Hi Paddy

We just missed you, we're in Colombia.

Did you managed to sort out the Aprillia after the electric problem in Guatemala?

Hey Johan!
How's it going? How's Charmaine?
The electrical problem recurs every 4 weeks or so for a day. I pull the loom apart and don't find anything, then put it back on the bike and she's fine for a month!
The new rear shock collapsed though, and strangely they aren't replying to my emails this time! Hey ho! How's the BM?
Ride safe and enjoy Columbia
Paddy

Charmaine's fine
The GS had an oil leak on the rear dif (Shaft), no big deal. It was replaced by the dealer here. Olso got new tires and is now ready for the long haul down to TDF before it starts to snow in June/July.

We met 3 bikers in Cartegena that is on their way to Panama city. Their boat left friday, and they should be in PC on monday. It is a German on a Virago 535, a Portugese on a Transalp and a guy from Spain on a Harley Davidson. Nice guys, I'll PM you a mail contact to hook up with them.

Hope to see you again on the road in the future.

Johan
