I just looked at the MAP...does he realize it is 4300 miles from OC, OK to Prudhoe Bay, AK? lol
He's doing in one ride what most riders around here do in 3 seasons

It took me a year and a half to put 4500 miles on the ZX6r, granted they are cayon/track only miles.

It is fuck'n flat! that's for sure... but like Cutty said... at least it's not winter (I drove through there in Feb on the way to MS... -30... fun stuff..

you'll hit some nice country tomorrow depending on where you stop... probably Dawson I'm think'n, past there the towns get really spread out.

Some people take the ferry from Alaska back down to Washington, and then ride home from there.

I think Grex's plan might have been to stop by Ushuia for lunch on his way back to OKC from prudhoe

I took the Ferry up to AK 6 years ago... a cool trip... and I'd do it again, if it was that you'd miss some of the most amazing country by doing so.

oh and it's FUCKING EXPENSIVE! course it's a couple night journey and I had a truck and Uhaul (and a berth w/shower and window)
