to be honest Kieth , when your in these back water type countries , all they know is these old engines , every small hamlet seems to have a guy who can fix and repair anything , they might never of seen a big single rotax before , but that type of engine and that sort of carb set up is second nature to them ,
turn up on a bmw tourer with dodgy electronics and your goofed ,
My engine i rebuilt myself , then spent a few months running around including doing the dragon on it, just to gain that confidence with it ,,

It's probably just as well I didn't get as far as Mick. I told him I was going to change his name to Ali Akbur as soon as we got off the ferry.

Here's a video of my miserable attempt at an adventure.
