Hey Yukon guys,
I have a question for you. I and two of my riding buddies are planning an adventure this summer to the Yukon, NW Territories and Alaska. I will be riding my Tenere all the way, but the two guys I’m riding with will be trailering their KLR’s. We would like to make Whitehorse our jumping off point for their ride.
I would have loved to make the Tenere Gathering in early July, but scheduling would not allow that. So we plan on getting to Whitehorse around July the 25th.
Now for the question – would any of you know a place we could store the tow vehicle and trailer for a couple of weeks while we tool around the great north? I’m sure Colorider can vouch for us. ::015::

Thanks for any help you can provide.
ST-Venture (aka Randy)

I don't have space in my yard or I would offer. Yukon Yamaha has a lot of unused space behind their shop and if you used them for any service and/or offered them something I am sure they would oblige. Jason is very generous and if you are doing any business with him he is even more so. If not, there are several storage yards that would keep your rig locked up and safe for a fee. Rem has a pretty big yard, but I don't want to offer for him :eek:.

what are your riding plans?

I'm sure I have room for you at my place. Your stuff will be safe here. We're out of town but have never had any problems, and I am alarmed OUTSIDE. Anyone comes up my driveway they set the alarm off. Contact me at hollywolly1@mac.com and we'll keep in contact. You're also welcome to my garage and decent assortment of tools, etc. Look forward to meeting you. R


ps ... If Colorider vouches for you, stay the hell away. ::025:: ::025:: ::014:: ::014:: ::015:: ::012::

Thanks for the replies troll and Rem.
Rem, I'll be in touch.
Top of the list is to ride out of Whitehorse and do the Canol Road, Campbell Highway, the Dempster and Dalton, if at all possible.
In addition, we'll try and see Haines and Skagway and whatever else we can get in in the 2 - 3 weeks we have allotted.

That I can! I've know Randy since "way back when" and had originally planned to ride this same trip, but the timing was such that I had to bail.

The one KLR in the group used to be mine.

Does that mean that your invite for me is been retracted?

;)

No, I'm feeling generous this year, but I'm keeping your deposit regardless. ::025:: ::025:: R

I depart exactly one month from today to fetch my BLACK SUPER TENERE back home again. Aw, maaaaannnnn. Sure have missed old boy. Looking fard to it. Camshaft has been looking after him, but I heard a rumour that he sold him to some gypsies. I can't confirm .... I knew you'd want to know this. R ::014::

If you don't have excess space Rem they can leave it in my compound at Icycle Sport Locked, secure ?? & downtown.
Thanks for the offer. Looks like either Rem or you will be able to keep our vehicle and trailer safe while we ride around the great NW.
We will shoot you both an email or PM before we take off from Colorado.

Thanks again.
Randy

That's a good offer from Pat. You guys can check us both out and take your pick. Now THAT'S Canadian hospitality. R ::003::

If you are coming up through Edmonton, I have a place for all y'all to stay. ::003::

Dave,
The plan as of now is to go through Edmonton, but I don't know if you want to put up the 3 of us for the night.
Although we could possibly pitch our tents - maybe...

I have a good sized house with a spare room or two with a very large fenced yard, and a very understanding wife. You would be in the safest place in Canada - i have two big german shepherds, and the house is on one of our larger bases in the country housing one of our three combat brigades....which I will be commanding by then! I will be visiting an exercise in Hawaii from 20-24 July, but am otherwise available to host - and if you arrive while I am gone, the backyard is still available - my next door neighbour is my riding buddy. Just let me know.

Dave

Well, we are 8 days from heading to the great NW. We should be in Whitehorse on the 24th. Rem and phplemel, I sent PM to you.
I'm looking forward to meeting you all.

Dave, At this time it looks we will be trying to get further west of Edmonton before stopping for the night on Sunday, July 22. Thanks for the offer.
