The last days were really quite (un) beautiful and exciting, especially nerve-wrecking. The DHL package as we have picked up after 36 hours 'non-delivery' themselves (with a car) in Puerto Montt and actually pays another 50 € for the customs. If we had not called regularly at DHL Chile, we would probably still waiting, for they would deliver the package until the 50 € are paid, they told us at some point with time. The part was installed then almost instantly and we had at least one bike that we could go. After many phone calls and false promises, a mechanic could still overcome to bring Steffens motorcycle to Osorno and the following day to see the damage.
We packed our luggage into the car and looked for a place to live in Osorno. (Then we drove the rental car back to Puerto Varas drive around with my bike back to Osorno, all right ?;-)?)
The ball bearing from the shaft drive motorcycle presented to Steffens in individual parts. The devastating information from BMW Chile: a cost of over U.S. $ 200 and no, they had nothing in stock, we have to expect 2 weeks waiting time .... Pure stress, not only for Steffen .... Juan, the mechanic (a graying older man) who has obviously some idea of engines (it patches the tractors, jet skis, boats, etc.) provided - as well as Steffen - a possibility the ball bearings after a service of Osorno matching part searching. Amazed and surprised we were able to determine that the operator of this business idea really had (and Juan knew very well ... what happened here in Chile very helpful). He promised us tomorrow at 8 clock are all the parts (bearings and seals) ready for collection. Although we did not really really mind, after what we had already seen everything. But let the stress of something.
morning then again in the workshop, the parts were actually there and the installation went exceptionally smoothly from Amsterdam. During the test drive it was raining Steffen an animal. The slightly more in the afternoon to test drive a lovingly made Auto Museum was 'unremarkable'. So we hope that we can then easily travel soon ... * * Jupii
