Alaska Motorcycle Trip Presented by Burro Has 3 Wheels Productions

[burrohas3wheels]

Yes I did. I went from Portland Oregon in 2006 and then returned to Portland. In the summer of 2007 I left Portland for Prudhoe Bay. From Prudhoe of the same year it was off to Goosebay Newfoundland Labrador and then down to Key West, Fl. In 2009 I left Florida through the Gulf States, Mexico's Gulf Coast to the Belieze Border, up the Pacific Coast and Copper Canyon across the Northern Regions to Baja and down the Baja catching a Ferry to Mazatlan.

how much extra gas did you carry? im concerned about the trip from arctic circle to deadhorse and back.  i hear there are no gas stations. thanks

[burrohas3wheels]

I spent the night at Coldfoot and topped of the gas there as well. I had the Ural 2 1/2 gal jerry can plus an extra five gallon can. When I was in Deadhorse there was a gas station about 2 blocks away. It is not a stations like we have in the lower 48. There is just a pump house. You have to look for the person to pay if I remember correctly.

My Ural (Burro) is a 2005 Troyka. It was built as a road bike. I changed out the rear end and sidecar frame so that I could put a driveable sidecar wheel on it. I want to be able to run at highway speeds without the sidecar and run in the muck as well. I still have the standard street forks on Burro. I don't know if you can get a new Ural without the leading link front end. You'd have to ask a dealer. I suggest Raceway Services in Salem Oregon. They know my moto.

I'm looking into buying a Ural. Is Burro a two wheel drive? As in a Patrol or Gear up? Do you recommend getting the option side car on demand system. I have heard that the two wheel drive bikes are geared lower and are not as good on long pavement trips.

Well thats going to b my first large travel and im going solo so im a bit scared. im going on a 09 KLR ((what do you think about the bike?))

i will wait until the weekend to flash download your movie so my friends can see it to.

please feel free to add me on facebook and also to stay at my home if you ever come to CARACAS.

The KLR 650 is one of the best bikesfor adventure riders. 99% of the people in the world are good people. Even in reported dangerous places such as Mexicos Drug Triangle, I was lost for 2 days, everyone was great. They feed me, helped me find gas and my way out. Though Caracas may make you feel on guard, don't let the city distort your view about the rest of the world. We love Venezuela. It is on our top list. As always, don't drive at night because the roads are unfamiliar.

cool video, im going from caracas to rio de janeiro soon

[burrohas3wheels]

I am jealous. We are planning for that trip as well but it will not likely happen until late 2010 or early 2011. Our plan is to run as much of the eastern coast of Central America and then South America thereby completing a total circumnavigation (tracing) of all of the Americas.
