* Buy one of the motorcycles that RG will be selling at the time
* Ride from Seattle to Alaska and Back (1 week?)
* Sell the motorcycle back to RG after she gets seller's remorse  :roll:  :mrgreen:  
* Fly back home.

Oh, I missed this one - obligatory :nana: .   :mrgreen:

For the record, my only seller's remorse is the 500F.

I recently went on a ride with a bunch of bikes, and one guy had a Firebolt. When everyone started their bikes up, it was great. I felt sorry for the guy on the Buell, though, because his bike shook at idle like an old man with Parkinson's.

I have a buddy that rides a firebolt and you look at it idle and those turn siganals are just bouncing like crazy.

The turnsignals? The whole BIKE was shaking! It was so sad! The fairing, seat, tail pieces, turn signals, handlebars; EVERYTHING.

It's like his bike was having a seizure.

Looks like the road does not require high-speed driving... but
If I had to do a trip like that, I'd go for a 17-teeth sprocket.

It's very cool to drive at 75MPH (120KPH) @ 5500rpm.

And fuel consumption reduction is noticeable too.

Here's a pretty good read about a guy who rode a DR650 to Alaska.
