click here to see a picture of the bike I`M going to use for my trip around the island.
It`s still about till departure, 12dec, but anyway, here`s a pciture of my ride. That`s my father sitting there grinning :)
At the moment, the startclutch is broken, but I have ordered a new one, and sure hope it`ll be here before I leave.
These are some pictures and a story from my trip, not to, but towards Bekopaka in western madagascar.My departure town was morondava, on the west-coast of madagascar. From there I rode 110km north to the city of Tsymafana (not hot) wich was indeed very hot as the rest of coastal madagascar. There I had to put the bike on a boat to cross the river Tsiribihina wich takes aprox 40minutes, and enter the town of Belo sur Tsiribihina.
as for now, Im sitting in Antsirabe, waiting for my bike to be repaired, and I have done so for three days. The entire electrical system on the bike has over the years been fixed several times with what local people here call the Vita Gasy way. In other words, you dont get new parts, you make parts with what youve already got. Ive had enough problems, so I decided it was time to fix it. So almost the entire electrical system is now beeing changed, at a cost of the parts, and about 30 euro in labour.. Great. So I hope everything is going to be sorted out now.
i left the country. thought i would post some more pictures.
Here are a few pictures to show how some of the roads are. Nice on a bike. And it never ends.
We dont use the bridge untill the water is coming. It wears...
This is what my "oil-filter" looked like when we opened the engine case...
And a lot of rubbish here..
