Accident in Peru, need help Puno or La Paz
I started travelling in Oct. 2006 in Guatemala, solo. spent 9 months in C.A., then a boat to Cartegena and now south in Peru almost all on a motorcycle. And am planning to spensd another year in S.A.
A week ago thursday, In think the 8th of November, I was almost to Juli about to cross the border into Bolivia when some drunk Peruano walking, jumped out in front of me doing 100 kph. I clipped him and immediately went down. Ambulance took me to three hospitals and ended up in the regional hospital in Puno for a week with 7 broken ribs and an infected lung. I am now in an hotel in Puno recovering but still very weak. They tell me my bike and personal stuff is at the police station in Pomata, near Juli (I hope).
When I get enough strentgh to hop back on the saddle, I know my bike (Suzuki V-Strohm 1000cc) is going to need a hospital also. I was pretty shook up the day of the accident and had to leave everything behind. Can anyone recommend a bike shop in La Paz or Puno to do some work. I would prefer taking it into Bolivia if there are options there.
