Day 6 25 jan 2012 Oudom Xai - Luang Prabang

Somehow the red BMW GSA refused to start in the cold morning after all effort checking the oil, petrol line and the battery. Tried to call a bmw mechanic from Malaysia but not answering the phone, maybe still in bed. At last resorted to tow the bike with another BMW GSA.

Not an easy task towing 300+kg fully loaded bike on twisting gravel road

Spectator

Around 11 am managed to call BMW mechanic in Malaysia he give a few points to check on the bike and may be the fuel pump relay fail..decided to bypass the relay with 'MacGyver style' on the road side and the bike was able to moved again.

We reach Luang Prabang safely around 4pm.
