 Morning view from Almaty, Kazakhstan. And Bumblebee is down there. We've already gone down and put the panniers on. So Bumblebee's nearly ready to go. Oh man, this box is heavy. Why beautiful apartment? It was nice, eh? Kazakhstan residents for 10 days. Wasn't it just like two days? It was a nice 10 days though. We got loads of stuff done. We did like podcasts. We did, I wrote an article to the Q&A session with our wonderful members and patrons. Plus, we did a lot of editing. So funny this building's brand new, but this elevator, they haven't even like taken off the packaging that it was shipped in. And it's still got like all these boards on the inside. They didn't even unwrap it. No, it looks all right. It's all run down from inside here. Literally this apartment block was built this year. Crazy. Oh my God. Okay. Let me show you why it's so heavy in this box. What is this guys? This is a rear shock for Bumblebee. A brand new, shiny rear shock that's been sent to us by Motorcycle World in Northampton because those guys are absolute legends. Thanks so much, guys. This is what we needed. But of course it was blocked by customs so yesterday we had to go to the customs office for the second time. It's like Christmas, hey? We have the part. Bumblebee will be a hundred percent soon. So I'm super excited about it. Thank you, Ash. Thank you, Rina. We love you guys. It's time to get Bumblebee fixed. All right, shout out for this car. Money parked really close to us, hey? There are a lot of apartments here with not many places to park. Okay. It's okay. Ready to rock and roll? Yes. Good morning, world. Welcome back to our second navigation around the globe by Motorcycle. We are here in the city of Almaty in Kazakhstan and we just had a really nice 10 days relaxing in a beautiful apartment here. Yeah, we really needed the break for our bodies to recover. Yeah, I mean, that was the end of a really, really, really long leg arriving in Vladivostok, riding across the whole of Siberia, through Mongolia, falling off the bike, breaking a rib, crossing in and out of Russia like four times. Yeah, and this all with the broken suspension. Yeah, so it's been a really intense couple of months. Yeah, definitely very, very adventurous. Yeah, so it was really nice. Oh, hold on, this guy just parked right in front. It was absolutely amazing to just stop, get off the bike for a bit, slow down, and just live the domestic life for 10 days. Yes, yes. But man, I'm excited to get on the road again. Yes, and today is a super important day for that because today we are taking Bumblebee to a garage so that we can change out this rear suspension. We've been sent the suspension by our wonderful sponsors back in my hometown in England, Motorcycle World. So we're not wasting any time. This morning, we are heading over to the garage. We've been recommended this garage by a guy called Serik who's a local here in Almaty, and we found him through the bike post community. We were actually given his number from Kinga on her bike because she traveled through this region a few years ago. So we've messaged them, they said they're open at 9 a.m. So we're heading down, we're gonna get this done. Yes, yes. We're gonna get Bumblebee fixed. So we also had Bumblebee cleaned this week. It's crazy, we're just washing the bike here and there's like a sandstorm around. Look at this. Anyway, Nav is in charge of the washing and I'm in charge of the filming. Come on, mate, thank you. So with a full service as well today, changing the oil, changing the oil filter, checking the brakes, doing all of that kind of stuff, hopefully by the end of today, Bumblebee is gonna be a brand new bike. Yes, exactly. So we don't know exactly how long it doesn't take to do the service. We asked the garage guys and they said it should be done in one day. So let's hope it will be done in one day. It's just seven miles to arrive at the garage and it's already nine o'clock, so better hit the road, let's go. Okay, so apparently this is the place like right here. Oh. But let me just maybe pull in here. Yeah. Yeah, it's supposed to be just there. Okay, give me the phone, I will check. It is just, look. Yeah, just this building there. So to the right here. Yep. Okay. Oh, nice flowers. And then a second to the left here. Left here? Yeah. Okay. Yep, there's definitely like motorcycle only streets. Then to the right here. Right here. Then to the right here. And then it's just, it's just here. Okay, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, cool. Hello, hello. