what shmike said, a normal rider going that far should keep it to BB status, so about 5.5 days. Trying to go for BBG+ status on a tank like the Buell he has is just retarded, you couldn't sleep at all for 84 hours and would need absolute perfect weather the entire trip.

Plus, don't forget you won't make regular time on the Haul Road between Prudhoe Bay and Fairbanks.

It is 510 miles. Normally, that is 7 hours on pavement. It will take you 13 hours on the Haul Road, if you are *lucky*.
