from the guy I bought it from.

@@TilTheRoadEnds sounds like you swindled him and should return it.

Thank you Will. I guess Southern Alberta kept up her June reputation. She slapped the snot out of us.

😆 You experienced Alberta June Monsoon 😩

ADVRX, Thank you very much. I'm assuming you're torn between The Dempster or The Dalton. I have been too. Thanks for the invite. I will consider it if I'm ever in the area. I really appreciate you watching.

Thanks so much Jeff. Great to hear from you and appreciate you watching the vids. I think Kev is done with this trek. I'm probably due to come out your direction sometime in the future.

@@TilTheRoadEnds look forward to this. Keep us posted.

Thank you very much. I hope you have a great time. The Heidenau K60's held up well on the V Strom. They probably had about 1000 miles on them before we started the trip. They've still got some miles to go before it's time to change them. The Motoz Tractionator GPS on the Africa Twin were brand new when we left and I'd say they're about 50% tread left on them (just a guess). Mileage on the whole trip was 5928 miles. Thanks for watching.

Hi Arvind. Great questions. I think you'll find that you will meet a lot of people along your way to both the Dempster and the Dalton. You won't feel alone. I rode from Denver to the Dalton solo and met many people along the way. I would say you'll have a good chance of finding someone you can tag along with on both roads. And even if you don't, there are plenty of fellow riders going back and forth that would be happy to assist you should anything happen. That's what us Adventure Motorcyclists do. Always willing to help out. You should also find camping along both routes. But keep in mind, camping is not allowed in Prudhoe Bay / Deadhorse. You'll have to get a room up there. I would highly recommend going to the Mile Post web site or purchasing their book. It will provide you with endless amounts of information about the Dempster and the Dalton. You might even take a peak at my video series - Alaska - How I Did It This Time and How I'll Do It Next Time. It might help you out a little bit. Thanks so much for watching and thanks for the comment.

Hi Jim, thanks for watching and thanks for the comment. We rode a total of about 6000 miles, from the Denver area to Dawson City and back. The Africa Twin had a brand-new set of Motoz Tracionator GPS tires (with the rear mounted in the 50/50 direction) and I would guess they may still have 5000 miles left on them?? The V Strom had a set of Heidenau K60's with about 2000 miles on them when we left. When we got back, the rear tire was just about finished. I'm going to put a set of the Motoz on the V next time. I was pretty impressed with them. So, no tire changes were necessary. Luckily no flats either. But I always carry a plug kit and small air compressor with me. I also have a bottle of Slime, but I've never had to use it, so I don't know if the stuff is any good or not. Maybe we'll run into each other, I might be going back up in July myself! You're going to love it your trip. Thanks again for taking time out of your day to watch. .

Hi Jeff, I think the Peel River ferry finally opened up on June 16th. The day we got back home in Denver. Leaving on June 10th from Kentucky should put you in a good position for the ferries being open by the time you get there. Thanks for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it. Good luck on your trip. I'll be behind you a few weeks later.

@@TilTheRoadEndsgreat info! I’m doing my trip leaving the Arizona Mexico border on the AZ BDR on May 15. Will be working my way up using the BDRs as my primary route until I reach the Kanadian border. I’m hopping I can reach TUK on June 1st. For my birthday. Wish me luck, I’m banking on the recent hotter than usual summer to have opened access to the ferries early.

Thank you Sean. 15 miles!!! Wow. I thinks ours was maybe 4 or 5 miles and I seriously considered pulling over and taking a 30 minute break because my arms were so tired. But, you're not allowed to pull over for a rest stop...I guess. I had Heidenau K60's on the V, which I'm happy with and the Africa Twin has Motoz Tractionator GPS, which I was really impressed with. You have a keen eye Sean. My rain gear is Olympia and I've had it since 2014. Where I made my mistake is, I did no maintenance on the gear. I just pulled it out of the closet and rolled it up and stuffed it in the side case. HUGE mistake and I'll never do that again. I did re-spray the jacket before I left, but it wasn't clean and the repellent didn't stick. Lesson learned and I paid the price. That'll be in a future video. I have no issue admitting my foolish mistakes. Kevin wants me to throw it in the trash because he had to listen to me gripe about it for nearly 500 miles, but I think I can revive he gear. I honestly don't know what Kevins gears is. Sorry. Thanks so much for taking he time to watch Sean.

Sean, I just got off the phone with Kevin. He says his rain gear is BMW gear. He loves it. Says it works great.

@@TilTheRoadEnds Thank you Terry. I will put that on the list to consider!

Hi Angelo, We arrived in Dawson City on June 8th. Thanks so much for watching.

@@TilTheRoadEnds We went end of August and heard multiple times " a little late in the season, eh". kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nqtlgrOhttDMkWw.html

@@ferraro999 How was the weather and the road conditions then?

@@TilTheRoadEnds Canadians do an excellent job maintaining the road. They are quick to run a blade over and smooth out pot holes but does leave the gravel looser but manageable. We are generally street riders on BMW GS's and Honda Africa Twin with Motoz and Dunlop 50/50 tires. Weather ranged from 50 degree F and severe clear to 34 and 1/4 mile viz with horizontal rain. BTW, 2 neighbors of mine are planning that trip from Spokane in summer of 2024 on GSA's.

Hello again Mike. I hope you stick around and watch more videos. To answer your question, yes, I have encountered some mosquito issues on occasion in certain areas. The one that stands out in my mind the most was Yukon River Camp on the Dalton Highway. I did prepare for the flying critters. I brought a mosquito net to put over my head and I brought some mosquito repellant wipes, but it was never really so bad that I had to use either. Thanks so much again for watching.
