These three champs were homelessman drunk at noon and had nothing to do with the bike we were buying, but you couldn't keep them away from all the action. Everyone in Mongolia wants to help out. Drunk or sober, everybody we met was pretty good at getting shit done. I miss these guys so much whenever the methadone crew up the block from me tries giving me advice on my Triumph. One guy even asked me if he could buy it off me on a payment plan. I didn't even know how to respond to that one.
Swapping out the front brake for a "new" one. 45 minutes later, same difference, my first lesson on drum brakes.
roll the dice. We were lucky enough to have a translator, but in the end it didn't matter much. Just buy the red Russian kind, it's the bike everybody has in the countryside and parts are pretty easy to come across. We had two flat tires, and our forks blow out on us and we were never held up longer than half a day. We are also extremely lucky.
