Mental motorbike, and another breakdown


What was this guy thinking when he modded his bike??? It looks desperately uncomfortable to ride. So absorbed was I in the nutty moterbike I didn't notice that my truck was running very low on compressed air. After a couple of hours headscrathing and spanner wielding I discovered a blown head gasket on the air compressor, and guess what we didn't have a spare gasket for? The following day I made my way into Izmir to the Scania workshop, only to be told that they didn't have one either. Luckily though, I eventually found a replacement part in a tiny little shed in the shady part of town and we were soon up and running again.
