Shit happens part 2

UPDATE: Helmet wasnt stolen! A security guard took it and locked it up for the night. I had left my marrocan number just in case!

FOR SALE: new helmet, worn twice, funny colour.

Last night my helmet was stolen from the bike (my fault).
At 9:30 in the morning I went to get the replacement and was stopped by a policeman because of the missing helmet. He also checked my papers and .......it turns out my marrocan insurance expired on the 17th June!

Big issue! The BMW was impounded after waiting for the tow truck in this heat! I was taken to the station (Medina) and had to wait.

Eventually the top guy told me to show him the German insurance paper. I had a 4 hour window until the station closes to present a document or else! My mobile was dead and I needed the laptop. I got a taxi to the campsite and called the insurance people. They issued a new insurance policy starting yesterday, emailed it to me and I got the taxi guy to drive me to a print shop. With the paper I went back to the police station and so I was continuously insured in Marroco.

Long story short. After 6h in 40 degrees this saga was over and I had the BMW back.

First job was to get a helmet. Not beautiful, but will do the job.
Second job was to eat and get a beer from the supermarket!Read more
