Riding to Alaska

April 2, 2011 by Scooter in the Sticks 14 Comments

PICTURE COURTESY MOTOQUEST

Admit it — you dream of riding to Alaska. The isolation, solitude and wilderness haunt your dreams. One hundred miles of gravel after lunch just means dinner will taste all the better. Even if it comes from a can cooked over a small fire along the road.

You can sample a taste of this life on Wednesday evening, April 6, at 7pm in the Outreach Building at Penn State. Kissell Motorsports in conjunction with coolBLUE has brought Brenden Anders from MotoQuest to town to give a presentation on the riding opportunities they offer around the world and answer any questions you might have.

REGISTER FOR THIS FREE EVENT.

PICTURE COURTESY MOTOQUEST

This is Brenden Anders and he’s doing what I wish I had the good sense to do when I was 23. Looking at that pretty Kawasaki KLR650 reminds me that Kissell Motorsports has a similar one in their showroom. Actually it belonged to a friend of mine, a fellow photographer at Penn State. But I digress…

I’m anxious to listen to the experiences Brenden has had on the road and how a MotoQuest tour might fit into my future. A look at their website reveals a wide range of opportunities for just about any riding taste. I’m still trying to picture a Vespa in Alaska.

Even if you can’t make it to the event visit the MotoQuest site and register in their drawing for an Alaska trip.

A guy can dream right??
