It seems like it can become a grind at times, but guessing you will carry the good moments with you forever. Not to mention the challenge you presented yourself with and example you set for your children.

@CrunchMoto Месяц назад

Very true!

@FrankC656 11 месяцев назад

“I guess this is fun” hahaha. I commend you, this is has been great to watch! At the end of every video when I see the mileage for the day I just say “how?” You must have an awesome seat or buns of steel.

@CrunchMoto 11 месяцев назад

The Saddleman Dominator and using my bag as a backrest is a game changer.

@tonygreene3941 Месяц назад

Those metal grid bridges, when wet, can be pretty scary.

@CrunchMoto Месяц назад

Scariest part of the trip… until I reached the Dalton.

@killer1963daddy Месяц назад

You are pushing it! Dawson Creek b.c here.

@CrunchMoto 22 дня назад

Beautiful area, Dawson Creek. I hope to be back soon.

@jonsea4225 20 дней назад

Great ride! Those gravel sections can seem to come out of nowhere. Hit about 100 klicks of gravel in northern Mantoba a few years ago and a rock went through the belt and cut it about half way through. But she made it home.

@CrunchMoto 11 дней назад

Oh wow! Glad you made it home

@jonsea4225 11 дней назад

Me too, then the dealer charged me a grand to change it.

@RestlessMule 11 месяцев назад

I’m really enjoying this series. The amount of miles you put in day in and day out is truly impressive. Also, I got a chuckle @9:33 with all the ADV bikes…and there you are with your Road King. 😆

@CrunchMoto 11 месяцев назад

Half those guys were from Mexico City, and the ones parked next to the transit van were from China!

@StatiK2971 27 дней назад

This looks like such a fun trip. I kind of want to follow your tracks. But you should have used a bike with longer range! Many bikes can do 300 on a tank!

@CrunchMoto 22 дня назад

Thanks for watching! I used this bike because it’s the one I have 😄

I have been binge watching this series almost daily, I absolutely love it! This is a trip I would like to take with my old man. Can you make a video later on how much a trip like this cost? It would be great info!

@CrunchMoto 11 месяцев назад

Absolutely will do. Thanks for watching!

@KRE03051 11 месяцев назад

Keep rolling out the videos bro! I had been wanting to do this trip as well...but after seeing these roads, I am quickly changing my mind! Wanna keep my 1000 lb Road Glide Limited on the pavement lol..I may just have to live vicariously through your trip!

@CrunchMoto 11 месяцев назад

Thanks! I’m working on the Dalton Highway video now. It will be online later this week

Very rough estimates, I went up from Vancouver BC and back at of 600+ days. The further N you go the more Expensive it gets, I was able to find accommodation for between 100 to 150 per night up to Dawson Creek after this it was 150 to 200 in the North it was well over 200 a night. It was 18;day trip for me. I found a hostel or camped rough a couple in Alaska. I stayed pretty much the cheapest dump available or camped so. If you have your own bike 250 bucks a day if you want to eat well and sleep comfortably. I was finding somewhere the night before so lot of places were full and I had to some really long days. I did the Dempster and booked it 6 months ahead 200+ per night.

@johnmacdonald1878 7 месяцев назад

The Yukon Highways are masters of understatement you lucky if the sign even says bump. I came S Down the Alaska Highway at the beginning July Through the Great Canadian Smokey Mountains. Heck of a road. Saw a lot of wildlife and it’s and some of the gas stations were closed.

100% true!

@CrunchMoto 11 месяцев назад

@GregALang 6 месяцев назад

You may have pumped gas into your bike from a station with water in their underground tanks and it took your bike a few fill ups to run it all out. I've seen that happen before. Especially if you fill up at a mom and pops type of station that doesn't see much traffic. Condensation builds up in those underground tanks.

@CrunchMoto 6 месяцев назад

Yeah -that's entirely possible. I stopped at some pretty lonely gas stations

@RealRonTV 11 месяцев назад

@krogersucks45 11 месяцев назад

I took that trip from Mich. in 2017 . I was surprised by the amount of ppl on bicycles I seen. There was a big group that had rode up from Texas.

@CrunchMoto 11 месяцев назад

Dude. Tell me about it. I even saw 2 guys running!!

This is an amazing series. I have the Harley Tri Glide and would appreciate your thoughts on me heading to Deadhorse with it. Again, your series is great! Thanks, Fred

@CrunchMoto 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching! I've never ridden a trike, but spoke with a rider at Fairbanks Harley Davidson who took it to the Dalton Highway sign but was concerned about ground clearance if she went any farther. Check out my next video about the Dalton and decide for yourself. (I will post it the week of 9/11)

Did you not make it to Prudo Bay ? Videos abruptly end.

@CrunchMoto 3 месяца назад

Yes, I made it to Prudhoe Bay. Watch part 7.

@laineym2005 11 месяцев назад

Another great video! Thanks! Hey, I don't think you ever told us what the problem with high fuel consumption was before Calgary . . . Glad all seems better at this point!

@CrunchMoto 11 месяцев назад

Thanks! Turns out it was just the headwind + my speed.

@bigmike4962 7 месяцев назад

Did the guys at Calgary HD figure out the gas mileage issue?

@CrunchMoto 7 месяцев назад

Nope. They chalked it up to speed and headwinds... which turned out to be true because I got much better fuel economy once I slowed down a bit.

@macnunes 7 месяцев назад

Hey I have been enjoying your videos on the Alaska trip I have a question, did you ship your bike back? If so who brought it? Thanks Planning my trip this year. Not sure if I should just go to glacier national park and Banff national park. Would love to hear your thoughts Thanks for the videos. God bless !!!

@CrunchMoto 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching. Hope you found it inspiring. Yes- I shipped my bike back. I wasn't particularly happy with the company, so I can't recommend them. I will tell you that it would have been easier and cheaper to ship from Anchorage than Fairbanks. Also would have been better for me to make the arrangements before the trip instead of within 24 hours of me flying home from Fairbanks. The Harley dealership was great about holding the bike for a week at no cost. Banff and the surrounding area is beautiful but crowded so be ready for a little bit of traffic. We stayed in Canmore which has easy access to Banff. Feel free to bounce other questions off me. Happy to help. Cheers!

@macnunes 7 месяцев назад

@@CrunchMoto thanks for the reply I love in south Florida and for the last 3 years I have ridden from Boca to Denver where I leave the bike for the summer. I used motorcycle adventure company to store my bike. But 2023 I rented a storage unit near the airport I kept going west and left my bike 2022 road glide ultra in Vegas. So I am planning to go north so Alaska is a viable option. But a buddy of mine that did the trip 4 years ago said he was not happy he rode from here to dead horse. He said much better to fly and rent a bike there. lol I can’t do that.

@MrGunner945 3 месяца назад

maybe I missed it in the last video but, what was the reason for the excessive fuel consumption you were experiencing?

@CrunchMoto 3 месяца назад

Turns out it was just excessive speed into a headwind

@roebucksadventure 9 месяцев назад

so do you have 2 gopros that you used to film for this trip.

@CrunchMoto 9 месяцев назад

Yes. I have a hero 9 black on a chin mount and a hero session on the handlebars pointed at me.

where do the bicyclists stay at night if they're not close to a campground.

@CrunchMoto 11 месяцев назад

Good question! It seemed like they stopped wherever they wanted. There was literally nothing out there.

@MrXltennis 11 месяцев назад

I guess they don't worry about bears

@CrunchMoto 11 месяцев назад

I’m not sure the campgrounds don’t also have bears.

@philsain4657 11 месяцев назад

You do great videos. Well crafted. But these rides were too long, and too fast. You barely showed us where you stopped, what troubles you had. 600 mile days aren't fun. Your 'across the USA' vids were a better mix of riding and sights. Don't get me wrong, your work is exceptional. But what good is the experience if you just blow though the country?

@CrunchMoto 11 месяцев назад

I agree, 600-mile days don't leave much time for anything other than riding. If I could do it again, I'd aim for 400 or 500-mile days.

@takethat863 7 месяцев назад

Man you can't criticize him I rode from Philly to Sturgis and I was doing between 560 and 620 mile days u don't have time to constantly stop and always take pics and constantly talking in the camera your trying to get to places by certain times also most motorcycle riders don't like riding at night because your sight is restricted and it can be dangerous so you really have to push it during daylight hours I commend this guy for being able to do this trip i rode long trips you have no idea the shyt this man was going through while he was riding be happy he was able to record what he did and shared it with the world

@stevenwright6573 9 месяцев назад

Hows the bike? Did the HD dealer say what was up?

@CrunchMoto 9 месяцев назад

Turns out it was just a strong headwind and excessive speed.

@stevenwright6573 9 месяцев назад

@CrunchMoto great video, dude, a bucket list ride for sure. Gotta say, especially after seeing the Alaska footage, doing it on a Road King, and not an ADV bike....balls big enough to come in a dump truck.
