Need clutch disks in Cairo
Could anyone tell me where I can find a Honda dealer in Cairo (or elsewhere in Egypt). I am also loking for a good workplace around here.
Until now I was driving my Honda NTV 650 (built 1994) from Holland through jordan to here, look at www.weirda.com for details).
I hope someone can help. Emails are welcome!
Greetings, Patrick

There's a good guy on Road 7a in Ma'adi called Mohammed - I can get you his phone number if you want. he isnt the main dealer but I am told he is one of the most reliable bike mechanics in Cairo (which isnt saying much, admittedly)

Shop owners in Cairo are *always* confident when they get you in as a customer. Dont be surprised if the clutch doesnt turn up/turns up (very) late/is the wrong part altogether.

TAMAM, so to speak. All is well. The clutch is repared and the bike is up and running. Though prices are quite European I am pleased with the swift repair and the service.
So the topic is closed I guess and and want to thank the lots for helping.
And today was also tha happy day of the Lybian visa in Cairo. So it seems possible.
Greetings, Patrick

Ahmed,

Are you still in Cairo? Myself and a mate are currently in Alexandria and are expected in Cairo on Wednesday 21.04.05 We would be grateful if we could visit with you and service our bikes. We have 2 Africa Twin RD04's and have travelled from London to Egypt so far. We will be continuing south through Sudan, Ethiopia, etc to Cape Town and could do with any help and advice. Both bikes are running fine, but we may have need for a new ignition switch for 1 bike if at all possible. we have made a plan for now, but there might be a few other things we need to, like knobbly tyres and new air filters to replace those we have already mullered.

Hope to meet you in the next couple of days.

Mark
