If.you.ever get a change to watch Long Way Round do it. Ewan McGregor and his buddy ride all the esy around the world on brand new BMWs. They break down in the middle of.Mongolia and are screwed. Some villagers show up on horses and start to fix the bikes with pocket knives until one if the guys breaks out the full BMW toolkit from the other bike and hands it to the villagers. They don't speak English but you can tell they're saying something like "all these tools and they can't fix it?"
