Found a mechanic in an area the locals told me there were a number of mechanics. Mostly cars but the guy (Yessine) i dealt with was happy to work on the bike

Problem was the cooling fan was knackered. BMW parts for my 2004 Dakar were as you'd imagine. He sourced and modified a honda fan into it and its working fine.

I'm not the most mechanically minded person so called my mechanic (and close friend) back home. Yessine without prompting agreed with my mechanic in the UK. He is mainly an auto electrician but a mechanic too.

No English, but patient and keen to help with my seriously limited French. He was open on Friday morning too, not all were. I joined him and his kids for cous cous too in the shop.

Sorted my bike, part was €160. Agreed on €60 for labour. Probably about 4 hours of work for that. Maybe steep? Don't know, don't care. Its not ludicrous and he pulled a rabbit out of the hat to get me back on the road within 24 hours. Came by my hotel to update me in the evening too
