Been following today's stage on the adventure bike forums and it seems like the stage was a script from a telenovela ... serious drama - being dubbed salt gate!

The salt pans were wet so I think it has been playing havoc with the electrics.

When I backpacked through S America in 2002 we crossed the salar when it was wet (and spent the night trapped in a blizzard - but that is another story) ad our guides packed the engine spaces with leafy branches to stop the water getting into the electrics
