Heading up the Dempster in June. Does anyone have information on where you can change tires in Dawson City? Can you ship the tires ahead and have them changed when you arrive?
Thanks
 
Thanks, please forgive my ignorance but what does PM mean?

Flat on the Cassiar

I was traveling with two buddies on our BMWs up the Cassiar Highway from Prince Rupert to Alaska in 2004 and we were stopped at a turnout. A semi truck headed the other way spotted us and pulled over. He told us that a motorcycle was 5 miles up the road with a flat tire, so we hopped on the bikes and zipped off. Now, this was a particularly barren stretch, perhaps more than 100 miles from the next gas station. Sure enough, there was a fellow sitting beside his loaded GS, looking forlorn. He had hit a larger rock on a short gravel stretch and the tire had the bead broken and separated from the rim. As we pulled up and I got off the bike, reached in my pannier and the first thing I said was "I hope you appreciate that we have been riding from New Mexico just to bring you this can of Fix-a-Flat!" We got the bike up on the center stand and I pulled out my length of 3/8" line with loops at each end. We wrapped it completely around the tire and twisted it like a tourniquet with a screwdriver, setting the bead of the tire against the rim. Then, I filled it with the Fix-a-Flat, topping it off with a pump. All the while, the fellow just stood there speechless and dumbfounded. Soon, he was off again and said "Thanks guys!"
