Amanda and I were in a bit of a dilemma on
whether we should attend my cousin’s wedding 2 weeks from now on July 10th. It didn’t take long for us to make a
decision; weddings are very special for the ones getting married and I’m sure
they’ll appreciate us being there. This
will mean it’s going to be a straight shot home to Toronto. I figure 14 days will give us enough time,
but we’re not used to riding on a fixed schedule so we’ll have to do a little
planning.
Yesterday we talked to mikeRD400 about
riding to Whitehorse together. We woke
up this morning, said our thanks and goodbyes to Walter, Tommy, and Hal; and
were back on the road again.
It was a smooth ride south to Whitehorse
and the weather couldn’t have been any better.
MikeRD400 giving his legs a break from sitting too long.
We grabbed dinner at the Real Canadian
Superstore and had a picnic in front of the SS Klondike once again. We managed to find a place to camp near the
spot we camped the last time we were here in Whitehorse. We stayed away from the mountain bike trail
this time.
The next morning we had planned to pick up
our KLR decals at the post office. We
ordered them back when we were in Fairbanks and had it shipped general delivery
here in Whitehorse. It’s Sunday today
and the post office is closed. This
meant we have to stay another night. The
three of us checked out a few souvenir shops before parting ways with
mikeRD400.
To kill time, we went to the library, did
an oil change, went to church, and hung out at the same spot we camped last
night.
The next morning we woke up and went to the
post office as soon as it opened to pick up our decals. I forget when I first saw these stickers, but
I found them to be hilarious and had to have one.
I went with green to stay true to
Kawasaki’s colors
Amanda went with blue to resemble more with
BMW’s crest
It’s funny how some people mistake our
bikes for BMW’s when it clearly reads Kawasaki underneath the decal.
Here’s a funny quote I found on a website
“These stickers will not cure male pattern baldness, increase your horsepower,
or fix your doohickey. Though the logo
style is reminiscent of some other logo (I forget which), these decals will not
cause your KLR to cost twice as much, nor will they make you break down twice
as often.”
