Notes from Kathmandu

[sam2019]

5th day and I am running out of interesting sites to see.
So I choose to visit a brand new RE showroom and lo and behold, they did have a full face that fit me, well, 90%, I hope it stretches a bit while wearing.

Had to pay cash, no cards, no gpay, no bullshit. I like it already!

That helmet cut 6300 NR from my budget, a mere 45 Euro and for that its really impressively looking and of decent quality as well.
what I did not know (luckily!!) is that the BMW shop 150m down the road sells AGV (yes, the originals from Italy - 80.000 NR a pop). Nice touch how they usurped the "Himalayan" moniker for their bikes!
For the uninitiated: motorrad = motorcycle

Merciless street cops: claws even for small scooties ....
My driver was fined 500 NR for crossing a solid line - probably half his day wage. (I helped him out)
