Thanks both.
@ Scuba: It looks like we're going with a slight variation of option 2. After having seen the Air Canada "Fly my bike" deal it looks like we're starting our trip in Calgary towards the end of July. Then whether or not we will go to Alaska we have not decided yet.
@ Daytona: One bike because even though my girlfriend got her license end of last year she does not have a lot of riding experience and does not feel comfortable to start off on a big trip just yet on her own bike. I myself could not picture doing it another way, hence the 2up. We've done trips together before, the longest being four weeks 2up on a thumper in Costa Rica, so we have a good picture of what we're in for.  We may get a second bike along the way if she changes her mind, we'll see!
