Ridden this route in the other direction so we got to see the backside of all the mountains this trip. Bruce's front wheel bearing failed and we parked the bike and Bruce at Haines Junction to await AAA. Our thinking is that Whitehorse at least has a motorcycle shop and a U-Haul dealer along with our hotel reservation.
People out here are self reliant, helpful, take care of each other types. The owner of the Dairy Queen like establishment in Haines Junction offer to go home and look for an old harley wheel bearing he thought he still had in his shed. He then offered to trailer the bike to the hotel and gave Bruce a phone book for Whitehorse along with his phone to use. So, in Whitehorse with Bruce maybe a truck Sunday to transport the bike, maybe not, we'll figure it out.

Nice to have a little more time being the tourist. I'm sure you've discovered there are lots of good people around. Only the not-so-good get the attention. There are much worse places you could have broken down, like in 110+ degrees. Safe travels. See you next week. xoxoxo
