the stevedores on the ferry have turned Yami threw: windshield (again), and GPS holders are destroyed. The shipping company will determine the prices for the spare parts, then pay (maybe). My heart no good.

On the ferry the drinks are about twice as much cost, so we are already in the supermarket. Somehow the additional charge also on the motorcycle.

Puerto Montt, Chile
Martin takes a break. I go to Puerto Varas , then to the island of Chiloe .
Puerto Varas could be in Germany.
The small wooden churches on the island should be the assembled without a nail.
In Castro I try Curanto. The local, rustic specialty consists of mussels, abalone, pork, coarse sausage and potatoes cooked in a bed of hay, said in a Erdfeuer. Together with a cup of dry white wine, I enjoyed the exotic dish. The host is an unobtrusive way curious and talkative. We talk during of eating all the time. He is a pleasant interlocutor. His wife, however, rattles like a machine gun I hardly understand a word of it. Too bad she has kind eyes and a mischievous smile, intended plenty of humor.

On the road again! Martin from Innsbruck, according to his Transalp and I do together south, take the first time to Santiago. His clutch shows weaknesses. In the Avenida Lira Motorradlaeden there are plenty, but not for Honda. We are just around the corner. The matching clutch discs they have not. Tomorrow we could pick up, says the friendly Boss. The Honda Center would only sell to dealers. Taxi courier? That works too. An hour later we have the parts for a total of 65 U.S. $. Marco Lopez Valpo have wanted for $ 80, and we would have had to wait another day. He referred me to the Karoo tires from Metzeler. From 110, the pace Yami lurches and rocks on the road to dangerous. This does not change even after the other and with different Gepaeckverteilung Reifendruecken. The tire is not made for the road. make the front wheel bearing noise exchanged by him. The guy I could connect anywhere. Bikers come from, you Valpo after a large curve to make Marco Lopez's store. The next 1,000 km of asphalt I will get behind me. After that it should only noch Schotter geben. Hoffentlich taugen die Reifen wenigstens dafuer.
Kurz nach Santiago bekommt Yami ploetzlich Husten. Erst Zuendaussetzer, dann ist der Motor ganz aus. Der Anlasser geht auch nicht mehr. Dann die Erleuchtung: Leerlaufgang einlegen, und siehe da, Motor laeuft wieder. Wackeln am Seitenstaenderschalterkabel bestaetigt die Diagnose. Kabelbruch in der Naehe des Schalters an einer Durchfuehrung. Die Reparatur ist kein Hexenwerk, weiter geht's.

The mechanic approved promptly and free of charge a new tube installed in the front wheel and directed the dent in the rim. Everything OK.
