Stop in for a cup of coffee

-
So most of you know the story behind my motorbike here in Vietnam. The family had it for a while, and when I got here and got on it it had two flat tires and didn't sound right. Had no oil in it.:mob:So you all know I took it to the dealer and had new tires. Oil changed all the filters etc etc. I rode it for about 4 weeks and I noticed a squealing noise in the rear. I think it's belt driven. So I took it back to the dealer the other day for them to look at it. It was low on oil again. :mob: I guess now since they ran it low on oil is going to use oil.:mob: Anyhow, they changed the oil, and put a new belt on it and a new clutch
and a new oil seal that was leaking into the clutch area. I knew something was wrong. Anyhow, they only made me wait about 35 minutes to do all the work. Oil change new, oil seal new clutch. New drive belt. Cleaned it all up. I was there about 40 minutes .The bill was $1.1 million dong. Right about $44 USD. Cannot believe how cheaply these people work in Vietnam. The last pic is the service manager. I tipped him 50,000 dong. That's about two bucks. He was very happy. Didn't want to take the money But the bike is fine now.

I don't have any trouble sleeping here through the night since I always get up at 4:00 a.m. in the morning. I usually have to force myself to go to sleep by 9:00 or so so I can get enough sleep

Geez Mitch. You just walk around the Village tossing your dong to just about anyone.
 
Morning all nice video Mitch he does like the water. Now they'll have to watch him like a hawk when he starts running around.
