    Randomly came across Texas to Alaska on our motorbikes. Hell yes i gotta see this ! Not only was that a trip of a lifetime with your dad , you did a super job of showing the whole trip in 8 minutes. I laughed when i saw you help with the rain gear , it's not a bike trip if you don't get soaked at least once ! Great video brother !

    The log cabin in Spences Bridge is great. We ride up there on the weekends good food and riding the canyon is great too

    • @nathancobos4685
      @nathancobos4685 3 роки тому

      Couldn’t agree more. The Log Cabin was one of the highlights. We were staying at a campsite down the road and weren’t expecting for their to be a full-blown bar with hot food within walking distance. The woman who runs the bar, Laurie Kingston, couldn’t have been more hospitable. If we lived relatively close we’d make the ride regularly.

    • @nathancobos4685
      @nathancobos4685 4 роки тому

      Thanks Jim, glad you enjoyed our video. I'm riding a 2001 Deuce (~55,000 miles, fuel injected) and my father is riding a 2007 Heritage (~25,000 miles, carburetor). I changed from stock bars to apes on my Deuce a few years ago and find that riding long distances is much more comfortable; the opposite of what I expected when I made the change. Aside from my apes, the bikes are both generally stock. I have a windshield in the garage but rode without one and my Father rode with his. The wind seemed to be more of an issue with my Father's bike, additionally, when it rained, he had a hard time seeing through the water droplets on both his visor and windshield. Oddly enough, if we were to do it again, I think my Father may consider going no windshield. Before leaving we put on new tires, new spark plugs and wires, in addition to changing the engine, primary and transmission oil. No carburetor adjustments were made on the Heritage. We had zero issues with our bikes.

      @nathancobos4685 4 роки тому

      Thank you, we really enjoyed it. I don't have a map but I've written down below where we stayed each night. With the list below you should be able to draw up a reasonable route. Some days you ride further than you'd expect, some days you don't travel but a few hours. The best course of action was to call the campgrounds when we were a few hours out and see what was available. Good luck, I hope you take the trip, a truly memorable experience and an accomplishment that my Dad and I can forever brag about. Starting in Dallas, TX 1. Dexter, NM 2.

    Can we bring a gun when we cross Canada? Planing to do the same on my bike

    • @nathancobos4685
      @nathancobos4685 4 роки тому

      You cannot legally bring a pistol into Canada. We worked with Skagit Shooting Range in Bellingham, Washington (just on the border) and sent our pistols to Mitchell Supply in Great Falls, Montana. We picked up our pistols on the way back into the United States. For some odd reason you can bring in a sawed off style shotgun into Canada and the shotguns are sold at the Skagit Shooting Range on the US side of the Canadian border. There are very specific rules when it comes to shipping your pistol, call Mitchell Supply in Montana and they’ll set you straight, both gun shops were great to work with. Talked to an American on our trip who said he snuck a pistol into Canada a few years back, was caught, put in a holding cell and fined $5,000, I have nothing but that man’s word to back that story up. Feel free to ask any questions about the trip, I’d be happy to help.

Both my father and I realize how fortunate we are to have been able to take this trip together. It was an experience neither of us will forget and something we sometimes still can’t believe we did. I’m sure riding brings back memories of your father. You be careful too, wear a helmet, ride safe, thank you for leaving a comment for us both to enjoy.
