Anyone on the forum ridden to/in Alaska? I'm planning to go at least once in 2008 leaving from Seattle. Going to ride the FJR. I know this topic is discussed to death on other forums, so what I'm really interested in here is the perspective of someone who has done it on an FJR, or a bike like an FJR. The general idea is to ride up and take the Alaskan Ferry back. Probably only going as far as Whitehorse/Skagway. In particular, any suggestions about the following . . .
Thanks in advance for any thoughts, help, pointers, etc.

The general idea is to ride up and take the Alaskan Ferry back. Probably only going as far as Whitehorse/Skagway. In particular, any suggestions about the following . . .
- Prepping the bike
- Tire choice (assuming I take the Ferry back, my max miles will be 2500 or so)
- Gear you'd take
- What tie-downs to take for the Ferry ride back
- Places you'd recommend
- Thoughts on Stewart-Cassiar Hwy 37. My understanding is sections of it are gravel
Thanks in advance for any thoughts, help, pointers, etc.
