These guys impressed me - though admittedly I'm easily impressed when it comes to mechanical aptitude. If you're out here and want the proverbial 2nd opnion - or first opinion in my case - look them up. They have a retail store, but their workshop is up in a block of garages in a residential suburb. Their labour rate I've since found out is not cheap-cheap (8000HUF/hr) but is still about a 1/3 (?) or what you'd pay in the UK for an hours work.

If I remember correctly, the biggest problem with his blue one is a knackered sprag clutch.
..... at least his Bronze one sounds like an easier fix ..... until he breaks down near those children with sticks and the rabid dogs .....

... leak was from the oil filter. They replaced the o-ring, and gave the rest of the bike a long-trip 'usual things' once over - tyres, chain etc. The things that I couldn't be buggered doing in 35 degrees.

Only 35C - Lucky you !
It's been nudging 40C in Italy the past few days ..... with the year we've had at home, we're just not acclimatised!
Safe journey home Kerry.

Thought the Don Estelle's belonged to our resident "Lofty" of the mille riding persuasion
