I went to the dealers today to take some pictures of my bike, pay my respects etc.
It is having the quickshifter fitted.
They have been busy and told me it could be ready for pick up today at 17:00, but I said I was in no rush, so Monday or Tues would be fine...I asked them about delivery, because it is a bit awkward for me to get a bus etc. (One bus a week from here and it takes 4 hours to get to the dealer!)
Then they told me that are closed until next Thursday! Holidays, religious festival locally...But the owner and his wife said they could drop it off on Wednesday, as they are around and will probably be riding...So can bring it over.
Brilliant, turns out they like curry, so I am going to cook them a monster curry, weather set to be 29c, so outside curry munching and delivery of a new bike
I do like the way things here just happen, evolve...Time is another thing altogether and it pays to dispense with it...It means nothing to anyone!
I reckon the Brits who go back, do so because they can not get into the relaxed way of life here...I expect to not get the bike Wednesday, but the end of next week
Here it is being worked on furiously
