Trip meter on my bike from driveway to driveway at my house was 6814.8 miles. We did a number of side trips that were not accounted for in the mapping program route distances listed above and these side trips accounts for the additional mileage. As a comparison, this is the same as riding from New York City, NY to Las Angeles, CA then returning to NYC and THEN riding to Palm Beach, Florida!
As for what we did NOT accomplish. From our furthest point on the ALCAN to:
Yukon border 236 miles
Alaska border 851 miles
Fairbanks, AK 1144 miles
Ferry East of Anchorage, AK 1317 miles
Trip covered 2 countries (USA and Canada) 13 USA states and 4 Canadian Territories
Special items carried:
1 gallon of extra gas in saddlebag tank
1 quart of extra oil
Tool bag
Tire air pressure gage
Shock air pump
Front brake lock
Spare light bulbs and fuses
Spare clutch cable
Bike cover
First-aid kit, including survival items to stay out in wilderness overnight
Total weight of bags, clothes and misc equipment – 140 lbs.
Fuel used – 165 gallons obtained in 51 fuel stops (41.2 miles per gallon average)
Fuel obtained from 87 to 94 octane (bikes require 91 or better). Some fuel in Canada was 94 octane with no Ethanol. This burned hotter and gave us great MPG while some fuel gave us terrible MPG (low octane with Ethanol)
Approximate cost: Food $750
Fuel $725
Lodging $950
Misc $500
