my trip to ohrid had one small flaw..my bike had a sputtering problem….it was similar to the time at the very beginning of the trip when my CDI went bad…there where also two occasions when starting the bike that the engine ran very sluggish and the tach showed no rpms….i thought that the CDI was bad again…that would suck…but the map showed that thessolonikki was only 255km away….not exactly close…but an easy days drive…the decision was made…i made a quick call to confirm that nino was indeed at the shop and not on vacation…he turned out not to be in the shop when i called but he was in town!!!!....i rode to thessolonikki…..arriving at 6pm…the look on nino’s face was priceless….he was shocked and delighted to see me…we caught up on the trip and i told him what was up with the bike….he didn’t think that it could be the CDI…so he checked the regulator…it was fine…..then we talked a bit…we figured that the one i had replaced was good…should be good til the bike dies….but the other one…yes there are two…could be an original and that might be failing….i bought the CDI to have just in case….then i also got my odometer fixed!!!!! yeah i can track my kms again…..super cool…then i ask about selling the bike…on our first pass thru so many people had expressed interest in the bike and i’m starting to think about what i will do when i return home, so i thought there maybe a potential to sell the bike in greece …the verdict was not to bother trying to sell it in greece!!!!......then the clincher…i was headed out…a car caught me by surprise…i hit my break hard…stopped but lost my balance and dropped the bike….nino was right there…help me pick it up…i had broken the right mirror…nino walked into his shop and came out with a replacement…put it on and sent me on my way….nino’s the man….thanks again nino….nino’s techno shop…in thessolonikki, greece….go….there…just to say hi…he’s so cool….....and on i went…back to macedonia….not 255km…just directly north…80kms and i was at my campsite…..
