Oil leaks, tunnels & timely reminders
- - -
A late start today.
We were just about to leave when John noticed oul dripping from his BMW, so some investigation was necessary. Despite a couple of hours work, the leak couldn't be cured cured but he judged it ok to travel.
The hotel thoughtfully brought some drinks out for us whilst we waited. 'Tiger Power' for a Tiger!
And then we were off, back up the mountain & into the nice cool air.
Of course where ther are mountains in china, there are usually tunnels ..
. Dont go into the light, Russ!!
A petrol stop brought the usual inquisative locals to see what these mas foreigners in big bikes were doing. There are usually 3 questions,
Where are you from?
Where are you going?
How much is the bike?
Then a lot of thumbs up and selfies!
These young kids were interested in my helmet camera.

Back on the road and going over a bridge, I noticed a 'road safety' measure in the form of a kerb between the fast lane and the slow lane, not seen that one before!
Yet still further on there was a timely reminder of the risks that go with the crazy driving you see a lot in china. Classic manoevers include; - Overtaking on blind bends - Overtaking when you can clearly see something coming the otherway.
Sometimes it doesnt work out!
