So after fixing the clutch and a little test trip to the train Grave yard, I was back on the road.

Cheers, David

Interesting start to the day. Found a missing bridge on a mountainous back route near Banos, Ecuador. Which involved a nerve racking traverse of the new land bridge the diggers had built. But the...
