Shock gone fut. third time

If you have been following our travels, you will know that our rear shock absorber has given us plenty of hassle. Here is a picture of me, contemplating the ugly, stupid, terrible, horrible very bad thing, just after if let us down for the third time.

Here's a picture of Emily cutting little tiny logs of wood to push into the spring of the expensive Fox Racing Shox Twin Clicker shock absorber, so that said spring can no longer compress when we go over bumps.

The plan here is to avoid consequential damage to the motorcycle while we ride somewhere other than where we were.I can hardly describe how pissed off I was. How disappointed we were that our plan of heading straight for the earthy, indigenous and beautiful north of Argentina had been foiled. The disgust at the idea of having to send the shock absorber away for an indeterminate period. So we jammed the wooden bits into the spring and limped on.
