I left Coban and headed for lago de Atitilan, I hit what has to be the worst stretch of road so far. The road was non existant in places and land slides had taken it away in others. The bike started behaving badly, it was like trying to ride a snake, it would not go in a straight line and was worse after bumps. I eventualy stopped and found that one of the bolts that hold the frame together had broken, so I balanced the bike on some boulders and manouvered it back into place. I then griped it together with a vicegrip and ductape, it has held so far, will fix it properly in the morning before heading to Mexico. Didn’t see much of the lake or volcanoes as the cloud and fog was down. so I moved on. Fortunately no big night last night so all is good . More later. Adios
Are you sure it wasn’t the added weight of your Beer boop, which over stressed your bike. Hope the repairs go well.
Remember not to kiss any pigs in Mexico unless you’re wearing a mask!
Sounds like you’re having a blast – I agree with Ian – bring plenty of pics!
Enjoy, mate – I shoud be back in Tzaneen by the time you get back
