Thanks for an informative forum. <o></o> <o> </o> We (2XGS and an RT) are planning a trip to Deadhorse in July 07 leaving <st1lace w:st="on">Southwest Michigan</st1lace> shortly after the July 4<sup>th</sup> weekend. Our anticipated route envisions nearly 5k miles when we arrive in <st1:state w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Alaska</st1lace></st1:state>. Before attempting the <st1:city w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Dalton</st1lace></st1:city>, we would like to get the bikes serviced (oil change, fresh tires, additional repairs as needed, etc). <o></o> <o> </o> Any references for: <o></o> <st1lace w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Anchorage</st1:city></st1lace>: The Motorcycle Shop? <st1lace w:st="on"><st1:state w:st="on">Alaska</st1:state></st1lace> Leather?<o></o> <st1:city w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Fairbanks</st1lace></st1:city>: Trails End BMW? Fine Tuned Wheels? Harley Outpost?<o></o> Wasilla: The Abbey Bike shop?<o></o> <o> </o> I found these shops in various threads, all helping individuals at some point, but some threads are dated and I have no idea weather they remain recommended or will be ready to service folks? Granted, things can change from now to July too. <o></o> <o> </o> Any other options I should know of? <o></o> <o> </o> I appreciate your input. <o></o> Jacpod<o></o>
Welcome. Contact Barb at Alaska Leather and I'm sure she will take care of all your needs. I would phone ahead and reserve tires and what ever else you need. Be prepaired for a trip of a life time. If you have any questions please PM me and I'll see if I can help you out with your trip. Rick. "The Skid Plate Guy"
The Abbey that would be me I offer full bike service and repair here also I have camping spots. number here is 907-376-6919 Trail's end BMW has been sold to the Outpost but I think he will still be doing work out of his place.
Alaska Leather is a good place to deal with, to my knowledge they only do tires, not any service work. The Abbey is a good place to deal with too.....mechanical/service and tires.
