Hello, Chris! I am so glad this video popped up into my feed! I watched one of your videos a few years ago and stopped by your channel but as you know, riding and making videos takes a good long time so there isn't a lot of time to watch channels. However this one really caught my eye because hubby and I rode, he on his 2018 Ultra limited and me on my 2018 Can-Am Spyder F3 Limited to Alaska this past summer. We did not go to prudhoe Bay... We wanted to though! We spent a few weeks in Alaska exploring, set up base camp at North Pole and visited valdez, seward, whittier, Homer spit Anchorage and Fairbanks. I really like how you did this video! I am working on my Alaska series still...😅😅😅... We left July 7th so maybe we even saw you up there somewhere lol. We crossed back into Canada at the top of the world Highway and our first stop then was Dawson City... We thought perhaps the road would be a bit better than the Alcan was from Haines junction to Tok... It was not lol. I will definitely watch your whole series on this because it's cool when you've been somewhere you can relate to it even better. Also, we've been to key West on our rides. We were there last April... We live in Pennsylvania and only made it to South Dakota on our way home from Alaska because in Sioux Falls on August 28th I suffered a brain bleed. The amazing news is that we were only three miles from Sanford medical Center, the only level one trauma Center in the state. I am fully recovered and just started back riding again! Take care and hope to meet you in person and swap Alaska stories some day! @crunchmoto

Never go through Atlanta, go around on the loops, in west palm, pick up 70 west to 27/98 south, takes you down the center of the state, ( NO MIAMI BS) 27 to chrome 997 to over seas hwy to key west. ( on the northside of key largo, you have to try Bob's BUNs)

I've watched your cross country Ca to Fla before, just watched it again and then found this trip, love your RK, I just recently got a 99. Looking to do a long trip also, do you still have the 5 speed or is it a 6 speed? Does the 5 speed hinder you in any way? Coming from a bike with a 6 speed.
@CrunchMoto

Awesome! Thanks for watching. Yes- I have the 5speed. A 6th gear would have been nice for high-speed highway cruising, otherwise the 5 was fine.

Is there a secret to the Go Pro...I took a trip to Florida to Boston a couple years ago and would get about 20 minutes out of the battery.
@CrunchMoto
@CrunchMoto 4 месяца назад
My secret is to only record about 5-10 seconds at a time while riding past interesting things. That also makes editing easier.
@larrywilson7933
@larrywilson7933 10 месяцев назад
I guess most of the viewers know there’s a few more videos leading up to this one… As far as the gas issue goes, first of all, use your gage to keep up with how much gas you have, if the gage is accurate and most aren’t that much, check it often. Running out of gas once is bad, more than once on the same trip is just careless. You obviously have an issue to get that bad a gas mileage, so I’d fix that before continuing, but that’s just me… Good videos though.
@CrunchMoto
@CrunchMoto 10 месяцев назад
Thanks for watching. Turns out it was a combination of speed and headwinds crossing the US and Canadian plains that affected my fuel economy. Nothing wrong with the bike at all. In fact, at slower speeds in Yukon and Alaska, I was able to get nearly 200 miles to a tank on multiple occasions.

You are traveling across the country and right off you don’t put on rain gear when you see a storm coming? Also, running out of gas one time is just poor planning, more than that is just incompetence.