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oli, nice to meet you. Alib. Alib. And this one, Bumblebee. Bumblebee. Yeah. Look at this bike as well. Vintage. Cool. Rusky. Rusky. Wow. It's got like a planet logo on it. Oh, cool. A little scooter. Wow. Rusky, Rusky. Rusky, wow. That's such a nice little bike. Oh. Very dear. Yeah, yeah. Brake, no. Ha ha ha. Whoa, look how long the end of it is. That's really, really cool little scooter. What year? 1975 scooter from Russia. Wow. Cool stuff. Here. Original Suzuki. Well anyway, he doesn't seem like, no, no, no, I can't do it. So I think it's probably hopefully going to be all right. Yeah. Okay, we'll take off all the stuff. So this is the bike post here in Almaty. Any biker traveling through Kazakhstan can stay here for free. It's got like loads of beds. It's got like a Mongolian gear vibe. There is like a wolf skin on the wall though. But how cool is that? Looks very cozy and very charming actually. And it's just great that this community has something like this to offer for travelers. It's amazing. So we just dropped our stuff here. So let's go see about this repair. Hello. Hi. Oli, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. What's your name? Ivan. So we're already taking Bumblebee apart. Bumblebee without a shock. Absolutely crazy. If he can repair this, then he can keep it. So now we have actually to remove all the pins from the old shock and put them into the new shock. So this is Andre from the Nomad Almaty Motorcycle Club. Tell us about this bike post. We meet many travelers from all around the world and help them around with the bikes. Ali is a mechanic. He does all the job. Has he ever worked on a Vistrom before? Yes, I had a Vistrom. He did lots of things on it. He knows what he's doing. Everybody is welcome here. We'll show you around. It's a very nice city of Almaty, many interesting places and many good roads. Tomorrow, Monday, I'll show you around the city. There is lots of good people. Everybody welcome to Almaty. Yeah. Travel is good. And so you're part of the Nomad Motorcycle Club? Yes, Nomad MCC. Look at this. Amazing. It's so cool. This is on gates. It's not many people, maybe 15 or so. But everybody in former USSR knows our club. And everybody can show you around if you say our name. Ali also was in Nomad before. That's so cool. I hope that one day that we can be in a club and get a top with the logo and everything on it. Probably you'll make your own. We make our own club. Well, thank you so much for having us here. I am so relieved. It's just a really nice place to go to, to meet some other awesome bikers and relax for a while, while others do the job. These guys just said that when you and McGregor and Charlie Borman did their long way round trip, they came here to this place. Do you check the bikes? I never seen a bike like this. Yeah, they stay in the place. It's amazing. Love it. OK, Andre here is going to put a new sticker on the windshield of fame. Nomads Almaty. Amazing. Here you go. Oh, yes. There it is. Spasiba. OK, so four hours later, Ali has done it. Yeah, thank you. Amazing stuff. Ali has changed down our shock. He has changed the oil, the oil filter, checked all the brakes, back our chain guards because that had fallen off. So putting new screws in that up here as well. The roads in Mongolia basically just meant that we were just losing screws everywhere. So they basically went around and put all our screws back in, put everything back together. So yeah, full service, plus changing the shock out all in four hours. These guys are amazing. Absolutely amazing. Andre told us that they actually put all the other bikes that they were working on on hold just for us. Cleared the space and we're just like, yep, bring the bike over and we'll get started on it straight away. So these guys are just incredible. These guys have just mastered the art of helping bikers in need. I can't believe it. Bumblebee is brand new and ready to go. So let's try it out, hey? Let's try out the new shock. You can do it. It's good, no? Look at that. Bravo. Sassiva, sassiva. Hoopah. Yep. Yes. Bumblebee is alive. Good to go. Yes. Bye-bye, bye-bye. So there we go. It's not even two o'clock, hey? Wow, really, really, wow, wow, wow. That's service, isn't it? That is service. Yeah, this is like more than service. It's just like pure kindness, support, help, love. It really is. So at the moment we're following Andre. We told him we've already booked accommodation on the other side of the city and he's like, guys, follow me. I'm going to take you there. Look at where he's taking us. Yes, and somebody's swimming there. This river is called the Big Almaty River. And Andre said this is where they get all their water from. It's a really important river for the city. Is that a dog in the river? Yeah, there's a dog in the river. But anyway, this suspension is awesome. Yeah, Bumblebee is a brand new bike again. Cleaned up, serviced. This is just a new world for us now. This is a new world. This is amazing. You can't believe it. How much you helped us out. Thank you so much. Yeah, thank you, guys. You guys are absolutely awesome. Woo! Yes! So anyway, we're just going to ride with Andre now over to our new apartment on the other side of the city. And we'll be staying there for a couple of days so that we can get prepared for the next leg and also go for a ride around Almaty with Andre on Monday. Yes. This is the start of a new adventure now. This is amazing. For sure. No worries anymore. Happy and alive, eh? Yeah. So happy and so alive. So the place should be somewhere here. Just ahead, I think. I saw some pictures online.
