Ketchikan-Harley-Davidson Tour-Worth the Money?

[5 in OK]

The Harley-Davidson Motorcycle tour is pretty pricey - over $250.00 per driver and over $100.00 for passengers. We're trying to decide if it's worth the cost - it seems pretty fun - but over $700.00 for a family of 4 for a 3 hour ride.:confused:

My husband did a 3 day Harley rental interior Alaska. Great with the hog discount. But Ketchikan has very limited roads, certainly scenic, only you can determine if this is worth it for you.

 

As a side, I have all the Alaska, Yukon Harley shirts. All ports now have shops as well as several interior areas. If going to Fairbanks- do consider the farthest north outpost. :)
