Hi there,

I'm planning the same thing, although I doubt it will be until 2009.  Have a look at ADVrider.com  There are plenty of Alaska trip reports to go over, as well as lots of advice.

What are you planning to ride?

As mentioned, go to ADVRider, there's a ton of posts on it. Just search on "Alaska".  Especially check out the "Hoon on the Loose" thread.
Go the the bookstore and buy the "MilePost", it's the bible for NW Canada and Alaska travel.
There's also a short but informative post on the V-Strom forum at:
