This year Dan is definitely going and he&#8217;s hoping to find three other people who are interested in a (relatively) inexpensive adventure ride.<\/p>\n<p>As the proprietor of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.go2moto.com\/\">Go 2 Motorcycle Tour<\/a>s, Dan has a need to move a few KLRs from Seattle to Anchorage. In exchange for you helping him get them there, he&#8217;ll set it all up and for your $1,300 you&#8217;ll get 10 days bike rental, a guide, and a support vehicle. What is not covered is gas, food, and lodging. Of course, it&#8217;s up to you to get to the starting point in Seattle, and also to get home then from Anchorage.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s put this in perspective. I don&#8217;t know the details but this is all somehow in connection with a MotoQuest <a href=\"http:\/\/www.motoquesttours.com\/guided-motorcycle-tour.php?north-america-washington-oregon-canada-alaska-22#itinerary\">North to Alaska Tour<\/a> that will be making the same ride at the same time. If you ride with MotoQuest your fees cover gas, food, and lodging, but the very cheapest option they offer is $3,400 if you ride your own bike and share a room. It&#8217;s $5,600 if you ride their bike and share a room.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s making Dan&#8217;s option sound pretty enticing, isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>Well, if you&#8217;re interested you have to decide quickly. The ride leaves Seattle on May 17 and arrives in Anchorage on May 26. You can get to Dan through his website or by email at go2mototours@yahoo.com.<\/p>\n<p>Like the song says, &#8220;North! To Alaska! We&#8217;re going north, the rush is on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recent from National Motorcycle Examiner<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/article\/setting-the-standard-for-electric-motorcycle-speed-rating\">Setting the standard for electric motorcycle speed rating<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Biker Quote for Today<\/h3>\n<p>Adventure begins when the pavement ends.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-6876146887090826\";\n\/* 468x60, created 10\/12\/11 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"3812714403\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 468;\ngoogle_ad_height = 60;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dan Patino and I were hoping to ride a couple KLR 650s up to Alaska last summer but we couldn&#8217;t swing the financial end of it.
