North east USA to Alaska shipping
 

Does anyone know any way to ship to Alaska from any point in the north east US (maine, Mass, NY, Vermont)that will not break the bank. i have gotten a few quotes from shippers and are all from $3000 and up.

Crazy little problem you have there. :)

Is it possible to fly from the northeast ? It's about $2300 to fly a bike from the US to Europe.

To drive from Boston to Anchorage . . . ~4600 miles. At 25MPG with a pickup . .. it's about $800 just for fuel. 5 days ? And the pickup needs to come back ! $3000 doesn't seem like a lot unless you don't value time (yours) or mechanical wear on your vehicle.

It's not a bad drive if you take your time. I rode from DC to Inuvik in '93. Parts are absolutely fantastic and in fact better than alot of Alaska. (The Yukon should not be missed.)

That's a helluva long way to ship a bike by boat.

I'd agree, make the time to ride it. Some of the best parts are on the way up to AK. Leave the bike in AK lots of folks up there will help ya.
