Anchorage police investigate road rage incident ANCHORAGE — Motorcycle Awareness Month in Alaska is getting off to a high-profile start.Anchorage police are investigating a weekend road-rage incident in which a pickup driver crowded motorcycle drivers on their way to a “blessing of the bikes” ceremony, part of the official kickoff to riding season. At high speed the truck passed one bike on the road shoulder and veered around another.The incident was captured on video by a helmet camera. A half-dozen bikers confronted the pickup driver at a stop sign, and after a brief physical altercation, the driver took off through a red light.Videos of the incident were posted on social media. So was a home address, where bikers were encouraged to confront the pickup driver. However, police say residents of the home were not involved and are feeling threatened.A motorcycle safety group, Alaska Bikers Advocating Training and Education, or ABATE, has sponsored motorcycle training classes since 1991 and each year sponsors the Bike Blessing and The Gathering on the Anchorage Park Strip.

ABATE board chairman “Big Dave Grizzly” Monroe said Monday he watched the videos and was expecting phone calls.“I think there’s a lot of blame to go around,” he said.The pickup driver called police to report bikers had broken his side-view mirror.Monroe said he was not speaking for ABATE and that he had no information beyond what was shown in videos.The video shows nearly two dozen motorcycles near the pickup. Some motorcycles drove side-by-side in one lane. The group occupied multiple lanes of A Street, which is not illegal, Monroe said.“If it was cars doing that, nobody would say a word,” he said.The motorcycles, he said, may have prevented cars from passing. The truck, he said, took the situation to another level of risk.“What they did was annoying and frustrating,” he said of the bikers. “What the truck did was dangerous.”He said he hoped friends of the motorcyclists would speak to them and advise them about riding etiquette. In the confrontation at the stoplight, the pickup driver appeared to grab the helmet of one of the motorcyclists, he said.

The video recorded violations by drivers on both sides, police said. No citations have been issued, said police spokeswoman Renee Oistad in an email. Police have the name of the pickup driver but are not releasing it. They don’t know names of the motorcycle drivers, she said.She was not aware, she said, of anyone going to the address posted with the video. motorcycle workshop tools malaysiaShe had not heard of threats made to anyone living there.“michigan state motorcycle helmet lawsJust the online threat of calling for people to go to the address and retaliate against the truck driver,” she wrote.--Related stories:Juneau grand jury indicts driver in high-speed chase from Lemon Creek to North DouglasReckless driver evades police, drives through ballparkJuneau woman honored for helping in fight against heroin in capital cityharley davidson motorcycles for sale tampa

In some kind of monkey bike-induced lunacy, he left Portland earlier this summer and headed north. Two weeks later, he rolled into Alaska. It'll take twice as long for his ass and knees to recover, so he had time for some questions. One of his answers: fanny pack. Rogers left his hometown of Portland, traveling through Oregon and Washington, British Columbia and finally ending in Anchorage, Alaska 3,000 miles and 12 days (plus two days to rest) later. I caught up with him after the trip to see why he did it, how he did it, and precisely how many braincells you have sacrifice to do something this wonderfully warped. But first, the obvious question: Why Grom?

"Ever since I bought the Grom about a year ago, I have completely fallen in love with it," Rogers told me. "I bought it exclusively for city riding since my other motorcycle prefers the highway. But before long, I found myself further and further from home on the Grom, taking it on all day adventures into the mountains or out to the coast." Rogers had planned the trip to Alaska for a while, and when the time came, there was something sadistically compelling about taking the 125cc Honda on the trip. "It was something new and exciting and a welcome change from blasting down the highway on a motorcycle with an engine over 10 times the size of the Grom's," he says. "Don't get me wrong, I love big engines and going fast, but the Grom offers a unique riding experience." That unique experience wasn't without its challenges. A trip that long, with that many climate and elevations changes would be tough on a dual-sport, but on a glorified pocket bike? "The biggest challenge was keeping my focus during the last part of the day," Rogers says.

"After 10 hours of riding I was tired, both physically and mentally. On the Grom it was more physical than I had previously experienced. The distraction of thinking about getting to camp or a comfortable hotel room was enough to cloud my judgement and I had to work hard to overcome that." Aside from the physical, mental, and environmental strain (also bears), there was the obvious issue of gear. It's not like there's a big market for Grom saddlebags, so Rogers grabbed a milk crate and some bungee ties, along with a few bags, and stuffed it all to the gills. He managed cram a tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, tarp, butane stove, a pan, a trowel, a spare fuel can, a first aid kit, a small tool kit, a quart of oil, and a few bottles of water on board. That didn't leave much room for anything else, so enter everyone's favorite German tourist accessory. "Since the Grom can't really fit any tank bag I could find I decided on using a fanny pack," Rogers admits. "I know they aren't really 'in' but having my maps, wallet, phone and documents for border crossings in one place made everything so much easier.
