Haha, well it was in the middle of the day. I would probably still be running if it happened at night. The forests are actually quite beautiful by day. Also I stayed relatively close to the road with local people within shouting distance. I panicked a bit when I couldn't call anyone, but after resolving that it was pretty chill. Turned out it was an electrical problem with the bike and some wires had probably rattled lose. The mechanic was able to fix it pretty quickly. So essentially a potentially bad situation was actually pretty good.
