One of my favorite stories I've had the chance to write in recent years is when I took a Harley-Davidson down to Gunnison, Utah, the home of Christensen Arms, and built my own hunting rifle from the ground up. It was an American motorcycle used to build an American rifle, and after I was done, having run a few rounds through its barrel to make sure everything was kosher, I strapped it to my back and rode back home with it on my back.
I still pinch myself that I got to do it. And I'm finally heading out next week to break the rifle in for a future story. None of that, however, could've happened without EagleRider, the motorcycle rental company, as it was the one that supplied the Harley for the trek.
Recently, however, EagleRider announced the dates of its 2026 guided tour of Alaska, on the back of Harley-Davidson's awesome Pan America adventure motorcycle. But given my history with the company, my yearning for adventure, and the thought of the company operating in one of the last great frontiers, a thought crossed my mind. A silly thought. A wild thought. An insanely fun thought that will assuredly make for a hysterical story, at least if I can figure out some of the details.
