California plate?

He didnt know a word of english and i didnt know a word of german but we still talked for 20 times.

he couldnt believe that i actually rode from San Francisco to here so he gave me his camera to take a picture of him n the bike.
you dont get people wanting to pose with your bike everyday haha so i snapped one for myself too

 

[khan]

the guy there quickly came took everything apart and started the work

hes on ittt....

After welding the bracket he put it back up but the brake wasnt working. It was locked and the bike just wont move.

so i came back to the honda dealer to find they are already closed. i asked the manager to just check whats wrong, he comes out, looks at the rear set/brake for 30 seconds, goes back inside and comes back with a bunch of tools.

he works on my bike for 30 mins when he was about to shut down and leave his shop. i ask him how much i owe him and he replies its a gift from Switzerland. i smile from ear to ear. i hug him thank him and i start to put my helmet on, when suddenly he comes out with a honda cap, a honda t-shirt and a store sticker. and says "here is a gift from us"

ohh mannnn i didnt know what to say

These people are so damn friendly its unbelievable

i stopped at a gas station and i see my name????

This guyyyy!!!!

stopped to ask for some directions, and he decides to escort me there himself.

see the sky?? its still pretty sunny

and now its dark. yes this guy rode with me for more than an hour. Amazing friends i make everyday.

i stopped to ask if there is a place i can pitch my tent around here in Muster. They called around to check and found me a place.
These cool people and i shared storied for like half an hour haha wonderful. i gave them my facebook. hopefully they'll comment here.
