John, thank you so much for doing these videos for all of us to enjoy. Many of us won't be as fortunate, so you are our advocate on this trip. God's Blessing for your safety in your travels!
Coldfoot camp is the most northern truckstop....you'll probably see a lot of Carlisle transport trucks up on the Dalton highway 🛣 as well suppling the oil 🛢 fields up there ...
2.09 is per litre in Yukon not per gallon Johnny . So there is 3.75 litres per gallon so that’s $7.83 Canadian per gallon so that’s the equivalent to $5.96 in US dollars per gallon in Yukon
John, you made it this far, had a great run, and accomplished most of your goals. To continue ALL ALONE, ON A ROUGH DIRT ROAD, on a bike not made for that, with IFFY WEATHER AHEAD just seems illogical to me. This has been a hard-driving non-stop tour. Hardly a "vacation". You aren't 20 years old anymore, why not step back, enjoy what you have achieved, and head home to your wife and family in Wisconsin. Best wishes, whatever you decide....
I cannot believe I have been watching you for 8 years now!! Anyway, since you have made it to my home state, have someone show you where 'The Igloo' is at, it is between Fairbanks and Wasilla. Also, see if you can find McCarthy. That is worth your time!! Have fun, that is what Alaska is all about. Thanks for all the videos, this retired old driver surely likes them.
I lived near Anchorage, 1954-55. You may want to consider going from Anchorage down to Homer and take the ferry to Seattle.. Not sure the price of the ferry trip but the gas and motel costs may pay for the ride. You'll se some interesting country while on the ferry.
MR.JBG ... SIR GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT!!!! NO REALLY.. GOES TO SHOW PEOPLE ... THAT WE CAN DO ANYTHING.. WITH A LITTLE BIT OF THINKING... BLESSED TO YOU AND FAMILIA
Many Harley dealers won't work on older bikes. Since the dealer John went to also sells Harley, they may have that policy for all brands. More than likely though, they just didn't want to help John out. Cretins.
In southern California you pull in to most mechanic shop with points and carburetor they won't work on your car. Most tire shops don't carry 14 inch tires
Remember the TOOTER TURTLE 🐢 cartoon? LOL 😂, I think you’re gonna need Mr. Wizard 🧙♀️ to bring you back to Sheboygan on your patio with tampers drinking a cold beer. For the new generation; Tooter Turtle was a cartoon character that was very adventurous but he’d always go in over his head, but he always had Mr. Wizard to save him. Perhaps John will need some help before this is all over. He’ll probably be praying 🙏🏼 more than ever just like old tooter turtle always had to do.
There was a episode when tooter wanted to be a truck driver, Until he went down a mountain and lost his brakes, then of course it was HELP MR. WIZARD . 😂
The Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (DOT&PF) and contractor Quality Asphalt Paving (QAP) are paving the last fifty miles of the Dalton Highway in a two-year project that is being constructed in 2020 and 2021.
The Dalton Highway, also called the Haul Road, is one of the northern-most roads in the world. It was originally constructed by Alyeska Pipeline Service Company to support the development of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and to service the oil fields on Alaska’s North Slope. It is now owned and maintained by the State of Alaska and is open to the public year-round.
I’m sure by now you figured out that when you’re in the middle of nowhere which Fairbanks is as you can attest by your long drive to get there brands have a tendency to let dealers handle multiple brands of motorcycles and four wheelers side-by-side’s and such snow machines
Hi from New Zealand, John, thanks for sharing your trip with us, look forward to each video, I notice you don't wear gloves, just worried if you slide on the gravel with not hand protection. You'll be picking gravel out for year. Stay safe and enjoy the rest of your trip..
Annette Stonham, I mentioned that to John when he mentioned what he forgot at the start. But I figured he did already but funny how woman worry àbout stuff more or it seems that way. He drives for a living so.... But, beautiful sky in Alaska and country side. If it was me I would just go and as long as there is Money or credit card just enjoy, stay positive and stay safe. I guess he is already back home . New Zealand is a place I would love to visit. I follow some people from Australia who fly planes. The world has so much to do and see. 🛣️🏍️🏜️🛩️🌏🌎🌍🦊
you should keep the bike john it's only done 50 thousand miles it's still practically new it sounds great you know if you have any problems with it larry will fix it like new definitely keep it.

Hi Beverly. I would love to go see the wooden bridge. I was working at Howard Johnson in the early 70s and men would come in telling about being in Alaska working on the pipeline for 6 months and made 60-80 thousand dollars, for 6 months that's all they did. I have a school friend went to school together in the late 60s-the mid 70s and she moved to Anchorage , Alaska . Got married and he is a airline mechanic. She loves it there. They moved back to Tucson for 6 months and she said they couldn't stand it and went back to Alaska 🍙🏔️ she said it's very expensive to live there. There are cities just like Dallas 🌆🏙️or 🏜️Tucson or Atlanta 🛣️ there. It's just cold, I would be in a hot tub 6 hours a day. 🥶🌏🌎🌍 Foxie Dog says Hi🦊🤗
@@foxiedogitchypaws7141 LOL...so, you're an "in the hot tube" southern beauty 😁It sounds like AK is a captivating place! So many more isolated undeveloped places...I would probably luv it (though not the high prices) I've always enjoyed the winter, but not the blizzards of course🥴*hagd* & a hi hug to Foxie Dog🐕🦺. [btw: hows the rock garden coming along? up here the only thing green are the weeds rt now after all this heat/it's a challenge to be sure!].🍁😎☕☕☕
@@merryB272 oh, rock garden is only half way done, 1 60 pound bag of concrete and I quit. Then started blowing more leaves that are beginning to fall. Wait until you see pictures of Foxie Dog on her motorcycle. It's a Hardly A Davidson. Her picture are called Itchy Paw's. I can't do video, it's just me so if I take her to a friend house and her motorcycle,maybe I can get her to help me do a video. I guess I can put pictures on her y t channel, Foxie Dog 🦊
@@foxiedogitchypaws7141 *Itchy Paws* is a grt name!

for the trailer some wood glue will fix it just fine, stop by the walmart in fairbanks. i live in valdez, it the end of the pipe line so lot of tankers there.my goldwing is a 86, i can't update the gps that someone put in it back in 2014.
to bad you did not get down to Valdez, to bad the goldwing took a dump like it did. you would have liked it there. i was willing to put a new radiator in it for you, if she broke down elsewhere.

Some one said they were looking foward to some trucking Viedos....If you listen to the end of this viedo he said it was AUGUST 20 when he stropped..So he should be home by now....
Now image how small that city was back in the year I was born in '62. My late. Dad told they would let the car run all night so it wouldn't freeze in the winter.
John, On your way back home, come down through hwy 22 that ties into hwy 25 (goes to Spokane). Stop in Rossland BC and wife and I will buy you great NY cut steak.
If someone offered me 1 million dollars to drive on a Honda bike the length of Wi. to the end of Dalton highway & return ..I’d say No Way ! But JBG will try to do it… Seeing a land my eyes never have seen. God be with you and family.
Sad that u won't let the trucker pass, i wonder what u would be saying if it were u in the truck and some bike was slowing u down for hours. What word would u be thinking or using.
Can't wait for some trucking videos🚛✌

I had a brand new Ford Taurus company car here in Houston, Texas that came with an engine block heater. Didn’t get used much !

Atagan pass will certainly be a challenge..
I went to an online converter. $4.48 (USD) a gallon comes out to $1.552 (CAD) a litre.

All is well thanks
doesnt it look like everybody is leaving** that area JBG ??
