Roberto the Triumph Dealer, whom I got the bike off , he took me for a ride to Quetzaltenango (approx 200kms North of Guate city ).
What a great ride it was there , great weather and perfect temp , with fantastic views. We stopped on the way for breakfast . We arrived in Quetz had a look around and headed back . About 20km out of Quetz it started to rain , as I have said before , when it rains hell it rains . So the trip home was very slow and wet , the roads are very slippery from all the diesel on the roads from the bus and trucks (I guess) . I had a couple of slips but da Tiger came through with a roar .
The bike has done the 1000kms now for the first service and at the moment in in a cafe waiting to get it back .
On our way back from Quetz we run into a Canadian couple (they both had BMW 650s) going to Panajachel (they are going down to Ushuaia) . We heard yesterday that they both dropped there bikes and were robbed in Panajachel the next day ( poor little buggers ah !!) .
Quetz is in valley about 3000mts above sea level

So now Im ready to move on and should be on the road in the next 2 days I hope , heading for El Salvador
