DAY 14: Today we rode for 588km... Well, after 14,000km it finally happened... Today I had my first breakdown. I'm not sure how it happened, probably a rock hit it or something, but while going 130 km/h, my scooter started to smoke. I stopped right away and noticed that my oil filter was almost cracked in half and I lost all my oil :( I had to get it towed and luckily it was fixed :) Just a new oil filter and and some oil and I was good to go. We lost lots of time today but still managed to put on some good driving numbers :)
