[mrhiway420]

[mrhiway420]

[superrockinmrmagic89]

[Microglia1]

[ScorpioBornIn69]

This is done in August of '08? When I went through there it was mid-late June, never getting dark north of the BC/Yukon border.

Nice Video. I did a solo bicycle tour from Fairbanks to Florida in 2008 and The Alaskan Highway was absolutely amazing to experience. Started heading south on July 1 at 50 miles/day. It was well worth the challenge and effort for its beauty alone. Nearly every day I saw something that rivaled 'religious experience'. If you have the chance in your lifetime to visit Alaska and Western Canada, just go.

Harley Davidson...little doubt.

[axlerodder]

can you tell me what highway this is? i plan on trying do do an IBA run on up to Deadhorse from the lower 48...is this the Dalton? and if i was on this highway believe me i'd be doing all the passing...how rough is it up at Atigun pass could a regular street bike make it through or will i need a dual sport type bike? obviously it will be attempted during July Hopefully no rain! what is the normal range in temperature up there in July?

Thank you

[axlerodder]

Im a motorcycle rider and was watching this just to see the condition of the highway and apologize for them...i can only think that they are fellow IBA (iron butt riders) that have probably road a thousand miles straight already and are getting fatigued or it is possible that something is wrong with the lead bikes clutch and cant slow down because he cant down shift.

[calvinhobbescinnamon]

was that "tourist season' or "terrorist season"?

[peteryuill1]

amazing scenery for a great job,a wish a had ure job m8

[DodgeFarmBoy]

LOL, I know how you feel only where I work its slow western star trucks with detroits that get in the way of my k whopper ;) !

[HyperActive7]

We call those damn Sunday Drivers who get into the fast lane like idiots and just poke along without caring about other traffic.

They really need to pull those morons over for being clueless. If I was on the bikes and I knew a couple of big 20 wheelers was coming behind me I'd gladly let them pass.

[alexfo7o]

Ugh people that drive that damn slow make me impatient!

[atlingirl76]

lol. They must be from Nevada.

[BigRigDriver38]

Lol Tammy i know just what you go though.I work in a tourist ravaged area in the Yorkshire Dales in England and caravans and people looking at the sheep and cows in fields driving at 30mph on 60 roads!!!!!!!!!!!!That and farmers in tractors holding us up does yor head in.

Ace film 5*****.

Amazing video. Thanks for posting this.

You find idiots all over and obviously Alaska is no different.

[challengerdodge]

damn campers your passing everything in sight

[messa4]

by the way, does your truck even have a governor? Jesus, you're moving quick, are you behind or something?

[north60star]

It always looks like you're going faster on a video... I've posted some of me going down windy hills and I look at go holy crap.... it looks like I'm flying down that hill! Really I was doing about 55 km/h

[north60star]

Oh and yes... I'm governed at about 118 km/h.

[north60star]

You do know that the video is sped up at least x2 in most of the driving parts? hahahaha

[messa4]

Well speeding the video up x2 would make a lot of sense, lol. I guess you're right about the going faster on film, as I can believe that. What type of camera are you using, I like the picture that you get, it's really clear.

[north60star]

It took me a while to figure out why you thought I might be going so fast. hah

its a Canon Z930 I think. I'd like to get one of those little flip HD soon though!

[messa4]

Canon is supposed to make nice cameras, I had a canon video camera once, but it wasn't that impressive, but I imagine that the new ones like you have are all digital sensors and such. I just bought a kodak M1033 camera and it's great. Takes good pictures, and shoots 720p HD videos, which look really nice.

[north60star]

I have also a Canon Rebel XTi SLR camera... I looooooove it.

[messa4]

I have the Nikon D40x, which is exactly like the XTi, and same here, I love it! It takes better pictures, has interchangable lenses, and is just overally 250% faster at taking pictures and starting up than the point and shoots. In my opinion, it is worth every extra penny!

[h2snow22]

@messa4 we don't sit around behind the terrorists all day long ..don't got time for it

[Kingpoint]

Keep in mind that truckers do not own the road and have to respect everyone's safety limits i.e driving at a reasonable speed for the road conditions. When a rig hit's something at 120kph there is usually nothing left of it i.e. a moose, bison, small vehicle or a bike. Sorry guys, but slowing trucks down on the highway is not such a bad thing.

[north60star]

Sure its not.... give truckers some reason for more road rage.. good idea. Sorry, but slowing down trucks is a really bad idea. Ever tried to pass trucks that are side by side climbing a hill after they've both hit their governor?

When there is a lot of highway, why shouldn't the trucks go off and run away from the traffic? Just makes perfect sence to me. Uneducated 4 wheeler drivers usually cause their own issues.

[messa4]

what happens when you get a speeding ticket, do you or the company pay it?

[north60star]

If I got one.. I would pay it.

hallin ass

[tirol50]

Another great video with great music.

I really like the comments you edit into the video. Especially of places or locations you drive by.

Keep up the great work.
