We reached Urumqi in 3hours, straight...We knows we will get stuck in town for at least 1 week, so as soon as we arrived as soon we when leave....But we we wrong...Today is May8th and Nicolas starter did not arrived yet...Thanks to the professionalism of Laposte and their Colissimo :(((((
We got one address for mechanical shop and we went right away..The guy was nice but not able to fix our problems...So he gave us another address. The shop of Lei Ze is not as expected, small, crappy with lots spare parts every where, but we know he is one of the 5 guys in Xinjiang able to fix imported bikes. So we will give him 100% confidence.
Problems list :
Kawasaki : New starter to set up. Back suspension too soft ( need to add some extra block to avoid damage his suspension when roads are bad). His coolant leaking need to be fixed and usual stuff, oil filer, air filter, oil and so on...
Benelli : Front suspension broken ( Need to change the join + add better oil to get better shock absorption). Back suspension leaking and same air, oil filter, DOT 4 break liquid to be replaced...
Thats our last chance to fixe our bikes properly before the unknown... No more taobao, no more kuaidi...So its here of never to make big surgeries...
We also went to the benelli shop and we had a very warm welcome...piano accordion, saxophone, kebabs, Wusu beer and Baijiu of course...Yeahhhh we were drunk..At least myself, as i have to drink Nicolas`s baijiu. 1st night in Urumqi done....
Since May 2nd , our schedule looks like this :
9am : Wake up
10am : Lei Ze shop
11am : wait for Lei Ze to arrive
12am : wait for Lei ze to arrive
1pm: finally start to work on our bike
7-8pm : back to hotel, shower, change clothes, go out for some BBQ (lamb of course)
One of the night with Greg (do you remember the winemaker of Loulan winery) we went for a Kazack show diner....That was awesome...Performance were greaaaaat
One more things about Lei Ze, he was DJ before but he has more fun with the piston than the vinyls. He learned to fix big bikes by him self - respect man !
Today, my Benelli is fixed (except one of the suspension but no choice, cannot replace it)but we are still waiting for Nicolas collision with the starter of the Kawa...Laposte, please send it ASAP...Merci
