Looks like an interesting trip! Thanks for sharing!
Why do people want spoke wheels over cast wheels? Just curious. I would think being cast wheels are easier to maintain and look better than the old spoke type rims they'd be more appealing.

Great video! I have been hoping to ride my 2020 V-Strom 650XT Adventure model from KY to Deadhorse for a few years now. At age 75, I had better hurry and pray that I make it before time runs out. Your video will help me greatly with accessories, mods, and gear. All of my BMW friends have no interest in riding up there, so it looks like it could be a solo trip. I first drove my car to AK in 1976 when 900 miles of the Alaska Highway was gravel. I went through 6-7 flat tires, 1-2 throttle cables, one broken windshield and one blown motor (in Ontario) on my VW Beetle. Those happenings gave the trip LOTS of character! I hope my proposed bike trip has different kinds of character next time, lol!

Hey guys, how in the world do you ride anywhere in Alaska with all those darn mosquitoes? What did you do to protect your radiator? Im looking to get of these stock tires. I need something i can do the gravel roads with too. I do highway miles but im on the edge of the desert with lots of dirt roads rocky road. Suppose a front fender lift would be in order too. Tire ideas?

Do you recommend a hard case or a soft case for the unpaved roads?

Terry - recently found your channel and want to say thanks for putting together such thorough, informative and entertaining video series.  I’ve watched all your videos and look forward to the remainder of the Dempster videos when they are released.  One quick question on your V-Strom - do you have aftermarket cruise control or a throttle lock installed?  I don’t believe that model came stock with cruise did it?  Thanks again for the great videos!

Are you able to tell how much cost was for your overall trip?

Nice video. Hopefully you changed the amount of stuff you brought ;-) your poor bike looks overloaded.

Hey friend, i loved this whole series. I got my first adv bike last summer and am still breaking it in.  Would you say the tire change from the stock street tires to the note all terrain tires made a huge difference?  How is riding the off road tires on the highway.  I ride 80-90% highways

Just came across your video.   I am riding a 2018 Strom 1000xt and doing the Canadian cousin of Prudhoe Bay this June.     Riding the Dempster Hwy to the Tuktoyuktuk and the Arctic Ocean.    Thanks for your video and what worked for ya.   👍

Question: if you rode in Alaska during the summer, were the extra lights necessary?

Do you know if I you can take a drone into Canada from the U.S.?

Respectfully I just can't watch this.  I had to bail.  Feels like you hand on the music volume knob turning it up and then down, up and then down, up and then down.  Good content but the music levels up and down between narration forced me to leave minutes into it.

Don’t know if it was mentioned but, you should keep the spot on your person. If you are thrown from the bike and can’t get back to it, you can still activate it. Great video, thank you so much.

What is the name of the song and the artist for the opening song of this video? Please?

WOW!!!  What an awesome video series!  Thanks for doing this.  A group of us are planning to do this ride in 2022.  I live in the Denver area and would love to meet with you to discuss more about it.  How can I contact you or give you my contact info in a secure manner?

A HUGE thumbs up for disabling mid-roll ads. Those stupid ads in the middle of a video are annoying like hell and I think they interrupt the thought process one has a one watches the video and try to take all the info in. Thank you!

I wish they would  up the ground clearance 2-3 inches ! I love the vstrom my 2009 was awesome my only issue was is the low ground clearance.

Wow! You have really made your bike custom. Nice!

Wow, just wow!  What an amazing journey

Wow you sure did your prep work give you thumbs up on that
