It was another happy reunion at breakfast today. When Re walked to Yasmeen for roti and coffee, Mohammad was overjoyed. After breakfast, I exchanged a couple of emails with Cam, of the good news/bad news variety. The good news was that he could get me an entire replacement clutch and side cover gasket mailed today. The sort of bad news, was that he couldn't get a clutch adjustment bolt until later in the week. I decided to have him go ahead and ship the clutch and gasket, and I would find a bolt locally. In between emails, we spent the morning working on a “to do” list of things we need to get done while we are in Georgetown.

One of the things we needed to do was restock some of our toiletries, so after a lunch of Hainanese chicken and rice, we walked to Mydin with our shopping list. Later, we walked to a local motorbike parts store, where I bought a new chain for my bike. The o-ring chain I put on my bike before we left the States has developed one nasty tight spot, so it's time for a new one. When the store owner told me that the price of a new RK 420, 96-link, non o-ring chain (o-ring chains are very uncommon here) would be less than 12 ringgit (4 USD), I bought two of them. It's always good to have a spare, and it's even better when they're four bucks. While we were there, we also priced replacement Yuasa batteries and rear tires. They did indeed have Yuasas in stock in the right size, and they are only 12 USD! Ours are still working okay, but they have been refilled with tap water several times, so it might be a good idea to buy an inexpensive replacement and promise to treat it right this time. Our rear tires are both holding up remarkably well, considering that we installed them in Ooty, India, almost 10,000 miles ago, and they still have about half the tread left. However, we can't get this type of Dunlop in the US, so we may buy a couple to take home with us, especially at 16 USD each.

Re was coming down with another bad headache, so we headed back to the room and the A/C. I left Re to take a nap and did some more posting online. I'm a little embarrassed to say, but in a city where we are spoiled for choices, we went to McDonald's for dinner. After dinner, Re talked with her parents on Skype for a while. After that, she needed to go to the corner bar for a cold one.
