Would be a nice ride

Too bad Honda can't wake up sometime.

I wonder if it is strictly Harley/Buell bikes.

Motorcycles:
The event is open to air cooled, V-Twin Harley-Davidson™ motorcycles only. Custom bikes may qualify but certain modifications (e.g., fuel cells) may not be permitted.

And da geek missed the entry fee,  $1,000     Thanks for the above Serk, you found it while I was a lookin.

wonder if the entry fee is to fund chase vehicles carrying mechanics and parts!!

LOL,, when I was riding route 66 2 summers ago,, I ran into a group from Norway riding 60 rented Hardleys. Following them was a trailer behind a truck,, you guessed it,, in case of breakdowns.

So they exclude the V Rod because it's not a "real" Harley Davidson?

Nice route.  I doubt it would be an enjoyable ride.

Met a long distance rider two years ago at the local Home Depot. He was there to buy a nut to actually get a date/time/location stamp for the start of one of their events. A year earlier, he had ridden this route in reverse in 4 and 1/2 days. I bet they want let him in. And does that really give you bragging rights. The 1/2 million would be great, but the bragging rights need to be there as well.

So is it the 1st one there win or what?

Sort of a rally race set up, time/check points....

My neighbor out back wants to do it...I told him I would carry his tools...and and follow on my Valk...he did not laugh....always in good fun....

"What the Entry Fee Includes:
The entry fee buys your way into the Event. Participants will be responsible to provide their own food, fuel, accommodations, maintenance and supplies, etc. "

And the question still is - - What does the entry fee buy?  That's a lot of money for a map.

Just for clarification, if I won a half million bucks for just about any reason I think I would brag about it. Probably shouldn't because it would be in poor taste and tacky...but let's face it...I'd be bragging with some serious yahoooos thrown in. Not a time I would be able to play it cool. 


I did also wonder if the V-Rod and newer HDs would be able to compete as non-air cooled bikes. Oh well. I'm not likely to buy one just to ride over and ask. 

[Big Rig]

If honda sponsored one of those, it would be called "And Back"...

[stormrider]

emailed the event organizers. HD only. So it's not the best bike and rider. I guess they need something to brag about with slumping sales.

I have been following this for a while. The Anchorage paper had an article of how the town of Homer, after a few meetings, gave them there blessing.

I have to many responsibilities at this juncture of my life, but I really had to talk myself out of taking a trip down to Homer, document my departure from there and then ride down to there start and then back to Homer. All on my own dime, and route. Maybe make a little news, at least up here.

I'm not going to say that it would have been a trip of a life time, because that's still to come.....

Oh well, I just need to try and make it out for Inzane.

Sorry RJ for getting carried away with the pictures..............

  In 2005, we rode to Alaska.  Had a flat between Homer and Soldotna.  Had it fixed at Ron's Honda in Kenai.  Spent 3 nites in Wasilla.  Drank a few beers at the Palmer Moose Lodge.  Roy

Some Valks should go and crash the party!  Follow them from FL to AK. Maybe make the tv.

[PapaHotel]

You could always give them a headstart......

Whoa here, ya lost me.   When have I ever bitched about pictures?

Must of been in my sleep, cause I sure no remember, but my rememberer has failed a few times.   So enlighten this old fart please.       Tanx.

RJ,
I was referring to the fact it was your thread about the Ride,
and I may of been out of line with posting irrelevant pictures, like this one.............

[R J]

I put the thread out there for you'ns to see, what happens to it after my original post, I could care less............

Told my son that if we thought we could get a copy of the map at each check point, we could take the Valk and his Chopper on it..........    He pu$$ied out....

Told me if I'd let him ride the Valk, he'd do it for sheets and grins.........

I'm tempted..........

I'll bet they would beach and complain like a stuck pig...........

Tempted is all, it would take a big trailer to haul my O2 making machine a generator and etc to keep the Chopper running......    LOL    Slam of his Texas Chopper.     10 years ago I would of been gone in a heart beat.......
