After replacing or fixing many broken/ worn/ missing/ cracked/ bent/ corroded/ burnt/ leaking/ uneven parts, our bike is now almost ready for new adventures.
Special thanks go to my father, who dealt with most of the problems!
The long recovery
| During the winter, Palomina is going through a long recovery process. My father took it apart and found some broken plastic items and red mud everywhere. That, of course, in addition to bearings, suspension seals and the worn chain kit. Cleaning the bike is not an easy job, as the mud is virtually everywhere. Seeing these pictures, I am now wondering how did the cooling system still work. |

| Nevertheless, no major problems have been found, and Palomina, despite the being almost 54,000 km old, looks eager for the upcoming trips. |

Horea is next
Today I said goodbye to my friend Horea who left on a 8000 miles (planned) journey across USA. More about this on his blog.
Let’s wish him a pleasant ride!
