DAY SIXTEEN

230km? 7hours. Another broken bolt, a large piece of plastic including the tail light and turn signals fell off, and the 3 day old clutch cable broke. Very beautiful ride again. High mountains pine forest and alpine meadows makes me wish we had a tent and were hiking. Back in Li Tang now maybe for a few days. This is turning into more of a learn how to fix Zong Shen motorcycles with no parts class or watch your motorcycle fall apart while you ride it nightmare rather than a journey through the Tibetian highlands of Si Chuan and Yun Nan trip. What will break tomorrow? Bets are open. Saw marmot and pica like creatures today... not sure what they were because I didn't know China had either. Had amazing Tibetian dumplings and soup tonight, stuffed ourselves for less than Chinese food would have cost.
