alaska ! is it utopia ?

im from london and spent august of this year in alaska, touring a suzuki Dr650....the place was magnificent, the people friendly and interesting and the girls didnt have beards (like i was told they would have)..........

i travelled the kenai penninsula and up to the denali highway and what i really wanted was to have my R6 with me coz those roads were just made for roasting !!.....in a safe way of course.......i was suprised only to meet one R6 owner in a garage at girdwood, i got carried away and went on at him how wonderful this place is and why hasnt everyone got sports bikes instead of harleys in the summer.. think he thought i was a stupid limey...0] .

anyway, the last thing ya wanna hear is about a strangers exploits, but just wanted to say how superb the state is and that i wanna ditch london for the hills and glaciers !!.....love to hear from you alaskan !

man i wish i had met up with you cause they're plenty of sportbike riders up here. they say we have more sportbikes per capita than any other state. if you ever decide to come up here again let me know so we can hit the roads.

Nice one Al !! I will definatly be back mate. I haven`t thought of much else since i came home. Your wonderful place has affected me in ways i never imagined......If there was a guarentee of long term work i`d sell up here and be on the first plane to anchorage !! even if your winters are extreme. I wanna experience that aswell !!

We haven`t really got the roads here in and around london to get 50% out of our sportsbeasts let alone 90%. The police and councils have cracked down so much recently theres cameras everywhere and as soon as we find ways to overcome them another bloody gadget comes out.. 2 fellas went to jail recently for a month coz they we`re recorded doing a bit over 150mph...so ya can imagine the horrors we get on every road.its all down to revenue and not saftey, which they recon it is !! w@nkers !!

I remember trying to find a place to rent me a sports (anything would have made me happy) in anchorage, but to no avail. the only place that did offer me what they thought was sports was next to the harley shop and it was a bloody harley sports >D !!!!

superb for posting Al..........have fun mate !!:thumbsup

Ak rocks, I spent three years in Fairbanks. I learned to ride while I was there, and the mountain roads between Fairbanks and Anchorage were killer. I cannot wait to get back and live there permanatly, there is no other place like it.

If you ever do move up there mate and still post on here, let me know if theres a chance of a limey with no qualifications ever being able to survive up there please !! ...............englands cr@p now i want out !:burnout
