How did this happend? We successfully escaped northern influenza season, but now the rider is suffering from terrible flu in here. This is not what we agreed of, but no can do. With some tea and sympathy covered with extra C-vitamin portions he'll hopefully get better soon.
At the meantime the assistant has been sightseeing surroundings, this time with bike (mental note: bring a camera, also when going just for a quick bike tour). It was interesting to discover that it is possible to ride 45 minutes uphill and then be back at the starting point in 15 minutes with help of downhill. Also the rider conquered some mountain paths before getting ill. If you are not afraid of hights, you can check the link below...
This morning we once again spent some hours in locat repair garage. This time it was Fiat service place and our aim was to get the yellow "check the engine" light to turn out. Unfortunately the first optimistic mechanic ("this only needs an update from the internet") was not able to make the light desappear after all. Apparently they would need more time to dive deeper into the problem (and there should not be the siesta time just starting), so we decided to go back some other day with better time.
We had agreed to visit Antonio's garage after siesta, but as it was still a bit early, we decided to take a tea break on a large and flat parking place of local shopping center. It turned out that they are very popular among the caravan owners. It was almost as we were on a camping site... While the rider was resting
the assistant also managed to take a quick sneak into a shopping center itself.
With Antonios help Kawasaki got more oil to it's front fork, which should make compression damping more progressive. Solutions to softness of KTM's suspension are still under consideration. At least now one moto is ready when the rider recovers and gets back to the saddle.
