I am talking here from personal experience. One bruised rib was very painful, and I was administered some medication for the pain. I wasn't thinking as clearly as usual. Considering you have 7 broken ribs and a lung infection, and are probably taking something for the pain, you might want to consider finding the very best "mechanic" read "Medical Doctor" or someone like "Chamalu" in Cochabamba, Bolivia (if you are into shamans) for your own broken parts.

Regarding transport of your bike to "reputable" repair, with some recourse if repair is not done correctly or too expensive you might try contacting the Touring and Automovile Club of Peru. Reps probably speak better English than we do. Also, these people sit around all day and wait for someone just like you to help. Really. They love to help foreigners...and there is a reciprical agreement between Auto clubs world wide that is described here:

AAA Exchange

Just click Around the World, then click International Clubs...

I note "rkreveg" includes the abbrivation "veg" are you vegetarian? Anyway. I thought you might be and thus gave you the referance to the shaman above, who has a lot of followers who are vegetarian.

Wow, your Suzuki V- Strohm 1000 sounds great and served you well since Oct 06 and all of Central America. Maybe you could let it rest a little, it might be a little heavy for you, until you repair yourself. Please post report if you contact Auto Club of Peru and if they help you with advice and/or bike transport or legal help with the police. xfiltrate Buena Suerte Amigo
