Sunrise over Loon Bay, not that great the sky was too clear. Nice morning but got a little rain in the afternoon. I took a walk up the street to get my morning coffee while Cheryl slept in. We really had no plans today except to ride and explore a bit, and we did.…
Mileage not even worth counting today. We literally road from 100 Mile House to Loon Bay which was only about 50 KM? We changed our plans once again after we got on the road. Decided to hang out in this area for 2 nights for a little vacation from our vacation. Transitioning back in to…
August 8th, 2011 Where we might stay for 2 nights vacationing and drinking beer.
August 7th 2011 Got down to zero Celsius last night and when we stopped for the day today we noticed a can a beer Cheryl was carrying in her pannier leaked. Yep, not a good idea in the luggage but in any case we did and beer got all over her sleeping bag, pillow, a…
August 5th 2011 Cheryl’s brake pads. (click for larger pics) UPDATE: When I look back at the brake pads it is rather clear to me now that when we first started out on this trip both bikes rear tires were installed out of alignment. We did not know this until we got to Dawson City. …
Having a hard time find good WiFi to upload any updates. Hopefully later today we can find a spot. In Well, BC for the night, going to Barkerville for a few hours in the morning and then heading South.
August 5th 2011 Wrong 525 chain too short. The Tiger needs at least a 122 and got in 120’s. No one has stock. Trying to work something out not looking good. Got a Harley dealer in Smithers and tighten the chains and that’s it. No more room to grow but should get us home. Thought…
Hope to get our new chains installed today and might as well put on the rear brake pads we have been carrying with us. Fronts look good and sprockets good enough to get the bikes back to Triumph soon. There ia sun in the sky after a wet day in Terrace yesterday. Really hope we…
August 3rd 2011 The truck behind us we will the call the obnoxious campers. The had so many sites to pick and they park right behind us. They were also rude about it and we think they arrived late and left early to avoid paying to boot. Before we left Stewart I added about 1/2…
August 2nd 2011 The night was really cold for some reason. The battery went dead in my temperature device so we don’t know for sure what it was. Felt like around 2 or 3. A wet chill was in the air and that didn’t make for too comfortable sleeping. Cheryl especially was cold because she…
August 1st 2011 Cheryl’s favourite thing about finding lodging that has WiFi is that Leslie occupies herself with the computer stuff in the morning and lets Cheryl SLEEP! It’s a win/win for both of us! Of course, the great thing about Leslie being an early riser is that she is able to capture photos of…
