I was walking through town and saw a covered motorbike. Now that’s the smell of the western world. Although I don’t usually cover my bike, many overlanders do. And it’s a good thing, because if you don’t cover it, you’ll find locals sitting on the bike playing with all the switches buttons and levers. That’s just because a European bike is like an UFO to them. I can relate to it, because I grew up in Eastern Germany and know how it feels to see a shiny Western car or bike, parked on the street.
Anyway, I left a note and sure enough, Sam an Englishman emailed back and we met up for dinner:) Great!
