The morning greeted them with sunshine and nice weather. Stanislav (the mechanic storing their bikes) came to their hotel on his Yamaha motorcycle and took them to the garage where they bikes were waiting. They changed the tires, front and back. The other ones have been used for 14.000 km which is a really good result. Apparently there's still a bit left of them but with the uncertainty of the roads they'll be driving on the rest of the way it's better to have new tires.

Stanislav showed them the way to an ATM and then rode with them out of the city. As they said their goodbyes he made them promise to call from Vladivostok to tell him how the trip there went. It's amazing to meet a guy like him, so helpful and decent.
