Just returned from my Alaska trip

I got back on Sunday. I did ~7200 miles in 24 days. The bike was flawless. 
A couple things that I learned:
  Alaska is far
  Alaska requires more than 3 1/2 weeks
  Suspension upgrades are worth the money
  I really want to go back to top loader luggage (touratech actually had a set of their racks available, so I ordered the racks.  I just need to decide on the boxes now)
  And lastly, I absolutely love this bike!  Next year I'm going to see Maine

I will definitely do Alaska again when I I have more time available.

 :thumbsup side loaders are not are not easy to get your stuff out of when the bikes taking a nap  :augie
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

They're also not easy to close when stuff shifts. I love the look of the factory luggage, but the only good thing about them is the left one fits a helmet.
