Road Karma and Improv Parts


I forget who mentioned it one time but a friend of mine (Duck-Stew i believe it was you?) said something about Road Karma. Something to the effect wherever you break down, that's where you were meant to break down and the road will help you out. Whether the part that you need is laying on the side of the road or you just stopped in front of the only mechanic in town.

Yup...  It was me!  I've been on the side of the road and looked down too many times to find *just* what I needed to fix the problem, or broke down in front of someone's house who was very helpful...  Yeah, it's Road-Karma baby.

That's the GOOD road karma.  If I were you I wouldn't travel anywhere with HeMan.........

El Matador is worse. It rains on him.

That's a good plan, I suspect that at some point there will be a blast radius involved.

It's faster now.

Of course it is...

and it looks marvelous

Yeah i only had the blue one for a couple of days, there was a leak at one of the welds so i took it back and this is all they had. As long as it doesn't leak its fine with me.

I dont think anything could the bike faster, but it has been a great dirtbike.

Coconut or beer, hmmm?

When I requested boobie pics, this wasn't what I was lookin' for, mang.   

Ya look like you've lost some weight.  That's what a little bit of travel Ebola will do for ya. 

You finding folks to travel with along the way?  I've always managed to hook up with people for a week or two when traveling, but imagine that'd be much harder on a bike.

I haven't really had any problems in the plumbing department. I think its mostly unprocessed foods and not much snacking at all. Its the same price to buy a meal as a snickers bar. Eating the street food, rarely do i eat at an actual restaurant and haven't had a craving for "western" food. But yeah probably dropped about 10 lbs within the first few weeks.

Usually ill meet other travelers and got site seeing for a day or so. Then for the getting around part im on my own. Most are going greater distances and faster than i can go by bike.

Awesome pics...those sunsets were beautiful.  Reminds me of when I was in Thailand (Songkla), Malaysia and a  little bit of Singapore.
