Summer riding in the US is our specialty! This season, we’ve been sending rentals and tours out of our Anchorage facility since June 28. We’re seeing significantly less traffic on the roads than usual up here with minimal menacing RV’s. Maybe the Canadian borders being closed to non-essential travelers isn’t such a bad thing, eh?
If you’re considering flying up to ride in Alaska this summer, we can tell you the state has relaxed the requirements for visitors. At the moment this newsletter is being written, visitors can opt to get tested for COVID-19 up to 72 hours prior to arrival, and as long as your test results come back negative, you’re free to explore! Click this link for more detailed information.
Itchin’ to get away this summer? We’ve got room for a few more riders on our Alaska Northern Lights Adventure from August 22nd – 30th, 2020. If you’re open to sharing a room and want to save a few bucks, we do have one shared occupancy slot for a female rider and another for a male rider. This partially unpaved ride takes you through some of the most scenic motorable parts of Alaska via tarmac and maintained dirt roads. We’ve even got a few opportunities to explore beyond the main roads, too!

Not ready to come up just yet? Totally understandable. Just as a head’s up: some riders have postponed their 2020 Alaskan adventure until 2021, so our motorcycles are booking up faster than usual. We encourage you to reserve your rig while we still have them available. Start by submitting this rental request, and one of our Motorcycle Vacation Addiction Enablers will follow up with an exact quote. Your pricing and motorcycle reservation will be locked in once you pay your deposit.
Reserve now for next year, and we will honor our 2020 rental pricing:
